Are blogs over?
Wired says they are. They are because what is written in personal blogs like mine never show up on google searches, so, without a large audience, it is better to just keep in touch with friends via social networking sites and twitter, etc. This blog hasn't captured my attention in the last six months, but that has more to do with the fact that I have a more active social life than I did when I was married, and I bounce my ideas off and tell my stories to real, live friends.

Bookish Women
I put a "Reading is Sexy" sticker on my truck a few months ago, and this weekend I found this image collection of women reading, clearly proof that I'm not the only one who feels that seeing a woman read is beautiful and sensual.

A Bob Dylan Blog
So, I was trying to remember that song, that Dylan song, about the friends? I have no idea what it is about, but it's sort of talky and I don't understand it naturally, but it seems to be about how the friendships you have in your early twenties seem like they will last forever, and then by the time you're thirty you have a completely new set of friends and you're like "Oh god, I'm so glad I didn't marry that person?

Prob 8 Videos
There's link to a pro-gay marriage commercial below, but I won't link to the many disturbing pro-Prob 8 videos on you-tube. Most of them imply that gay marriage causes lighting, wildfires, and sex with animals. The video below uses the text of Corinthians 13, everyone's favorite bible verse. More...

What to do, what to do?
I've already reached my limit with electoral politics, I mean, talking about the Republican ticket. The Democrats need to beat the voting machines, and the only way they can do that is to register more voters and turn out the vote in every precinct. In the meantime, Anne Lamott wrote something I wish I had, saying everything I wish I could say, and then much more more. Here is an excerpt, and the essay erupts with many, many more. More...
