juliaallison: It is hands down the whitest Christmas I’ve seen in the past decade. Wow. So much for global warming. I’m not usually a proponent for dressing your pets, but it seems to me that those animals need some sort of protective gear.

10 Reasons to be Antisocial →
inky: By bigcigars, via s0l and, ironically, a few hundred other people. There’s some excellent points in there. This is a good list. I’m thinking of becoming a hermit. Hey, it worked for JD Salinger.

Ms. Napolitano Goes to Washington →
This is not a huge surprise. The scuttlebutt in Arizona political circles has been that Gov. Napolitano would be called up to Washington ever since Obama was elected. Still, I’m going to miss her.

So, GenderAnalyzer was a bust, but I put my blog URL, as well as those of a couple friends, into Typealyzer and found it to be spot on. The analysis indicates that the author of http://lauraz.tumblr.com is of the type: ISTP - The Mechanics The independent and problem-solving type. They are especially attuned to the demands of the moment are masters of responding to challenges that arise...
