Hey, the weekend got away from me, so I’ll be back this week with ANOTHER book review and give-away (p.s., you still have until tomorrow night to sign up for a chance to win Bedtime Stories), and a new random drawing. It may require you to think — or not. I don’t want to think [...]

You know, watching Rock of Love has made me a bit nostalgic these last few weeks. I mean kissing Bret Michaels after he’s swabbed his groupies’ mouths out with his tongue is about appealing to me as, I don’t know, say, my getting swabbed for a culture of the throat or vagina.
