In response to President Obama's complaint that FOX News doesn't show enough Black and Hispanic people on their network, FOX has announced that they will now air "America's Most Wanted" TWICE a week.

HA!
I don't know who wanted to know (I'm merely volunteering information), but my husband and I just bought a house and should be closing in...geez, three or four weeks.
*enter shock here*
So we're in the midst of packing, finishing a school year/semester and all the other fun stuff. I won't be posting much, if at all, for a while. Especially if he gets a summer school position because we've a kitchen to remodel (and wallpaper to tear down and carpet to replace...oy vey. Great house, but it's like a step into the 60s. It's a trip)
I'll also be spending just under a week or so in Texas at the end of July to meet a longtime online friend of mine. Go see her blog. I've known her since I was 14 or 15. I think it's about time we met, no?
There's just a lot of crap--good crap, don't get me wrong--going on over the next little while.
In the meantime, I'm trying to cut down on my stress. It's been getting the better part of me lately. I'll post when I can, if something neat strikes me or I get feisty (I've a few posts in my queue and in my head, but I'm just not in the mood).
If you find yourself bored, any of the blogs on my sidebars are worth a look or twenty. There's also Going Dutch: How I learned to love the European Welfare State for some social democratic fun--
--Or go to town on some of my articles. Most are crap, but I've got a few good ones in there. It's an appropriate place for me to learn. Examples of the good:
The Other F Word
In Defense of Harry Potter
Thirteen Haunted Places to Stay in Northern California
*My second most popular article. I'll admit it's quite long. I was determined to stick with 13 for apparent reasons. This was my first article I interviewed others for. Quite frightening, to be honest. But it's a good one. I'm proud of it.
For those who are wondering, my most popular article is 10 Ways to Remove Stains From an Asphalt Driveway. Go look if you want. It's more practical than entertaining, obviously. I'm glad I took the assignment though. I had no idea there was such a demand.
And for the blog theme, I've California's Prop 8. It's still doing fairly well.
Then there's my first published short short story, Trapped. I hope you like.
Anyway, I hope everyone is well. Thanks again for reading :D

The short story link didn't work.
But congrats. It's not easy to get a short story published. I had a couple one-page stories published years and years ago. A third, longer one got accepted by a different magazine but a month before the publishing date arrived nearly two years later, the magazine went defunct!
Ah damn. I forgot the .html at the end. I'll go fix that.
here you go:)
I'm hoping to get myself in gear enough to query/write an article for a printed publication. It's frightening, so congrats (even if it went defunct!)
Closest I've gotten was a very nice rejection letter. But at least that, right?
And that article from the NY Times was great, Lisa. It really showed the positive things I really like about Europe's culture!
