I remember walking out of an advanced screening of Ten Things I Hate About You. I was a little less than a year out of college, working at Mike Clark’s Movie Madness at the time, and either the store gave out passes, or my journalist friends got me and a friend into the screening. I … Continue reading
Cloverfield breaks January records! Man stubs toe and yells!
I’ve heard it called “manscaping” (though it may not be as specific), but – since I thought of it, and haven’t done the research to see if anyone else has typed it beforehand – I would like it to hereafter be referred to as “taintenance.”AND THIS MONTH USED TO BE SUCH A DULL PLACE…Speaking of … Continue reading

We had danced so hard that I created a … Continue reading

I went home for the holidays. … Continue reading
