During last year’s BlogFestivus, one of the best bloggers I found was RewindRevise, who lives and writes in New York City. Lindsey’s thoughtful and funny, about to get married, and as I can see it, her largest defect as a person is her continuing support for the New York Football Giants. No one’s perfect. This…
Kelly and Tom both did this good set of interview questions from BBAW (Book Bloggers Appreciation Week) and I figured I hadn’t done a meme in a while. This one offers a little view into how reading gets done around The Aerie. Do you snack while you read? If so, favorite reading snack? Rarely. I…
As a scientist, I’m not predisposed to giving into superstition.* And when you come visit our laboratory, I would invite you to ignore the Money Cat and the stolen Manger Hay. Earlier, Lenore Diane tagged me in a chain letter post in which I am supposed to answer a couple of questions. Now, not wanting…
There’s a fun meme that has gone around for the past couple days about asking folks interview questions. I first heard about it from Steph. Here’s a quick run down on how to play and her original post here: If you’re interested in getting interviewed by me, leave me a comment saying, “Interview Me.” Please…
How Long Are Those Blogshorts? “Thirty days,” she said. “I suppose…” he replied. He knew that Post-a-day had fizzled and the Month of Books Meme had stalled badly around Day 17. “Ahhhh…what the hell…” ******* Blogdramedy has challenged those of us that think about short fiction to think about really short fiction during June. Blogshorts:…
When I first read this question on the 30 Days of Books list, I thought “Hrrrmmm… didn’t I already post this in some ‘2010 Favorites’ post?” And the surprising answer is that I didn’t. Well then here we go. Day 01 – Best book you read last year 2010 was a good year reading-wise for…
I’ve been feeling in a little bit of a blogging slump recently and there might not be anything to break me out of it than: a) a good meme or b) writing about books. Well, Ross came to the rescue last week with a great combo of the two: 30 Days of Books, in which…
Jen posted this meme to facebook a couple of days and tagged me with it. The Rules: Don’t take too long to think about it. Fifteen fictional characters (television, films, plays, books) who’ve influenced you and that will always stick with you. List the first fifteen you can recall in no more than fifteen minutes.…
I’m feeling a little cantankerous this morning, and so following Cori’s and Kelly’s lead, I’ve decided to list Twenty Things that I don’t want to learn or hear about. Feel free to join in with your own list. 1. Any couple that has their names made into a contraction i.e Speidi, Brangelina 2. Any news…
It seems a little impossible, but this is the fourth anniversary of starting this blog. Wow. That’s a quite a while. The number refers to the total number of posts since its inception. Again – wow. There’s been a lot of social media changes for me over the last year. Facebook and Twitter have asserted…
