Two words: Bacon Soap. Yes. It's really made from bacon. I'd say more but I'm surrounded by a pack of hungry dogs.7/20/09

No doubt about it: We live in trying times. Worldwide recession. Rampant foreclosures. Increasing unemployment. And every time I go to the grocery store the cereal boxes look smaller and their prices creep higher. It's getting so I'll have to start eating my dandelion greens for breakfast.Image via Wikipedia

Hmmm. I wonder if we are getting a bit uninspired?
The point is, we keep creating goddesses because we need to believe in them. Their temples may change, but their resonance does not.
Channel this goddess: when penny pinching leads to finger cramps; when your patience is as thread-bare as your ten-year-old sheets; when your only escape is a black any white celluloid beauty with moxie, spunk and great legs.
Christina: this goddess is for you.
Need a goddess: Tell me your desire, and I'll find the goddess to help you with it.

While dogs may have their own goddess (see previous post), it turns out that Daisy is right. Cats don't need a goddess because they are a bit omnipotent. Scientists have discovered that cats possess a heretofore unreported purr that has an almost impossible to ignore or resist hidden cry embedded into it, which is why you do all those crazy things you do for your cat. Read about it here, and then slowly back away from the dangerous kitty. Can't do it? See? You're totally sucked in already.7/13/09

Goddess of the Week: Aphrodite

Ah, love. What a messy business. It topples kings and governors. It inspires poems and pop songs and trips to Argentina. In its way, it is the great equalizer, for it is something to which we all aspire; it indiscriminately makes fools of high and low, rich and poor, male and female. Still, as Bridget Jones notes, it's better than dying alone and being eaten by an Alsatian.7/3/09
