The good news–I no longer want to rip my eyeballs out. The bad news–I want to eviscerate both lungs. To that end, I am posting two old movie reviews today in lieu of an actual substantive post. They are, The End of the Affair and Breakfast on Pluto. Both are directed by Neil Jordan, and… Continue Reading

The End of the Affair–After You See It
3:02 a.m. 9/15/16/05 My mom is gone, which means I get to watch whatever movie I want again. I have duly reconfigured my queue to reflect my tastes, but I still have three movies at home that I have yet to see. These are movies that I do want to view, but not necessarily right… Continue Reading
Breakfast on Pluto–After You See It
4:45 p.m. 5/19/06 Ok. Next up—Breakfast on Pluto. I had mix feelings about seeing this movie because it got pretty trashed at the time it was released. I don’t normally pay attention to reviews when I am actually going to see a movie, but I did with this movie for some reason. Why did… Continue Reading
Finally, Feline Fondness
Well, it’s that day, finally. The day when I can stop talking about love! I was running out of things I love, so I’m relieved that today is the final day of gushing. What is the topic of the day? Why, my cats, of course. In their honor, here is the song Lovecats by The… Continue Reading
Every Word Counts
As I was lying in bed last night, futilely trying to go to sleep, I suddenly realized that all my love videos I have posted have been from men. To right that dastardly wrong, I will be posting several love videos by women. First up, some old-school Indigo Girl. Their poignant song, Love’s Recovery. Ok. … Continue Reading
Yeah, So?
I am sick. No, I mean literally this time. Physically. I get bronchitis fairly regularly, but this is beyond what I usually get. Everything hurts. My eyeballs, my joints, my muscles, my tendons, my eyelids, my elbows, my knees, my scalp, my throat, and my chest. That is just the short list. So, for today’s… Continue Reading
All About Alan
So, just two days after I lifted my self-imposed political ban, I love nothing. Now, is there a correlation? Probably. To that end, here is the love song of the day. It’s All Out of Love by Air Supply–a particularly apt song for my mood, I think, if you take the title words literally. Hm. … Continue Reading
Bite Me.
Ok. I am done with my self-imposed ban on politics, and today, I have plunged back into the world of lefty blogs and lefty shows. Now, I have to warn you that I am pretty dang sick, which means I’m grumpier than usual. The light hurts my eyes, and the water from my bath hurts my… Continue Reading
There’s No Business Like Show Business
Ed. note: I had to remove the last two videos because the user removed them on YouTube. Ok. I am Day Four into my personal politics-free zone, and I am doing surprisingly ok. I glance at the headlines just to see how much filibustering the Republicans are doing, and then I just shrug and go… Continue Reading
What Goes In, MUST Go Out.
As I wrote yesterday, I love food. Food, however, does not reciprocate this warm, squishy feeling. First, the song of the day is from a local New Wave group of the ’80s, the Suburbs. It is called Love is the Law, and if you’re not groovin’, you’re losing! What do I love today? I love… Continue Reading
