Prospects For The Season
With all of the home improvements and assorted engagements, we’ve not seen many new movies this summer. And back in June, we had an experience at a local War of the Worlds screening that diminished slightly our interest in occasional free movies. (I thought I blogged about it, but I can’t find the entry. It’s …
Geek Day and Court Date
We spent the weekend getting Lost. Nikki received the DVDs for season one for her birthday, so we’ve been using every available hour since to learn more about the 48 47 46 castaways on an uncharted desert isle. Since Saturday, we’ve burned through nine or ten more episodes, leaving us with one more full DVD …
An Interview With Amber of Being Amber Rhea
(This week, I interviewed Amber from Being Amber Rhea. Not so coincidentally, I answered questions from Jen over at Audacity.) For whom do you blog? For your audience or for yourself? When I started my blog, it was just for me. I didn’t even think that anyone would ever read it – the thought didn’t …
Those Were The Days That Sucked
Never apply logic to a television theme song. You will always come out of the experience disappointed. Case in point: “Those Were The Days” — the screeching theme song to “All In The Family.” In the song, Archie and Edith warble longingly about the past. They mention Glenn Miller and the Hit Parade. Shortly thereafter, …
Barry’s Ballad
and I’m there before she knows it I’ll be gone before she sees me with my hand around her waist I pull her back to safety by the time she knows what’s happened there’ll be someone else who needs me because time keeps dragging on and on and on and on – “The Ballad of …
About Anansi
Anansi Boys (Galley) Originally uploaded by grabbingsand. I meant to have this review up much earlier, but I just couldn’t find the right first foothold. But finally, with only a day to go before the book drops, I found a decent place to start and finish: a review of Neil Gaiman’s Anansi Boys at JIVE.
Lessons From The Weekend, Part 1
I have a four roller coaster limit. Actually, this is a marked improvement. When I was a teenager, I was never much for the coasters, particularly if they looped. I spent far too much quality time as a very little tyke being the crown prince of car-sickness, so dizziness was something to avoid. But on …
4,109 Issues
This is incredibly cool. If anyone had five spare twenties to burn, I’d love* you forever. (* – By love, I mean a fraternal kind of agape love that methodists have for one another both when they are at church and when they run into each other at the mall or in the liquor store. …
I (For)got You, Babe
Another Wednesday Night. Another four rounds of trivia at the Mellow Mushroom. And hey, check it out! Another First Place win! Tonight, we (Nikki, Darcey, Joseph, B.J., me and The Dread Pirate Rusty) were Hispanics Taking Full Responsibility for Whatever. (We almost went with the far more presumptuous Hispanics Taking Full Responsibility for Kicking Your …
