FEATURED BLOGGERS

Landscape in a Glass Jar by rogeire
Fluid rather than liquid, food more willingly than drink, this miracle confection carries less than a fifth of its volume as water. A golden adamantine lustre radiates from the clear viscous preserve that distinguishes it as honey.

Rethinking Grandma and Grandpa... by McKai
If you think that 70 or 80 is too old to rock n roll, think again. This funny, little quirky documentary, is witty and well done. The folks that sing will knock your socks off. Expect HAIR.....not on their heads, necessarily....expect electric guitar, not bajo or blues.'s

The Wedding... Part One by Larissa
I can't believe after not sleeping for so long that I actually got up with my alarm at 6 a.m. on Saturday morning. I was hazy, but still wide awake. I got myself together, showered, etc, did my makeup, and waited for my hairdresser, who was 20 minutes late.
