Going Down [MonieG's Review]

The book market must have some really stiff competition these days. What with rigid pricing and rock hard competition from the Internet. But you know, you can't lick the feeling of having a real, firm book in your hands (okay I'll stop). Please have a look at MonieG's review (from Reading With Monie) of the book Going Down (erected here in it's entirety): I've never been one of those girls that say "eeeww" when it comes to oral sex so I was super excited to read this book and it didn’t disappoi

Links & Pictures: a blogger's favorite literary devices

You guys, I love having a girl. Not just for the clothes. Molly is SO much more responsive than Jack ever was. I feel "bonded" to her in a way I didn't with Jack until he was a big boy and could actually do stuff. I put quotes around bonded because who knows what that means. But she coos and smiles and talks and follows you and IT IS SO FUN. I had to work so hard for Jack smiles, but Molly's easy. Is it a girl thing? I have no idea. Tomorrow morning I should have something up at Parenting

CSAC Threatens To Revoke Antonio Silva’s License If He Fights In Japan

It looks like Antonio Silva may want to reconsider his decision to fight in Japan for Sengoku on Jan. 4. Apparently, the CSAC is less than thrilled about Silva’s intention to violate his steroid suspension, and plans to do something about it if he does. And I’m not talking about a slap on the wrist either. How does a license revocation sound? Yeah, not too good, but according to new CSAC Assistant Executive Officer Bill Douglas that’s exactly what Silva could be looking at if he fights overse

808s and cynical corporate fiat

808s and cynical corporate fiat December 3rd, 2008 These TIs, man I tell you. As soon as you think they’ve run out of ways to ruin hip-hop, they find another one. Or have they? My latest suspicion is that they’ve issued some sort of order that producers are no longer allowed to work with samples. Or maybe they’ve placed a limit on the number of samples used per album, or the total amount of money they’re willing to spend on samples per album. This occurred to me yesterday while I was readin

Mates

I’d been going out with Matt for about three months. I’ve always found monogamy a bit of a challenge but when it came to satisfying my sexual needs Matt was doing pretty well. We’d met at a Salsa class – I love dancing – and we just kind of clicked the first time we danced together. We both enjoyed a busy social life, and still went dancing together twice a week. Matt liked going out with his mates and I liked my girl’s nights out but we made sure that we spent most weekends together, much of i

Cherry Bombshell: Kristen Stewart Cast as Joan Jett

Kristen, don’t take it as an insult if I say I don’t think you can rock as hard as Joan Jett. That’s because no one rocked like Joan Jett.

Dave M.’s Catco Panther

 Dave M. is back with another nice obscure OTS from his stable.  This is a Catco Panther, beyond that, I don’t know much (not a surprise).  Perhaps this Catco came from a now defunct auto parts or hardware store chain.  Catco the bike may be hard to find, but other Catcos are everywhere and comprised of all sectors, from the arts to automotive. CATCO Central Ohio’s only professional resident theatre company. CATCO Parts and Service: Serving the Heavy Duty Trucking Industry for over 50 years.
