The Sassy Spinster: Take Back Halloween!
http://thesassyspinster.blogspot.com/2010/10/take-back-halloween.html
Single, no cats yet ;-). Tuesday, October 26, 2010. Take Back Halloween: a costume guide for women with imagination! Not a store, but a page of fun costume ideas and suggestions for people who are bored with pre-packaged. Spandex "sexy" costumes. Or those who miss the days of building a fun costume out of flannel bedsheets ;-). OK, I'm actually wearing spandex for my Shadowcat costume. This year, but it is normal everyday durable dancer spandex some Salvation Army finds. And it goes with my boots!

Old Snarky Me: March 2009
http://oldsnarkyme.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Wherein I gab away about whatever happens to be on my mind at the moment. Thursday, March 12, 2009. The Travesty of Butchered Typewriters. There's something that's been bothering me lately. I know that steampunk fashion is fascinating and all that, but I cannot in any way condone or understand why people insist on cutting the keys off of vintage typewriters so they can turn them into jewelry. Why has no-one thought of making reproduction typewriter keys for the sole purpose of arts and crafts? I could un...

Rum-Soaked Review: November 2009
http://rumsoakedreview.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 20, 2009. Lucky Day, indeed: Tom Waits, Glitter and Doom Live. Fortune smiles every now and then. For me, it was Kings Road Merch mailing my package containing 1 copy of Glitter and Doom Live. 1 copy of True Confessions. And 1 size medium limited tour t-shirt of Tom Waits' Untitled 1. Oil on Concrete on Tuesday and it arriving well before the official release date. It's small joys like that that make life worth living these days. We are provided a good mix of songs from the late Island e...

Rum-Soaked Review: December 2008
http://rumsoakedreview.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 17, 2008. Sarah Slean, The Baroness Redecorates. Sorry for being scarce, my few but loyal readers. Well, at least I think you're loyal. Belts have been tight in these parts, so I haven't had the graft to keep up with everything I want to write about. For awhile, I was thinking about simply calling it quits rather than leave this thing open with nothing happening. However, we're back for at least one more ride around the block. Her offering for 2008's list of new releases. The very tit...

Rum-Soaked Review: February 2009
http://rumsoakedreview.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 18, 2009. DeVotchKa, A Mad and Faithful Telling. I can't remember exactly where I first heard about DeVotchKa. Perhaps it was from one of the times I went trawling through ANTI- Records' catalog in a desperate search for something new. Or maybe it was through the myspace page of one of their friends of friends or something of that nature. In any event, I heard a couple of songs and was instantly intrigued. How many times shall I tell thee that A Mad and Faithful Telling. However, ANTI...

Rum-Soaked Review: October 2008
http://rumsoakedreview.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 31, 2008. I'm Not Dead Yet. Yes, I know that updates have been few and far between over here. What can I say? The economy is rotten, and my budget has been in the toilet since long before this blog was ever created. In the spirit of the holiday, I trust you are all picking out your favorite creepy-gothic-whatsits off the shelf and playing them loud and proud. Okay, that video is a little cheesy, but shut up, they're an awesome band. The Hunt at myspace. Compiled from the manuscripts of.

Wherein I gab away about whatever happens to be on my mind at the moment. Wednesday, November 19, 2008. He Won; Enough Already! Okay, I made it abundantly clear (at least to my friends), that no matter who won the election, I wouldn't be thrilled on the morning of November 5th. Hungover would be more accurate. As the days to voting dwindled, you'd have to be a moron to think McCain stood a chance. What are Barack's top secrets of success? What is he going to replace the White House bowling alley with?

Old Snarky Me: 2010
http://oldsnarkyme.blogspot.com/2010/01/2010.html
Wherein I gab away about whatever happens to be on my mind at the moment. Friday, January 1, 2010. Happy fucking New Year. Here's to another 12 miserable months. Okay, fine, I'll stop being so cynical. Something good has to happen, and I'll be damned if I don't try in this new year, this extra opportunity to make it good, this galactic 1-up that comes around to say, "Yes, another year has died; but you have many more levels to go before you sleep. Your princess is always in another castle.". Who is this ...
