I'm going to be keeping my public blog at WordPress from now on. I doubt I'll be updating here; here's the RSS feed if you're interested.

Kind of a slapdash lunch this week. This is what happens when I go to the grocery store without making a plan and a list first. Bite-size cucumber & cream cheese sandwiches on dark rye. Apricot. Trail mix. Vegetarian "chicken" nuggets--fast beco...

some people probably need to be told how to shower, but i doubt they read elle

I can't articulate my feelings of "Huh?" any better than Jezebel did: The spine of Allure reads "The Beauty Expert." That's the mag's claim to fame. Nowhere does it say that the publication is for the mentally handicapped, three year olds, those...

my continuing love affair with bad television

2008-05-22T18:16:47Z

Sadly, Jericho was canceled after its short-lived, fan-inspired resurrection of a 7-episode 2nd season. At least it allowed them to more or less wrap the show up and give it a fucking awesome send-off. Moonlight was another one of those shows tha...

whiny millenial brat responds to radar's "call to arms"

2008-05-21T22:25:39Z

Kidding, kidding! Alex Pareene makes some valid points, chief among them that this is more of the same old bashing bullshit that we lashed out against when it was directed at us by Boomers (which I acknowledged in my original post). Also that th...

what fresh hell is this?

2008-05-21T17:31:32Z

Actual headline from BBC News: Obese blamed for the world's ills. With the requisite ugly, hairy, stretchmarked disembodied stomach. The gist: Climate change, rising gas prices, and the increase in the cost of food are all the fault of fatties. Y...
