Cool places

Just for fun, I thought I'd post some links to a place that I thought was really fun & cool when I was about eight years old or something like that.

New Year's Resolution

Make better use of your gifts. Everything is a gift. Those credit card bills: gifts. The student loan bills: gifts. Dental or vision? Gifts. The interest-free loan from Grandpa for the car and the Christmas check from Grandma: a gift! And, finally--the sound of those squirrels clawing their way around on the roof, chewing through wood, waking me up multiple times in the night, many nights, finally worth a hundred bucks off next months rent, harkening me back to a time when I lived elsewhere and listened to rats running around on the roof of a shack--priceless. I can hear them now. Gifts.

Also Ladies Against Feminism(?) website. (I must say, I don't get it. If they are against feminism, why would they even make a website?)

Kind of p-r-e-t-t-y music
