Penelope Trunk astounds everyone with the revelation that fat people are discriminated against in the workplace, and unveils her ingenious solution, which basically translates to “lose weight, you lazy fucks.” One too many pieces of sensationalist crap for my taste - I’ve unsubscribed from her RSS feed.

I am moving around like an old woman today. Not only do my thighs, chest and right elbow feel like someone has been smashing them with hammers (I got a little enthusiastic in a Body Pump class, and then didn’t want to make my weights lighter and look like a wuss, because I am [...]
It’s strange how easy it is to get out of the habit of regular blogging. A week off over Christmas, and I feel as if I have lost the knack of it.
Getting back into the rhythm of work hasn’t been too difficult. Prince Valiant is still on holidays, and it is [...]
As you may have noticed, I’ve done a little spring cleaning and redesigned the blog. I was inspired after reading a few entries at More Minimal, and decided that a cleaner, less cluttered blog made for a more reader-friendly experience. “You don’t have to have everything on the front page”, I told myself [...]
As a little addendum to my links post a few days ago, I’d like to refer to a couple of posts from the archives of another blog that I’ve been devouring - Dry Bones Dance. Christy’s writing is full of wisdom and grace, and a ridiculous number of her entries have made me stop [...]
Writing as Jo(e) is a lovely and deservedly popular blog that I’ve just discovered. Her account of a trip to the mountains with her women friends make me want a similar experience, as does this entry about her regular trips to a monastery .

After some trepidation, I switched over to Blogger Beta yesterday, and this is the Dummy Blogger Who Has Never Used Any Other Host But Blogger viewpoint of the changes they’ve made (there are lots of other people out there talking about completely incomprehensible [...]
I like doing these blogs-I’ve-been-reading posts occasionally, because I’m always stumbling across really fabulous blogs that I want to share with people. All the blogs below are ones I’ve come across in the last few months, and they’ve caused me to alternately laugh, cry and gape in wonder, wishing that I could write like [...]
One of my favourite bloggers, Granny Got a Vibrator, seems to have disappeared. After a cancer diagnosis a couple of days ago, and a very sad entry I read on my RSS feed, her blog is gone. I hope she’s OK. Anyone heard anything?
Edited: Thanks to Schmutzie, I was pointed towards an entry on [...]
I am intrigued about this Blogger Beta business, but as yet have not been enticed to switch over - I figure I’ll wait until they iron out a few more of the bugs first. But it looks like fun. Labels! I’ve always wanted to be able to label posts.
