Life's a roadtrip: Pay attention to the signs.

Finding out a musician I just started getting into wrote a lot of the trashy pop songs I love

A week of sunshine when every forecaster saw rain


Blogging to pay the bills


Meeting a man who loves cookies as much as I do

May everyone be as blessed with happy accidents as I have been.

Movie Clip Monday!

I've been in a Tank Girl mood for a good few months now, so I thought what better way to start off the week than with this clip? Lori Petty, you rock my world!

Oh, and I'm wearing gray kneehighs over fishnet stockings for the occasion.

Maybe the Me Generation was right all along

While watching Julie and Julia (an excellent movie if you're thinking about renting it--Nora Ephron=genius.) the other day, someone posed a question to me: Are all successful people selfish?

My immediate answer: Yes.

I think selfishness has gotten a bad wrap. Even Merriam-Webster is out to get it! Perhaps I should submit an addendum to the definition, because I believe that selfishness is an integral part of mental health.

In order to be selfless, one has to be selfish. I can't save you from drowning if I don't know how to swim. My cooking skills suffer when I'm dying of starvation. In order for me to help you, I must first help myself.

I know that there are plenty of acts of selfishness that hurt people and destroy lives. I just think that some acts of selfishness are necessary and good as long as they don't harm others.
