Link-a-licious!

Ok, so I know my links area is getting a little bit busy but really, what am I supposed to do? There are a lot of sites out there I think you should visit. Anyhoo, I have added a couple of new friendly gnomers whose sites are of interest. The Muddler is, what I believe the kids these days call a technophile or digirati. He seems to know what he's talking about even if some of the time I, sadly, do not. Happily, sprinkled throughout the computer geek (No dis Muddler, I hold computer geeks in the highest esteem.) lingo are blogs about music and miscellaneous things.
I've also added George the Dog's blog. George lives with my longtime friend Lola and her boyfriend Jim in San Francisco. It's new and I don't really know much about it but Lola and I have known each other for over 15 years and she's never led me down a wrong path. Except that one time when we killed that drifter...
Finally, if you're in the mood for love or want to look for love in all the wrong places go and check out Lemontonic: The Revolution in Online Dating. The site is easy to use and pleasant to look at.

Oh yeah, and I've added The Onion because it's always made me laugh.

FreeVu Concert

Not for everyone I know but I thought my Gnomers should be in the know.

FreeVu concert featuring Robbie Williams!

Synopsis: Spend New Year's Eve with superstar Robbie Williams in stunning HD! Recorded Live in Berlin and airing for the first time in North America. Don't miss this incredible show on December 31st at 7 p.m. & 1 a.m. (ET)

Time Machine

Ok, take a journey with me back through time to the magical decade of the 80s when a odd little lady named Cyndi ruled the airwaves. I admit it, I like Cyndi Lauper.(I was never much interested in being cool). I remember when I was a girl who just wanted to have fun, drive all through the night and see people's true colours before Phil Collins came and cheesed it out. I mean, seriously people, she was on the Goonies soundtrack, the Goonies. Anyway, to make a point of some kind, I bought her CD called The Twelve Deadly Cyns... and then Some and I am enjoying it. Although I was pretty young back in the 80s I do remember the songs and where I was at thatt time in my life. Good clean fun. Remember when times were fun? Remember when they were clean? Now? Not so much.

The Space Between

Really though, what is the purpose of coming into work when no one else is here? First of all, I had to postpone my vacay because the Powers that Be let everyone in their department go therefore everyone in my department had to stay over the holidays. Nothing is truer than the old saying "Most people suck". Ok, so maybe it's not an old saying per se but something that is tried and true in my vocab.

Anyhoo, I hope you all had a nice Christmas and Hanukah. I don't think I know anyone who celebrates Kwanzaa but if I do, I apologize and I hope you had a nice Kwanzaa too.

Lo, how a rose ever blooming?


Happy Holidays Gnomers!
As many of you will have no doubt noticed, that splendid time of year has arrived when peace on earth reigns and so on. I hope all of you have gotten all your Christmas shopping done and are enjoying the festive season. I also wanted to take the opportunity to thank all my loyal readers for sticking with me through thick and thin (mostly thin!) on this blog. Merci beaucoup for your interest and support to Steffo, Sooz, Sheen, the Muddler and mon petit chou Scott. If there are others then I'm sorry for not mentioning you but I give you my props.

Sleeper Cell

After a nice relaxing weekend I have come back to you to recommend a new show that I saw on TMN tonight. It seems to have been on for a little while before it came to my attention but now that it has I felt compelled to share it with you. Brought to us from the people at Showtime (which means you can't see the damned official site!) it follows Darwin Al-Sayeed an American-Muslim who is undercover and has infiltrated an extremist sleeper cell in LA. Compelling and well-acted, it definately is worth the time to check it out. I believe the new episodes are shown on Sundays at 10pm and is rerun on Tuesdays and Saturdays.

P.S. Eric, the show isn't a "Terminally"-Canadian production. It looks and feels like a movie. No financial shortcuts to be seen.

It smells like salami at EY

I have been sitting at the reception for the past hour and I keep on getting these strong whiffs of salami or olives, I don't know which but it's beginning to tick me off.

Guy Candy - I can't believe it's not butter!

The Reclusive Exclusive


Eh, what's up doc?
After a slight absence from the blogging world I have returned refreshed and ready to share with the world my thoughts, stupid things that interest me, and guy candy. Speaking of which, I will post GC tomorrow and I think it's good but you know, you can't make everyone happy so anyone who disagrees with my choices please be nice because I am, afterall, a gentle soul. (Stop snickering). If you can't be nice then you can, you know, go to hell.

Anyhoo, has anyone else been having trouble posting because I have. Admittedly, I haven't been willing to write a lot in the past couple of weeks but when I have made the effort to sign into the site I have been met with resistance at every turn! Sheesh, it's like there's a conspiracy out there of people who don't want the Gnomish word heard. I blame the people and Muffin.

I'm posting a picture of a cat because I like cats.
