Busman’s Honeymoon by Dorothy Sayers
Early 20th Century, English, mystery novels, written by women, is one of my favorite genres of fiction. And this particular book, Busman’s Honeymoon, is one of my favorites.
But if you are going to go read Dorothy Sayers, don’t start with this book. You’ll enjoy it far more if you already know Lord Peter Wimsey […]

Ack! Musical Debut is Sooner than I Thought!
I had the date wrong!
I’ll be making my musical debut on Saturday MAY 7, not May 14.
You’re all still invited.
I have no idea when I’m going to rehearse, not to mention finish the rest of my homework.

The Armchair Millionaire
It isn’t a bad financial advice book, but the content has been said before:
Save a little bit every month, even if you can’t afford to save much.

My Search History
Because this blog is really about my personal opinions and life, I haven’t gotten into too many work-related posts.

Geek Amusements
The nice people over at ThinkGeek always make me smile.
Today, the item I most covet is the 42 Work Shirt, the offical uniform of the intergalactic traveller.

Yankee v Dixie
Here’s the quiz: http://mywebpages.comcast.net/lgrob/southern_dialect_quiz.htm
I can’t explain my love for silly internet quizzes. I just can’t.
