Due to weather beyond our control (and wouldn’t it be interesting if we COULD control the weather…by national vote or consensus?)….ANYWAY. Due to weather beyond our control, Monika will be postponing the book signing to July.

Monika has previously published books (I know…it’s shocking how cool that is to say). She is coming out with her next book called “Struggling for Beauty” and we are so proud and happy to share this moment with her.

Check out our new “Living Well Page” from all of us at Still Good News.com

Every month or so, we’ll be putting up a major feature page full of links, videos, articles and reviews. They’ll be about everything from health to entertainment.

This month - we’re hoping you want to learn more about Yoga. (no we’re not asking you to do it, just read about it…and maybe do it, too, for like…a minute or so….)

We’ve all found a lot of serenity in yoga, and even the cynical side of us has to admit it’s a good thing. For articles about “Online Yoga at Home”, “Laughing Yoga Videos”, “Finding Serenity in Yoga” and more- head to our Living Well Tab (or click here if you forgot your glasses and can’t see it next to “About”).

I have had the same bag of walnut halves in my kitchen for a few weeks with absolutely NO IDEA what to do with them. None.

Nestled, quite literally, in the center of Crosby Street in downtown NYC, there is the Housing Works Bookstore Cafe. One day, a few years back, I stumbled in to get away from the rain for a while and ended up settling at one of the wooden tables with a cupcake and a cup of tea from the Cafe at the back.

Years and years ago my cousins moved to El Paso, Texas. I never quite knew why they chose Texas, but OK. I went to visit them once and while I was there I was introduced to these crunchy, sweet cinnamon-y, fried, flour tortilla things - OH MAN. I was told that these lovely little things were called “bunuelos”.

Once a month, at the beginning of the month, Bruce from Walking Tours Manhattan hosts a Dessert Fest walking tour of different parts of the city. It’s free, and all he really asks is 1$ donation that’s 100% for charity.  This month he did the dessert shops of Harlem. Since I live in the neighborhood I figured I should at least know where all the sweet shops were, that way I could find them when I need them…or avoid them when I need them. (HA!)

Good News! British rapper, M.I.A. has not joined the star-studded masses and named her newborn something silly like “Ickitt”. According to her latest myspace.com blog post (in all caps mind you):

There was an actual study that measured the level of disgust one registered when tasting something bitter and when faced with the morally acerbic. They found that the 2 sitiations registered an equal amount of grossicity.

She could be anyone’s Granny, but she ain’t just your run of the mill senior citizen…oooh no!… In Budapest police caught Kosztor Sandborne, 83, nicknamed “Flying Gizi“, as she was creeping into a house to rob it in Komarom, in northwest Hungary.

Apparently, it’s been Flying Gizi’s modis operandi, for the last 6o years to rob a place and make her get away by taking a commercial flight. Lately, though, she’s been taking the train because the trains in Hungary are free for senior citizens! She’s been convicted 20 times and has been on police radar since the 1950’s.

I don’t know about you, but I am going to keep a close eye on the elderly ladies I give my seat up to on the A-train.
