THE LADIES’ ROOM: The Great Equalizer
For women, anyway. I’m pretty sure it’s not like that in the men’s room. Partly because they don’t need that kind of equalizer. Young girls especially are very competitive in the outside world. That’s especially true at clubs and bars. Girls do not help each other out that much. There are only just so many guys that are keepers, right? But for some reason, all that changes in the ladies’ room.
While vs Wile
While vs Wile. This is one I didn’t even think of until I came across the wrong one being used. This guy said not to while away the time. Nope. It’s wile, in that case.
"Switched On" by John Robison
The subtitle of this book is: A Memoir of Brain Change and Emotional Awakening. Author John Robison has a very mild form of autism known as Asperger Syndrome. Like all Aspies, Mr. Robison has all the emotions everyone else has, but didn’t express them the way other people do.
The Great Equalizer: The Ladies Room
It’s true. Young girls especially are very competitive in the outside world, particularly at clubs and bars. Girls do not help each other out that much. But for some reason, all that changes in the ladies room. Within its confines is a co-operative where everyone helps everyone else, wanting only the best for them. I have walked into a ladies’ room and walked out looking entirely different because I asked if anyone had a comb. This is true, I am not exaggerating. People commented on it.
"Sacred Journey of the Peaceful Warrior" by Dan Millman
In his college days in UC Berekely, Dan Millman met a sage in the guise of a service station mechanic. Socrates, as he dubbed him – for the man would never tell him his name – led Dan on an incredible voyage of self-discovery. If you have any interest in that sort of thing, Mr. Millman’s book about the experience, The Way of the Peaceful Warrior, is a must-read I reviewed it here about six weeks ago.
New Face on an Old Demon: The AltRight
Okay, it’s a clumsy Photoshopping job, but stay with me. I like to use my blog to talk about good stuff. A lot of people only speak up about what they don’t like. I like to use this space to edify and make people happy. But this frightens me so much, I feel a need to make sure others at least know about it.
"The Postcard Killers," by James Patterson & Liza Marklund
The Postcard Killers starts with a premise I’ve seen in a lot of cop shows: A brazen serial killer send photos of his latest murder with the “twist” that they are posed like famous works of art. But there are always of two victims. Fitting, I suppose, since this particular serial killer is two people, which we know from the start. And the globe-hopping killer announce their intention to kill again via a postcard,
"Way of the Peaceful Warrior" by Dan Millman
Way of the Peaceful Warrior didn’t have a subtitle when it was first published. But so many people told Mr. Millman stories of how strongly it influenced their lives that the publisher added, A Book that Changes Lives.
"The Unimaginable" by Dina Silver
This is one of those “Oh, please!” stories. It’s just too unlikely. You know, the kind where everything falls into place so neatly, where the best possible option just happens to be the only option available. It was annoying.
