I am off for the day today from work! I am hoping to have a productive day by catching up on writing the novel.  I have about 15k words to go to finish, so this particular poster above represents how I’m feeling right now. (in case you can’t tell, I’ve been playing around with Photoshop.)

Here are the links for today:

Really interesting blog posts:

Dating Other Couples from Modite

Dmitry Medvedev has a Facebook page. Of course I friended him.  from LaRussophobe

Really interesting stories:
