Gob-smacked and smitten by apps

I'm re-posting this from a few weeks ago.

There's still time to make me a millionaire! Please sign up by Friday -- I signed up and receive notices about some really cool apps. It's a great way to make one's way through the chaos that is the internet and apps.

Here's the RE-POST!

I posted the great Dorothy Parker's quote the other day:

Well, as you might guess from the looks of the blog, I have a few ads running here and there and I get the chance every now and then to plug some product or something or other that I actually like. Right now through BlogHer, I'm participating as an affiliate with a company called appSmitten which hand-selects the best apps out there for your iPhone, Android or iPad and sends you a newsletter with the recommendations directly to your inbox. I believe that finding good apps is sort of like finding a needle in a haystack (to use a trite expression), and I have to say that I'm impressed by this company and look forward to seeing what they're going to find for me. You can customize how you receive the recommendations, so you're not bombarded with information night and day. They even have recommendations for kids.

The best part about this?

If you sign up for the newsletter right HERE, I get compensated for it. That's right. I get $1 per new subscriber.

If a million of you subscribe, then you just know, I'll be the most darling person on the internet.

On my way to being darling and appSmitten

Dorothy Parker and More Sex but No Politics

I've posted this poem before, but it's one of my favorites so I'm going to post it again -- the perfect pick-me-up after picking up my Sophie from yet another seizure and trying my best to look on the bright side. This is how we do it, folks. I particularly like the last line.


Success Story
My clothes are perfectly contoured
to my body. my shoes & socks
fit just right. My cat is a delightful
intelligent animal. My apartment
is great. The right location,
cheap rent. I eat the best food.
My friends love me. I adore them.
My lover is terrific & beautiful.
The sun is shining. There are trees
even in the slums in Washington.
I have tons of money & a gorgeous 
air conditioner. Great art hangs
on my wall. I live a spine-tingling life
of delirious sex & intense happiness.
