To the left: I'm love love loving those shelves/drawers to the left of the bed. As always, Apartment Therapy doesn't disappoint.Big news: "When immigrants face possible deportation, they don't have the right to a state-appointed attorney.

The next round of albums to get the 33 1/3 treatment! But first, pick up the new release, Flying Burrito Brothers' the Gilded Palace of Sin, by the handsome and talented Bob Proehl (why doncha buy two copies while you're at it?)
A site that's helping me start the new year (I do love new beginnings) with a good attitude...and many reminders to slow down - Zen Habits.
Obama tries to backpedal/please 'em all....Towelroad: "Gay Bishop Gene Robinson to Deliver Invocation at Inaugural Opening." I'm still pissed about Rick Warren, nice try though. Politico reports: "The Rt. Rev. V. Gene Robinson of New Hampshire, who became the Episcopal Church’s first openly gay bishop in 2003 and last year entered into a civil union with his gay partner, will deliver the invocation for Sunday’s kickoff inaugural event on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, with President-elect Obama in attendance. The event is free and open to the public. An Obama source: 'Robinson was in the plans before the complaints about Rick Warren. Many skeptics will read this as a direct reaction to the Warren criticism – but it’s just not so.' Robinson has been referred to as 'the most controversial Christian in the world.'"
