sputnik: Where I Was 9/11
http://sputnik1.blogspot.com/2009/09/where-i-was-911.html
Random musings- but mostly RAVINGS- of an aging space case. Friday, September 11, 2009. Where I Was 9/11. It's that anniversary again. I'll never forget the shame I felt, and still feel, about taking things so for granted. Don't you know about it? Don't you know what happened? Because of the overwhelming with this event, I never did reschedule the bathroom visit, and never got any bathrooms remodeled. Which is just as well. Because a few months later, our company went through unprecedented massiv...That'...

sputnik: And another stupid ad
http://sputnik1.blogspot.com/2009/10/and-another-stupid-ad.html
Random musings- but mostly RAVINGS- of an aging space case. Wednesday, October 07, 2009. And another stupid ad. Some time ago I posted about a particular pregnancy test that seemed to me completely inappropriate. I don't think pregnancy tests themselves are inappropriate- in fact, until finishing menopause (hooray! I found them pretty handy. But this same company now has an ad, narrated inexplicably by a man (why does he get more credibility than a woman. Who would be the expert and marketing target?

Random musings- but mostly RAVINGS- of an aging space case. Tuesday, August 03, 2010. Dictionary" is a word my children, 18 and 13, do not recognize as part of their generation's extremely limited. I do not understand people who don't use books. My answer to all their questions is always, "Go LOOK IT UP! Thing #2, at this moment, a regional and national champion swimmer, is Mr. Social Butterfly (hahaha; butterfly, get it? He is multitasking: addictively texting ALL DAY with multiple girls at once on his ...

sputnik: Bad Hair Day
http://sputnik1.blogspot.com/2010/05/bad-hair-day.html
Random musings- but mostly RAVINGS- of an aging space case. Tuesday, May 11, 2010. Admittedly, my haircut and color are easily four months past their "use-by" date. Even when it was at its best, my hair took on other people's personalities and appearances while I was sleeping. Even with a new cut, I wake up and look in the mirror before brushing my hair to see who I am starting out as today. Frequently it's John F. Kennedy. Other days it's Conan O'Brien. (See?

sputnik: And, bring on the hearing aid, please!

Random musings- but mostly RAVINGS- of an aging space case. Tuesday, August 10, 2010. And, bring on the hearing aid, please! My inability to understand popular song lyrics is getting worse, to the great amusement of my sons, who can understand anything, including obscure mispronounced rap. Not only do I literally not understand the "enunciation" (if one can properly call it that), but I also do not understand the slang, culture, context- it might as well be beamed down from outer space by aliens. It's 'I...

Random musings- but mostly RAVINGS- of an aging space case. Wednesday, November 30, 2005. Sorry, folks. The images here aren't rendering properly. The image seems to be missing, although the code is correct. I've also seen that it doesn't work on other people's blogs, either. Where you see an ugly black box, there's supposed to be an image of a little black pirate flag. Test yourself by clicking the link (in hard-to-see white text) at the bottom of the beige box. My pirate name is:. Get off my touritary!

Random musings- but mostly RAVINGS- of an aging space case. Tuesday, May 31, 2005. Burn, Baby, Burn. Danger, Will Robinson! I was going to entitle this entry "Phobia," but a phobia is an unreasonable. Fear ungrounded in reality. This not about a phobia, but a combination of confession and plea. Gas stations are terrifying because people are DUMB, DUMB, DUMB! And they do not read. Or are illiterate to begin with. So instead of noticing the signs loudly screaming from every pump NO SMOKING! I've seen the t...

Random musings- but mostly RAVINGS- of an aging space case. Tuesday, October 11, 2005. Okay, I'm going to try a little analogy here, although I'm not sure it works. It involves a little something that happened at a movie theater yesterday that disturbed me and made me think a bit. Have you encountered MS Flushem 2005 yet? That's just this year's "upgrade"; the product has been around since 2001 or so but by now it's spread all over the country, and even though there hasn't been a single improvement- in f...

Random musings- but mostly RAVINGS- of an aging space case. Monday, December 06, 2004. Serialization and the Blog Medium. Some people are serial killers. I don't care how many times. I have to wrestle with the process; the process has long been part of my nature, sister to my soul. I'll work it over or throw it out without compunction- as many times as it takes to carry the intended message to the intended audience. Finished, either. It's simply more evolved than its earlier incarnations. But the trust i...
