Backpacking through Italy one summer we happened upon an abandoned villa. We stayed there for weeks, living like tramps and kings. We washed our clothes in a nearby creek and hung them to dry in the foyer beneath a majestic chandelier. We feasted on food "borrowed" from local fields and sat for hours talking about life and love and things of great and little importance. At night we built a fire in the grand fireplace and slept in front of it. Sometimes when he would wake to feed the fire he would wake me, too, and we would make love half-sleeping like a dream. A dream, a dream, it was all a dream.. but I could have stayed there forever.

Thanks for the inspiration Saskia.]]> http://www.stumbleupon.com/url/www.eastmanimages.com/ Thu, 03 Jul 2008 13:15:46 -0700 http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/7488009.stm http://wildhoneysuckle.stumbleupon.com/review/23067053/ "Google must divulge the viewing habits of every user who has ever watched any video on YouTube, a US court has ruled."]]> http://www.stumbleupon.com/url/news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/7488009.stm Thu, 03 Jul 2008 08:50:12 -0700 http://site.despair.com/despairwear/ http://wildhoneysuckle.stumbleupon.com/review/23060408/ It's bad enough I have to see these played out, stupid to begin with motivational posters on the internet, but now I have to see them on people too?

Nine years ago, sitting at the kitchen table with my mother and my little brother. We're playing Life. Mom lands on the "Congratulations, you just had twins" space. She snarls with disgust as she shoves two pink pegs in her car. Nonchalantly she says, "If I had it to do all over again, I wouldn't have any kids." My brother and I look at each other. Three years later our baby sister is born.]]> http://www.stumbleupon.com/url/commonties.com/ Thu, 03 Jul 2008 07:12:57 -0700 http://chowderheadbazoo.typepad.com/chowderheadbazoo/bane_of_my_existence/index.html http://wildhoneysuckle.stumbleupon.com/review/23058021/ ]]> http://www.stumbleupon.com/url/chowderheadbazoo.typepad.com/chowderheadbazoo/bane_of_my_existence/index.html Wed, 02 Jul 2008 15:18:32 -0700 http://theshapeofdays.com/2007/01/28/which-is-worse-a-pompous-ass-or-an-illiterate-jerk.html http://wildhoneysuckle.stumbleupon.com/review/23037932/ Dammit. I was just coming to write a comment about how I love the way this linguistics nerd segued from "an invocation of a time of spiritual innocence without naivete" to "totally jacks my shit", but it seems jaya beat me to it. Ah well.

My other point was that I, personally, would never call a black person "niggardly". Even though *I* know what it means I don't know if *they* know what it means, you know what I mean? The connotation of that other word would be enough to make me say something like, I dunno, "stingy" instead. If you're brainy enough to walk around talking like a dictionary then you're brainy enough to employ a little tact and common sense as well.

I also take issue with the idea that the word "utilize" is a redundant form of the word "use". "Utilize" infers practicality whereas "use" does not.]]> http://www.stumbleupon.com/url/theshapeofdays.com/2007/01/28/which-is-worse-a-pompous-ass-or-an-illiterate-jerk.html Wed, 02 Jul 2008 14:51:54 -0700 http://sirjorge.com/1000bookstoread.html http://wildhoneysuckle.stumbleupon.com/review/23037336/ Thumbs down for "and where to buy them", thumbs down for a meaningless list with no rhyme, reason or synopses (No, I didn't just misspell that. Synopses is the plural of synopsis. Look it up.) and thumbs down for including Jesus Freaks by DC Talk.

I have a bit of a fabric obsession. Not even a very logical one, because I'm really not that crafty. I'm always falling in love with and buying fabrics and I plan to do things with them, but in reality they just sit in a huge box under my bed. This crafting blog, however, makes me want to pull that box out and make everything from the first post to the last. ]]> http://www.stumbleupon.com/url/www.ohfransson.com/oh_fransson/ Wed, 02 Jul 2008 08:01:05 -0700 http://currentconfig.com/archives/000083.html http://wildhoneysuckle.stumbleupon.com/review/23026184/

Finally someone illustrates what I have been saying for like.. always. ]]> http://www.stumbleupon.com/url/currentconfig.com/archives/000083.html
