Lollygaggering: May 2006

Friday, May 12, 2006. Daddy Done Did It. On the subway today, we had a very jazzy announcer. There have been some service changes lately on the A/C and B/D lines, which all four run the same route from 59th to 145th, with the A and D usually making express stops. Anyway, these days the C has been running express to 145th. So I got on the uptown C train at 14th Street and the guy says over the speaker that if we want to go to 145th Street, we have to "GET ON THIS TRAIN! Posted by Lollygagger @ 8:08 PM.

Lollygaggering: November 2006
http://lollygaggering.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 16, 2006. A couple of weeks ago I was babysitting at a hotel. (I babysit now. This is how I am staving off absolute poverty). This family who used to be a client of the babysitting agency I work through was in town and needed someone to watch their kids. To arrive from out of town). At any rate, she starts talking about how she's a doctor and thus always gives toys to children, and she lives just "right there" (where! This is a halfway decent hotel! Don't maids wear uniforms? Four year...

Lolly Spot: March 2009

Musings about politics, movies, music, art and all the other important things in life. Monday, March 2, 2009. When people have children, they force their unsuspecting (single) friends to watch countless hours of video of their obviously fabulous offspring and sit through endless scrapbooks highlighting their amazing antics. Since I have no children, I've never been able to reciprocate. My new digital camera changes this. I have managed to create a very short video of my roommate, Brontë.

Lolly Spot: August 2009

Musings about politics, movies, music, art and all the other important things in life. Monday, August 3, 2009. One of the first posts. I made on this blog was about the Amazon Kindle - the ebook reader that purports to let you carry an entire library in a hand-held computer. While I love my technology, the whole idea of the Kindle makes my eyes hurt. Now comes news that shows my initial abhorence was spot on. The Orwell incident (ironic, isn't it? So what happens when your Kindle account is taken away?

Musings about politics, movies, music, art and all the other important things in life. Monday, May 11, 2009. Yesterday I got together with my. Parents for Mother's Day, like a dutiful daughter. Amazingly, the topic turned to. torture. Sounds strange on a day when you're supposed to be celebrating Mom, but in our family, discussions often turn to politics, religion and other taboo subjects. What happened in many of the cases outlined in the memos. That this is not true. My discussion with the parental uni...

Lolly Spot: Voting Rights
http://lollyspot.blogspot.com/2010/08/voting-rights.html
Musings about politics, movies, music, art and all the other important things in life. Thursday, August 26, 2010. I'm not the only one. Many, many women take the right to vote for granted. It may be lack of interest, but I hope you know the history of women's suffrage in this country. Drawing depicts a hunger strike; from. Given what these women endured just to earn the right to vote, we should pay them the respect of exercising that right. Do you know a woman who isn't registered to vote? You can do it.

Musings about politics, movies, music, art and all the other important things in life. Friday, November 14, 2008. I remember the first time I was embarrassed about being smart. I was in Junior High (of course) and a close friend told me I sounded like I'd swallowed a dictionary. It probably wouldn't have stung, except that the comment came from a friend. I have to admit, it's the ubiquitous backpacks that clue me to the true nerdiness of these boys - not the "Robot Dace." Although, let's be honest: w...

Lolly Spot: Time Travel and Other Scary Stuff
http://lollyspot.blogspot.com/2010/09/time-travel-and-other-scary-stuff.html
Musings about politics, movies, music, art and all the other important things in life. Thursday, September 30, 2010. Time Travel and Other Scary Stuff. I did complete several projects, but somehow during the day, I managed to lose three hours of time. I felt like I was getting a lot accomplished, but I looked at the clock on my computer at about mid-afternoon (or so I thought) and it was actually 4:57. That means it can only get worse from here on out. October 2, 2010 at 10:46 AM. Musings about politics,...
