    February Reading Challenge: Anna Karenina

    March 4, 2016 /

    My desire to get through this Leo Tolstoy creation is red hot; unfortunately my success with doing so is as non-existent as a flame in an outdoor fireplace buried under four feet of snow. I have tried reading this novel over and over and over again, and while I did get further this month than I have during previous attempts, I still could not get through the seven hundred and fifty four pages of this particular edition. Why oh why can I not get through it? Before talking about why my need to read this novel is so intense, I need to tell you that this Reading Challenge conclusion is…

    Word? Image? Phrase? Pictograph – of the Year

    November 17, 2015 /

The “Face with Tears of Joy” emoji is one I have used in texts and on social media, and I have to admit I respect the reasoning behind choosing an emoji, and this emoji in particular, for the Word of the Year: because it is “the ‘word’ that best reflect[s] the ethos, mood, and preoccupations of 2015” based on statistical evidence that shows it is the most internationally used emoji.

    Happy Birthday Choice Words!

    October 23, 2015 /

    One year ago today I debuted my Choice Words feature (on my original blog domain). Here is the sass I chose to start it off with:   *This post originally appeared on October 23rd, 2014 I was scrolling through tumblr, and I found a picture with the words “Stop correcting my grammar, this isn’t English class.” I would post it, but the image behind the text isn’t something I want on my blog, and it’s not the actual post I want to discuss anyway. You don’t want your grammar (or spelling, punctuation, etc.) corrected because we aren’t inside a school or classroom? Girl/boy, please. Yes, I understand you may find it…
