Monday Meme – Hallowe’en Meme

By Em | Published: Monday, October 26, 2009
Happy Monday, folks.  I must admit that I’m not quite in a Halloween mood yet. Not sure why. I’ve been trying. It could be the years of living in high-rise apartments taking their toll. I don’t have a house to decorate. I don’t have kids to dress up in costumes or have kids coming door-to-door in [...]

Google Poem: Real men love…

By Em | Published: Saturday, October 24, 2009

Dear Olympics

By Em | Published: Friday, October 2, 2009
Catblogging is preempted for this crap… Please, PLEASE stop giving me reasons to despise the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. I thought I was 100% against you before, but now that you ripped off the goddamned neo-Con logo, I guess that puts me at what, something like 110% against? Yes, we have have moved into the realm [...]
