Anyone know a veteran who has tried yoga,...
It’s for a story on PSTD treatment for veterans for an alternative weekly publication in Omaha, Neb., and after several months of searching, I’m coming up pretty much empty. I don’t care where they live, what war they fought in, what division they were in. The soldier can talk anonymously if he or she prefers.
“Ask” me for contact info if you think you might know...

Cat-sitting
for andrewlamberson. One cat, Ollie, is huge and fluffy and really really old. The other, Marley, is just a cranky snot — he more or less constantly hisses at me when I’m over. But they’re sure happy to get their food, and it’s always fun to be around new cats.

lazybookreviews:
Well, YES, obviously. What is it with the Welsh? Why are their mythic traditions so awesome, but their words so overstuffed with vowels?
No, these are totally awesome.
OH SHIT, HE DIED IN 2007! That’s actually going to harsh my mellow this evening, because I was all up…
I love Lloyd Alexander. I’ve read like every book he’s ever written … I think I...

Spindle Records’ door sticks, and it squeaks when it swings.
It squeals while I talk with owner Nick Fitch on Friday, Dec. 10 — even 45 minutes after the store usually closes. Customers dive into and cart off huge stacks of vinyl, or rifle through racks of CDs and DVDs, taking advantage…
I used to sell CDs here in school when I was hard up for cash … it’s...

New tumblr you should all follow
My friend and new roomie Lauren has started her very first tumblr: http://laurenispanada.tumblr.com. She likes to do TFLNCs: Text From Last Night Challenges, where she grabs a submission from the eponymous website and tries to recreate it — like covering a blindfolded friend with frosting in a kiddie pool, or drunkenly making four cheese mashed potatoes from a box.
She’s pretty...

Streaming from now til 3 p.m. CST at http://kzum.org — I have a guest from Friendship Home, a domestic violence shelter in Lincoln, NE, and we’re playing music by women that addresses these issues.
