I have blogged about the true passion of my life before, but I feel compelled to so again. No, it’s not Paul Krugman–he’s my current crush. And no, it’s not even Alan Rickman–though he is hotness personified. It is, in one word, the theatre. Yes, I know that’s technically two words, but I don’t care. … Continue Reading
A New Crush!
I have a new crush, and I must share it with you. He has been on Rachel’s show more than once, and he was on Keith’s show last night. I’m a little nervous to share with you because it’s still in the honeymoon phase, and I don’t want anything to sour it. On the other hand,… Continue Reading
Don’t Blink
We live in a world where computers are obsolete before they even hit the market. Sadly, this is also true for the so-called news that we can now access 24/7. We have the specialty news channels such as CNN, MSNBC, oh, ok, I will grudgingly add FOX “News” as long as I can put the… Continue Reading
Nihilist for a Day
Or, alternately, there’s a sucker born every minute. Ok, the two aren’t really related, but they are in my mind. I am using a relatively shallow take on nihilism when I explain my mood today. What dominates the news outside of the economic crisis? Stories on the OctoPussy (octuplets’ mom), failed Ponzi schemes that accrued… Continue Reading
General Housekeeping
Hello. First on the list today is general housekeeping. Evidently, people I don’t know are actually reading my blog. This is great! A bit nerve-wracking, but great, nonetheless. After all, if I didn’t want strangers to read my words, well, then I wouldn’t be blogging in the first place. Since this seems to be the case, I… Continue Reading
Sick Day
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
