I was going to title this post, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pans in honor of Rizzo, but since I don’t cook, it really didn’t make much inherent sense. Warning, I never read the book (or saw the movie), so I only have a vague idea what it’s about. The reason I swiped the title,… Continue Reading
Yahoo! I’m Nermal!
Well, ok, not really. Nermal, if you will remember, is Garfield’s nemesis. He is the self-proclaimed cutest kitten in the world, and Garfield hates him. I don’t blame Garfield, as I’ve always hated Nermal, too. However, he popped into my head the other day when I was ruminating over the word ‘normal’. See, I love… Continue Reading
Conversation Enders
I read www.washingtonmonthly.com daily, and you should, too. Yesterday, there was an entry entitled, The Birthers, which starts like this: “I call them “conversation enders.” These are comments that lead you to know, the moment you hear them, that the writer/speaker is either clueless or intellectually dishonest, and there’s really no reason to engage the person… Continue Reading
I Can’t Feel My Legs!
In honor of my aching body, I present to you, Numb by U2, “sung” by The Edge. In addition, it is one of the most erotic songs I know–the video, not so much. I have no idea why it gets me so hot, but whatever. My mom is visiting. Thus, I have been cleaning like… Continue Reading
Off the Grid For Most of the Day
Nothing today. Try again tomorrow. Video for you. Motley Crue’s Don’t Go Away Mad (Just Go Away). It’s a live version because of the embedding disabled thing. If you want to see the actual video, go to YouTube. Continue Reading
Yay, Probiotics!
Yes, I am now probiotics rather than antibiotics. Taking the latter is making me quite nauseous. A few friends suggested taking the former to counter the latter. It was a good suggestion. However, it’s wearing off, and the nausea is returning. I am out of sorts, out of energy, and almost running out of time… Continue Reading
Charlotte Sometimes–Before You See It
Ed. Note: This is mostly fine to read before seeing the movie. I will indicate where you might want to stop reading if you want to watch the last ten minutes of the movie without knowing what’s going to happen. 4:44 a.m. 6/3/4/04 I have a new favorite movie, and it’s called Charlotte Sometimes. Now,… Continue Reading
Batman Begins–Before You See It
Ed. Note: I labeled this a before you see it review because there aren’t many spoilers in a Hollywood blockbuster. However, if you really don’t want to know anything before watching this movie, then you may want to read this after. Consider yourself forewarned. 3:48 a.m. 7/3/4/05 I am Batman. No, I’m not, but I… Continue Reading
Godspell–BEFORE You See It
10:50 p.m. 5/12/06 Ok. I like musicals. I am able to suspend my critical eye when it comes to plot, characters, etc. I don’t expect as much, narratively, as long as there is kick-ass music. Oh, some dancing is nice, too, but not required. I had read good things about Godspell, so I decided to… Continue Reading
The UK On My Mind
Still under the weather, and I have to do more cleaning. So, for today, I am posting old essays that wax poetic on all things, er, people British. I have a fascination with British people (including Scottish, Irish, and Welsh), and I have no rational explanation for it. Just a note in general. I recently… Continue Reading
