Sorry, Boston. Have some cereal??? RT @epicurious "Boston, our hearts are with you. Here's a bowl of breakfast energy we could all use..."

Strangely, @epicurious have not supplied us with a recipe for the earthquake in Iran.

Sleet bouncing off your nose ... April in Paris has nothing on England in March.

I've got some #creepingsharia in my garden. Makes a good ground cover.

About to start reading Barbara Kingsolver's Flight Behavior. (Or rather the English edition: Flight Behaviour) Anyone read it?

@rhymeswithjen The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse: War, Famine, Pestilence, and Interminable Mandatory Friday Afternoon Meeting.

Just got spam with subject line: "Good News from the FBI!" I just don't think that's how the Bureau works.

Mostly for the US crowd: Just signed this petition to stop the Republican war on women: http://t.co/pyp4lJrj

You know, I wish the tone of today's International Women's Day discussions were more political and empowering, and less greeting card.

Unappreciation is not a word. I repeat: Unappreciation is not a word.
