Vacation from the Blogosphere

I didn't have a proper summer vacation and now autumn is upon us. Happily, living in sunny L.A. means an endless summer is almost possible. But I'm taking a summer vacation from some things, including this blog. Back next week...

Mid-Day Stretch: That's What She Said

Can't wait for the return of "The Office."

Vote for (Another) Palin

Funny or Die has a video promoting a different Palin for President: Michael Palin from "Monty Python." A girl can dream, right?

High Cost of Fuel? No Problem!

Good news from my spam folder: We no longer have to worry about fuel prices. Check out this catchy subject line: "Cool new thing - just discovered it myself. Water as Fuel." Who needs a hybrid when you can fill up on water?

But, wait, it gets better. I also had a message with this as the subject: "Orgies discovered in Hollywood. Find out how to save hundreds monthly on your gas." See, for every problem there is a solution.

Good Cause!

My lovely and amazing friend WendyB (I posted about her here) is having an auction on her blog to benefit a fellow blogger who was seriously injured in a plane crash. The necklace pictured is up for auction; it's gorgeous and for a good cause (the best possible combination). You can also click on the "Donate to NieNie" link on Wendy's site to make donations.
