Magic Bus

Anytime I see a VW bus I point it out – “Look! Magic Bus!” And it makes me smile when a small child sees one before I do and says “Look! Magic Bus!” I want a Magic Bus. I was sad when Naked Jen said goodbye her Magic Bus. And then there’s this little ode to a Magic Bus that makes me smile so much that I have it saved is my feed reader and cannot bring myself to unsave it. I like seeing the Magic Bus every time I read my feeds and I like reading the little passage, too.

I love the Magic Bus.

Daily Dose of Cupcakes

mominsunflowerpick.jpgThe picks featured are sold out – that’s the problem with Mother’s Day – you have to shop early or stuff sells out and then all you’re left with are silly things like bonnets or shoes and makeup or mom in a bikini. Oh wait, the bonnets are also sold out. Weird. Happy Mother’s Day anyway – and for those who need it, burn a bit of sage just in case.

Thinking Blogger

thinkingblogger.jpg
So, skeet thinks I am a thinking blogger. I am a thinking blogger. I think a lot about stuff, blogging in particular. Skeet knows this because I often think out loud about blogging and she happens to be in the perfect place to hear me thinking out loud. About blogging. And stuff.There are rules that come with the Thinking Blogger prestige.

1. If, and only if, you get tagged, write a post with links to 5 blogs that make you think.

2. Link to this post so that people can easily find the exact origin of the meme.

3. Optional: Proudly display the Thinking Blogger Award

Now to tag five blogs that make me think. Tough because it’s hard to limit it to just five.

1) Oh My Stinkin Heck is a hermit and understands hermits and because yes actually I would like to be one and because oh yea, I am one.

2) Now this is a blogger who makes you think, particularly with this post about choosing to ink or not to ink – no it isn’t someone trying to decide whether or not to get a tattoo – it’s a post about a tattoo artist trying to decide whether to give the customer what he/she has asked for.

3) Over at Indyness there is a post about gay folk seeking approval. It’s also about a church who is “supporting gay folk”. It’s a post that I love. It’s touching on a topic that queer folks sweep under the rug and a topic queer supporters get defensive about.

4) Faggots on the Third Floor will make you think just by the title of the blog but I’m linking this post because it’s an issue and because she’s bad talking the ever popular and much loved lesbaru errr subaru. I love TW’s Forester but I have always griped about the placement of the AC/HEAT vents in that car.

5) Maternal Musings from Mermaidgrrrl is awesome. A femme dyke gives birth (which did not go as planned) and, well, just go start at the top (and yes there are photos with nudity, get over yourselves) and read for awhile. And then think for awhile.

In sweet loving surrender….

this sucks. Good luck Kate. Once The Riverdale Goddess – always The Riverdale Goddess. Blog or no blog.

I’d like to be a fly on the wall of the person (people) who initiated this. When they read her post, will that be enough? Is taking down the content really enough for them? I rather doubt it. They’ve made a decision that “The River Goddess” needed to go but now that it is (or will be once google cache disappears) won’t they expect something else from her? Won’t they insist she change something else about who she is? Why would removing her blog content be enough for these people?

I’m afraid this is only the beginning of The River Goddess’s problems at her “real job”. In my experience people who say “do this and you can keep doing that” tend to come back again with more demands, until they’ve taken everything they can possibly take – and then some.

I understand her compliance but I don’t like it. I don’t like that she was forced to choose.

March, April, May New Discoveries?

Can they still be considered newly discovered blogs if I discovered them three months ago? I have no idea how so much time passed without me introducing you to new blogs. My life is nuts, obviously.

So, let’s see… what’s new, or relatively new, in my Bloglines?

Ah well, another time, I’m sure.Happy Blog Surfing!

101 Things Update

Look an update! On time! Unfortunately I don’t have much to cross off!

We did go visit my mom.

We did stop at an unusual roadside attraction (that would be SoB and I dare you to say it doesn’t count!)

We tried to listen to a book on audio, got through 5 of the 7 tapes and gave up because it was bad. We’re listening to another now, that I know we will finish because we love Mma Ramotswe on audio.

I wonder if next month I’ll have more to cross out… probably not. Darn it.
