Black velvet (vs. orange plastic)

I had a pure spiritual moment today.  This doesn’t exactly surprise me, as it is Samhain after all, the velvety night when the veil between This and Other worlds is thinnest and the energy runs thick.  Feeling the urge to sing in Spanish along with songs in my Latin American alt/rock collection, I thought “Madera” … More Black velvet (vs. orange plastic)

Putting the ‘end’ back in ‘unfriend’

I somehow feel compelled to drop what I’m doing at the office and vent.

The case against Naturopathy (in non-licensed states)

Before I launch into this, I need to make a few things clear. First, I’m not one of the lunatics that runs Quackwatch, coming out against everything non-pharmaceutical, claiming anything but drugs or surgery to be a scam (if anything, drugs and surgery are also a scam of sorts in their own ways; they do … More The case against Naturopathy (in non-licensed states)
