Independent Minded Womenz Why men* love thongs and hate Jane Austen? Now I know I promised an answer to this almost universal truth and mind bender weeks ago. Sorry. I had to do some research and then I discovered it’s a long answer. Again, sorry. While quizzing males I got a variety of answers from “Because thongs are just awesome.” to “’Cause men are already romantic and shit so we don’t need Jane Austen.” So I averaged the difference, carried the one and found the closest possible...

Sara and I with Trevor Project Survival Kits “Suicide is the third leading cause of death among 15 to 24 year olds.” Downer opening but, let’s face it, 15-24 is rough.

You want to experiment with stuff, learn what you are and are not capable of, but you’re still under the watchful eye of the ever present parentals. And then there are your... [Read more]
Dirty Kitty From Episode 64 Grows Up & Becomes "Chrissy" Back in April, I had a dirty, starving kitten in a Frito Lays box shoved into my arms.

I love all animals, but I... [Read more]

Welcome to the first in a new series of blogs I would like to call TheGoodMuse Explains. We will cover Volunteering Questions as well as Life Mess… My friends found out (because I complained loudly to everyone) that I had jury service and so the question this week is: Q: Why not write the jury service up as a Volunteer Journal? A: Any activity in which you participate only to avoid jail time or a $1,500 fine does not count as volunteering. The problem is the word volunteer which is defined... [Read more]
The cost of a unit of solar energy appears to be following Moore’s Law with solar costs dropping exponentially from $22 a watt in 1980 to $1.40 a watt today. But this positive price development for the consumer could prove to be a temporary set back for the solar industry. Moore’s Law, originally written to explain the advancement of computing hardware, predicts that the efficiency of technology in relation to price will double about every two years. If solar tech continues it’s current pattern... [Read more]
