Today Poppy and I ran around doing errands in the afternoon. We exchanged a dress at the mall and after visiting the bank we raided the dollar store for more ice trays and a mop head. We found the ice trays but left the mop head, one thing to understand about the dollar store…if you’re [...]
I don't know about you, but the thought of being able to travel back in time absolutely thrills me. I keep telling Emily that if they–whoever they may be–come out with a time machine, I want one for my birthday. Will they come out with one? Well, the Wikipedia tells me it's possible, and as a previous coworker and friend of mine says, "if it's on the Internet, it must be true." Will to God that it is; but in the meantime, I've developed my own, private method of time travel. Some of you may be familiar with it while some may be very unfamiliar, but nonetheless I'm sure you all will agree that reading a book serves well the purpose of time-travel until Steve Jobs and the folks at Apple release the iTravel.
With what greater joy could I write to you than to tell you about three amazing freebies to be had here and right now? Hehe.

This news headline on the front page of the Wikipedia caught my attention: "An English translation of the Domesday Book, the 920-year-old census record of England under William the Conqueror, is presented online."
I've been reading a borrowed copy of The Da Vinci Code. Well, you
don't think I'd buy a copy and swell the author's coffers? The story
is pacey and keeps you turning the pages, but the theology is so
suspect. Not that one should ever be under the illusion that the book
is anything but fiction. The genre, style, literary techniques shout
out in every sentence that this is a contrived, self-conscious,
money-making work of, let's face it, "pulp" fiction. This is not to
deny that, in it's own way, it is "a good read". But we must not fall
into the trap of thinking that it is anything more than a "ripping"
yarn. Mixing fact and fiction to give credibility to both is a
well-known if disreputable technique. The Louvre museum exists. Jesus
married Mary Magdalene. Don't confuse the two. One is true, the other
false, well, at the best, supposition. The author is playing games,
Well, we now find ourselves in the middle of the month of May, and with an imminent update for Maustsontoast. This coming week is going to be full of fun, celebration and excitement. Emily starts her new job at HealthSouth (check out their webpage here). She will be a nurse technician working right beside nurses and doing their dirty work. And did I mention she gets to wear cute little scrubs like they do on E.R.? And while Emily is getting her nurse on at Health South, I will be… …delivering ice all over the state of West Virginia (and sometimes Maryland). This past week, I worked Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday; not a bad week at all. I get to drive this monstrous truck around town and throw ice into these cute little ice boxes at stores like Wal-Mart, Kroger, and gas stations and all kinds of little Mom an' Pop shops.
