...real tough cookie with a long history." Red-gloss lipsticked, black shades-wearing, teased hair-sporting, '80s Super Diva, "put up her dukes" and "let us get down to it" with her pain-rock. Her "best shots" hit below the belt every time! Thanks...
...information superhighway does its best to run in a straight line. A search for the word "hockey," will yield "puck.com"; searching for "weather" produces copious charts and myriad maps. Predictable. But throw a loaded word like "noir" into the query box, and suddenly this so-called super-highway has more twists and curves than the line for Space Mountain. "Noir" is certainly one of the most frequently used and misused terms in scholastic, artistic, and intellectual circles, and the Web proves no exception; a search turned up 1,664 sites that use the word in one capacity or another...

...saying is that those of us who enjoy playing "Doom" shouldn't feel like sinners. If you aren't the kind of person who loves a particular activity enough to dedicate large chunks of your time to it, then trying to follow the Superman model can be a super-efficient way to make yourself miserable--if not from spending too much time on something you don't like, then from feeling guilty and inadequate for not having such an easy-to-focus passion. Believe it or not, it is possible to achieve great things while working fewer than 100 hours...
