Yes, I said it. And so should you. Check this out.

Ode to my publisher reps

There are two things in life about which I am absolutely 100% lacking in willpower. Books (which you may have guessed) and bread.I know the bread one is kind of odd, but I'm currently not eating any starch (okay, I'm currently trying not to eat any starch) and all I can do is crave those … Continue reading Ode to my publisher reps

The Linguists

Are you ready for this? I think my high school AP English teacher just got an academic hard-on of some kind. I know, gross and graphic, but really, wait til you read this. Then you might too. I know I did.Documentary: The LinguistsYes! Just what every kid dreams of! Okay, just every kid who had … Continue reading The Linguists

Alice is my Wonderland, addendum

How could I have made this oversight in my previous Ode to Alice post?I completely forgot to mention (amateur movie buff that I am) that Tim Burton is making a live-action, freakishly fantastic (I'm assuming) version of Alice in Wonderland!The movie is starring non-other than everyone's favorite Johnny Depp (seriously, swoon) and a personal favorite … Continue reading Alice is my Wonderland, addendum

Punctuation in the News

Thanks, again, to my blog readers who supply me with relevant and witty things to blog about. Particular thanks to Dresses in Fleece for the inspiration behind this blog post.(Okay, maybe not witty. Maybe just relevant.)I was emailed this article that ran in the NY Times over a year ago. That may have been long … Continue reading Punctuation in the News

Catchy Books I’ll Never Read

Today's post is a tribute to all those books out there with great covers and/or funny/interesting/catchy-sounding titles which I may or may not pick up but which I will certainly never read. In case they seem like something one of you all might be interested in, I thought I would list some of my favorites … Continue reading Catchy Books I’ll Never Read

Alice is my Wonderland

A random piece of Rebecca-trivia: my all-time favorite children's book would not make it on my top 5 desert island picks list. Weird, huh? Here's the thing - I LOVE Alice in Wonderland. I think it's brilliant, genius, funny, witty, really weird, doesn't make much sense, and should never be read all the way through … Continue reading Alice is my Wonderland

Happy (belated) National Grammar Day

Spending a quiet evening at home by myself tonight. It's funny how I can simultaneously breath easier and also feel just a tiny bit lonely at the same time. Does everyone feel that way when they're alone? I just finished a delish dinner - stir fry with chicken, mushrooms, orange pepper, red pepper, snap peas, … Continue reading Happy (belated) National Grammar Day

Tis the season for sugarin’

Today, I started my day in one of the best ways humanly (and seasonally) possible.No, not that way. This is a PG- (okay, PG-13) rated blog, thank you.I, along with 5 of my close friends, went to opening day at Steve's Sugar Shack.That's right, it's maple sugar season!One blueberry pancake, 2 strips of bacon, two … Continue reading Tis the season for sugarin’

Typset (and tattoos)

In an earlier post, I previously gushed about my love of typography and my love of tattoos, both of which I need to learn more about.Then in my friend Sarah's store, Boswell's Books in Shelburne Falls, MA, I came across a book which in turn led me to this (-->) book and now my life … Continue reading Typset (and tattoos)
