Mr. Clean, DIRTY!!
This is your roving reporter Anne O. Nimity – Yes, my parents wanted a girl. Get over it and move on. I’m down at the police station where I have just been speaking with Officer McGruff. Having recently heard of the untimely demise of the Pillsbury Doughboy - which sad event is still under investigation - I asked for a statement. The overcoat bedecked K-9 Officer was quoted as saying… “Don’t you worry, we’ll take a bite out of crime!” In any case, in my own ongoing investigations I have uncovered facts leading me to make this special news report tonight which I have titled:

Remote work is becoming more and more popular. Many professionals indicate in their resumes “Remote only”, and HR is sympathetic to such candidates. Everyone talks about the pros of working from home, but no one talks about the disadvantages. But there are. And I want to tell you about them.

The Enduring Legacy of 'Fear and Loathing: On the Campaign Trail '72'
It's a little past midnight and I am sitting alone in my new apartment. Two weeks have passed since the move here, and there's been plenty of time to get accustomed. The place is located at the back-end of a complex of four apartments; it only has one room and bathroom, with a small corridor leading to the kitchen, and it has a/c, which was a must in my book. The environment has been perfect to read and relax, the one thing that impossible for me to do in the place I used to live.

Don't Look Up - A Netflix Movie Review
I have some advice for you. If you don’t want the world to end then don’t look up. Crashlanding onto Netflix in 2021, Don’t Look Up follows two astronomers who discover that a deadly comet is hurtling towards the earth. Feverishly running to the president and all sorts of media, they are not taken seriously about the demise of the earth in six months.

Santa Claus: The Ultimate Totalitarian?. Top Story - December 2021.
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, the time of year when an old terror arises. There’s a lot of talk about fascism and even totalitarianism these days, but we often disregard the ultimate plot for world domination that takes over several countries for a month or even more each year.

Random Geekery
Food Geeks, or Foodies, is a subject close to my stomach. I once heard the saying, “Never trust a bald barber. They will have no respect for your hair.” I feel the same way about chefs and food lovers. A good chef is someone who is going to have at least a little girth around the waist, like Guy Fieri, because they love the taste of food and they are always trying new dishes. Same with a Foodie, how can a person love to taste and eat food, but look like a stick? A true Foodie and a good chef are going to have some roundness to them.

Fairytale Smairytale
When I was little, I loved to read. From Dr. Seuss to Maurice Sendak, it’s hard to pick which bedtime story or fairy tale meant the most. I loved how Sam liked his green eggs and ham. Were just the eggs green or the ham too (yuck)? What in the world would make eggs and ham green? These questions still boggle my adult mind. What would it have been like to be Mickey as he flew thru the night kitchen? Could I ever tame the Wild Things like Max controlled the them with his scary stare? How many times did I pretend to be scared of the monster at the end of the book, only to laugh that it was Grover every time?? I even laughed at Alexander, whose day was so bad, I was reminded just how good my life was! Alexander also taught me how not to chew gum at bedtime. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, read the book. If you are paying attention, you will learn how NOT to have a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad, day. This book and countless others have adventures and lessons to learn!
