You know how sometimes something can be sad and exciting at the same time? Yesterday was one of those times for me. Thanksgiving 2009 marked an end to my meat-eating days. At least until Christmas.
Yup. I’m going vegetarian. Or trying it out anyway. Between Thanksgiving and Christmas, I’m not going to eat beef, poultry, pork or seafood. Venison, small game, rodents and road kill are also off the menu. I’m allowing myself eggs and dairy.
Or at least in terms of web links it is. Question: if blog is short for web log, can I use blinks for a collection of web links? Would it catch on? Can I be the next Al Gore?
Never mind.
Taking a break from cat posts and book reviews, here’s the sites and stories that have caught my eye in June.

I had grand plans for Guinness cupcakes or something like that, but ran out of time. So I created Pots O’Gold.
My attention has been on the insanity of writing a novel in 30 days so I haven’t blogged lately.

It’s only the 12th of October and this month has already brought me the two worst things I have ever tasted.
First up is a new flavor from Hershey’s for the Kiss candy. I was fine with Hershey’s adding almonds to the Kiss. Or making it in dark chocolate. Or swirling it with white chocolate and calling it a Hug. Those made sense to me. Then Hershey’s went off the rails. Kisses were suddenly filled with caramel, peanut butter, chocolate truffle and cherry cordial goo. It was okay – I just avoided them.
Then this showed up on the wet bar at work (the place where all unwanted, leftover food goes to a better home).
