You see, I actually have another blog, and that blog got some attention a while back from a little rag called the NY Times, and it's been keeping me busy. Not to mention that I started a new ... http://templeofsting.com/?p=85 "I think I'm going to write a humorous essay," I said to my husband recently. "What should I write about?" "Write about how everyone always wants to punch you in the head," he said. "What should I call it?" I asked him. "Call it 'Everyone always wants to punch ... http://templeofsting.com/?p=84 Since it's Fashion Week, I have a confession to make: I'm kind of a dressaholic. http://templeofsting.com/?p=83 Last night I happened to be watching David Letterman, and John Malkovich was a guest. Malkovich was actually really funny, and he told several stories about his family, including his daughter inviting scads of her teenage friends to his house in France.

And he is silently judging me. http://templeofsting.com/?p=80 I don't usually read a lot of glossy magazines, and I never read InStyle... but the exception to this rule occurs when I find a big old pile of magazines in my building's trash and recycling room. Then I will grab a pile, and happily look through a bunch of ... http://templeofsting.com/?p=79 Well, folks, apparently Sting and co. have gone ahead and retired the money making machine known as the Police. According to Stereogum, the Police reunion tour earned the aging rockers $358,825,665. Hey, Sting, have you considered donating some of that money to colony collapse disorder research? After all, without the ... http://templeofsting.com/?p=78 This weekend, there was a massive swarm of honeybees on the NJ Turnpike near Cherry Hill. It's believed that the bee onslaught was a result of a beekeeper's beehive falling beside the highway. In other not-really-news, this past weekend I briefly attended the Siren Festival in Coney Island,  where I caught ... http://templeofsting.com/?p=77 This video was posted by the Haagen-Dazs "Help the Honeybees"  campaign.
