Just call me <i>short attention span girl</i>. I wanted to give it a theme, but I wasn't sure if "Twilight-Free Zone" was enough to carry a blog. I intended to get to work on it right after we had put everything right by electing <strike>Paul Ryan</strike> Mitt Romney. Yeah. So, anyway.....<br />
<br />
There's been a lot of talk of a third party, which values should we jettison, can social cons and fiscal cons live together in peace, etc. Which gave me an idea. If I will be making big decisions about new political parties and new agendas, if might behoove me to brush up on... well, everything related to history, politics and economics. <br />
<br />
Of course, I don't have the time or, frankly, the inclination to sit down with multi-volume tomes on these topics. So the tentative plan is to look for popular works, YouTube videos, documentaries, pod-casts, etc that can enlighten without taunting me, unread, from the bookshelf like <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Basic-Economics-Common-Sense-Economy/dp/0465022529/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1353344686&sr=8-1&keywords=basic+economics+thomas+sowell">Basic Economics</a> is doing right now. 786 pages. Maybe when the little one goes to kindergarten.<br />
<br />
So, first up: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/The-Forgotten-Man-History-Depression/dp/0060936428/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1353345534&sr=8-1&keywords=forgotten+man+amity+shlaes">The Forgotten Man</a>, by Amity Shlaes, has been sitting, neglected, by my bed for a long time. I'm just a few chapters in and.... well, let's just say things are looking kind of familiar.<br />
<br />

<br />
Oh sure, you used the government roads to drive to your job and your neighbor used them to drive to his meth dealer. That doesn't mean you're a hard worker. You're just lucky.<br />
<br />
OK, maybe you used the Internet to find a job, get a Master's degree or market your product all over the world and your neighbor used it to surf for free pron. That doesn't mean you're smart. You're just lucky.<br />
<br />
All this luck could just as easily have blessed your neighbor. In fact, if life was fair, it would have. Just look at the poor guy. He obviously needs it more than you do.<br />
<br />
So, just give your profits to the people smart enough to get a job in government so they don't have to work hard, and we'll take care of everything. You're just lucky to have us looking out for you.<br />

This has become my favorite <a href="http://amazon.com/gp/product/B005890G8Y/ref=famstripe_kt">Kindle</a> feature. (Well, besides the ability to throw 100 books in my purse as I run out the door. That's cool, too) If, while trolling the internet, a book even kind-a-sort-a strikes my fancy, I have the sample sent to my Kindle. I can then review it at my leisure. If it looks good, I stick it in a file for potential future buys. If not, I delete it.<br />

This was a lab course for the liberal arts types. In this course, circa 1988, I learned many interesting "facts." For example, I learned that the planet was going to run out of fossil fuel..... by the year 2000. I also learned about the coming population explosion. People would be dying in the streets of starvation... by the year 2000. And the graph that demonstrated the population explosion was, naturally, a hockey stick.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Being a credulous youth of 18, I was horrified. But, life intervened and I soon forgot the coming apocalypse, only to remember it 20-something years later, when confronted with the new coming apocalypse. Hey! Whatever happened to those old coming apocalypses? </div>
<div>

They are not generally available outside the southwest due to their delicate skin, which makes them difficult to ship. <br />
<br />
This new makes me even more exited about the south-facing window in our new house. For the first time ever, I won't be living in middle of a forest and may actually be able to grow some house plants. Meyer lemon just made the candidate list.<br />

Howard. These were right up my alley, in that they were dark, but not too dark, and laugh-out-loud funny in places. Imagine a less creepy Neil Gaiman. <br />
<br />
In <u>Necromancer</u>, we meet Cabal, a brilliant scientist who has sold his soul to the Devil in exchange for knowledge of necromancy. Alas, necromancy does not work quite right for the soulless, so Cabal wants it back. A bored Satan makes him an offer: If Cabal can collect 100 souls in one year, he can win back his own. To this end, the Devil lends him an evil, traveling carnival, a la <a href="http://amazon.com/Something-Wicked-This-Way-Comes/dp/0380977273/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1333309918&sr=1-1">Something Wicked This Way Comes</a>.<br />
<br />
In <u>Detective</u>, Cabal is escaping a death sentence in a foreign land by disguising himself as a government official and catching a ride on the last aeroship out of a county descending into civil war. Unfortunately, he finds himself on board with a murderer.<br />
<br />
Both books were lots of fun. I'm looking forward to reading the third book in the series: <a href="http://amazon.com/Johannes-Cabal-Fear-Institute/dp/0755348001/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1333307276&sr=1-2">Johannes Cabal: The Fear Institute</a>.Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02450127763739682938noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8433990.post-57577078598386750192012-03-10T17:39:00.000-05:002012-03-10T17:39:04.212-05:00Celebrity Feminists Embrace the StereotypeIt's like an Onion satire of a humorless, feminist scold... but it's <a href="http://cnn.com/2012/03/10/opinion/fonda-morgan-steinem-limbaugh/index.html">real</a>. <br />

My rating: <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/280508598">4 of 5 stars</a><br />
<br />
Reid Hoffman is the co-founder of LinkedIn, so I thought this book might just be an extended commercial, but, in fact, it was quite useful. It helps the reader understand what a network is, how to build one and how to use it in a non-creepy, mutually beneficial way.

We'd need at least 23 Romneys taxed at 100% just to pay off that bad loan we made to Solyndra. <br />
<br />
I'm generally against higher taxes, but somehow...... I thought there'd be more. It still surprises me every time I see how little money is available to pay off our enormous debt.<br />

A planned trip to the McClung Museum was thwarted by an unforeseen sporting event which made parking impossible. I thought football season was over, so we'd be safe. UT's homepage noted nothing of interest. What's a girl to do?Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02450127763739682938noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8433990.post-32516644767987651242011-12-19T13:49:00.000-05:002012-01-17T09:52:56.607-05:00Christmas Trains UpdatedOur family loves garden trains, so I was very excited to discover <a href="http://utgardens.tennessee.edu/">The Holiday Express</a> garden train display at the UT Gardens. Hopefully, we will be checking it out this weekend. Hours and rates at the link.<br />
<br />
Update: Yes, the garden trains were lots of fun. They had a number of different trains running on various loops, including a Thomas the Tank Engine train, a UT train, a John Deere train and, even an aquarium train with actual fish. For an aerial view, there is a raised bridge in the middle of the display.<br />
<br />
The display runs daily, noon to 6:00, until Dec. 29th.<br />

If it's a nice day, you're free to walk the grounds of the UT gardens. The grounds have lots of fun sculpture and interesting little paths to walk down. Great for kids. Do note: that is Neyland Dr. in the middle ground, so the gardens, while lovely, are not very peaceful. <br />

<br />
<strong>Shoot:</strong> <span class="caps">ASAP</span> – 2015 [Or longer, as yet undetermined.]<br />
<strong><span class="caps">DESCRIPTION</span>:</strong> <span class="caps">FRIEND</span> will be funny, smart, good-looking but not too good-looking, free on weekends for hanging out and sometimes Wednesdays after work.<br />
<strong>Must like:</strong> Thai food, <em>Dr. Who</em>, brunch. <br />
<strong>Must read:</strong> Tumblr, so he can tell me about up-to-date internet memes and we can laugh at them.<br />
<strong><span class="caps">FILMING</span>:</strong> All filming will be done clandestinely so you will never actually see the camera. We will just hang out like friends and do things like go to the movies or watch <em>How I Met Your Mother</em>—but we’ll never tell people we actually watch that show and it will be a funny secret we have. Don’t worry, though; the web series is real, I promise. Maybe think of it more like guerilla theater. Just keep in mind that the footage may be deleted if it isn’t perfect, so that’s why you may never see it, OK?Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02450127763739682938noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8433990.post-9425686503392311572011-09-21T09:32:00.000-04:002011-09-21T09:32:57.849-04:00Really, Kansas City?

<br />
Why did Wyatt French build a lighthouse in the middle of the Kentucky woods? After his death, a small-town sheriff's deputy and a local newspaper reporter begin to suspect he wasn't just a crazy old drunk, but was, in fact, one of the few people who knew the secret of Blade Ridge.<br />

If he did show up, it was on 30 minutes notice. So now, he's coming home for dinner <em>every</em> night. Suddenly, I need to cook. Having a repertoire of four meals just doesn't cut it when you need dinner 7 nights a week. So, I've been trying a lot of new recipes. The results have mostly been "meh" and have occasionally been "well, who's up for pizza?" <br />
<br />
But here is one that rocked. <a href="http://100daysofrealfood.com/2011/08/01/recipe-pork-carnitas-tacos-with-tomatillo-salsa">Pork Carnitas Tacos</a>, made in the crock pot with a Boston butt roast and a few spices. So yummy. Kroger only had a roast much larger than the one called for in the recipe, but I just cooked it all and ended up freezing enough for 2 more meals. Yay!<br />
<br />
By the way, I did not make the salsa from scratch. I just bought a jar.Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02450127763739682938noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8433990.post-38015642296418001312011-08-16T17:41:00.002-04:002011-08-19T11:32:07.573-04:00Mrs. Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children<iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=fro07-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=1594744769&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="align: left; height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe>Even though <em><strong>Mrs. Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children</strong></em> is classified as young adult, I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's part mysterious ghost story and part coming-of-age adventure tale. Jacob is nearly 16 when his grandfather dies violently. His last cryptic words send Jacob to an island off the coast of Wales where his grandfather, as a child, had taken refuge from WWII. <br />
<br />
Old photos, meant to be the ones Jacob's grandfather showed him, are included throughout, adding to the creepy atmosphere of the story. The clues are laid out and secrets are slowly revealed as Jacob unravels the mystery of his grandfather's youth, discovering in the process that his grandfather's grisly fate could also be his own.<br />
<br />
There are a few violent deaths that might make this inappropriate for younger children, but the gore isn't excessive. It should be fine for junior high and up.Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02450127763739682938noreply@blogger.com1
