Hey, Shorty! It's you birthday!

Yes, lovelies. Tetris turns 25 in mere minutes!!! Shopgirlove was a little surprised at just how growed up this favorite game is...

Umbrella-ella

Shopgirloves is a true believer in protecting oneself from the elements. That naughty sun can take quite a toll on a delicate dermis. There are corrective measures, but these should be used judiciously! She was very glad, therefore, to see that security forces in Tiananmen Square were so vigilant on the anniversary of the 1989 protest. Now, if only they could learn to sheild themselves and not the cameras....

Little Grasshopper is dead

Update: Perhaps it was not by his own hand...

David Carridine is dead by his own hand. Shopgirlove is on a Kung fu odyssey on youtube:

Greed

Shopgirlove is really tired of landlords who think that they should get more. As she doesn't have much of the filthy lucre, she ends up in apartments with few, if any, amenities, in bad neighborhoods, and with laughable maintenance. Things leak, fall apart, there are no services nearby; yet the landlord hears about the guy next door who just rented a unit for twice as much and the $ replaces every ounce of humanity. Never mind that the other unit was professionally rehabbed, includes all utilities, or that there is a laundry and dishwasher. Shopgirlove is seriously considering the hobo life. At least that way you get to spend your money on yourself.

Look at these my child-bearing hips

Shopgirlove needed a laugh

NEVER, ever, ever, ever ignore a dog.

In memoriam

Here is a list of vigils around the country to remember Dr. George Tiller and honor the service he and his amazing staff provided to families.
