Welcome to Word Porn! Time to indulge that geeky love of words that you try your hardest to forget, that all consuming desire for the feel of a new word on your tongue, that yearning and burning for the stimulation only a delightful mix of syllables can provide…

Hello all, and happy Friday! It’s the end of another productive, fun-filled, aggravating, enjoyable, hair-pulling-out week. Time to remove the thin veil of objectivity that I maintain during most of my weekly posts, and let ‘er rip in a rant.

Hello world! A quick and dirty post for all you avid QRW readers today, as momma has some looming deadlines for the end of the day. Gots to pay those bills.
Mondays are our creative kick in the arse. And this Monday is special - they announced the official lineup for Lolla 08 today. Since […]

Friday is a time to wind down and reflect on a good week. But it’s also a time to get a little huffy. It’s rant time.
