The VP Debate Okay, just got done watching the vice presidential debate. A few thoughts. As with last week’s presidential debate, the main thing to remember in determining who won and who lost is that this whole thing was aimed at that small proportion of voters who are still undecided. Anyone who wasn’t going to … Continue reading
I began Re-watching Six Feet Under from the beginning last night. Well, re-watching is only partially accurate, because although I was a huge fan of the series almost from it’s inception (thanks to Brown and his Aunt who would tape all great things on cable and pass them to him, and him to I) I … Continue reading
Strange. I feel like I’ve been here before… It’s been a really long time since I wrote one of these. I was popping them out on an almost daily basis before all the new bloggers were brought aboard. Then it just seemed like when I posted one, it was buried before I could blink. Not that … Continue reading
Sometimes I have the bad luck to have to talk to a Republican about politics. It’s an awful and surreal experience, similar to Alice’s time at that tea party, as they spout off bullshit talking points they read on Drudge and say things like ‘Obama’s the most liberal senator’ as if that’s supposed to make … Continue reading
Watch the following video. Yes, this video. Back? Good. That video is hilarious. To be fair, her life story has taken a back seat to her recent airheaded comments. However, take those comments into account with her life story, and it sounds like a Daily Show skit. The only reason I hope for … Continue reading
I think enough time has passed that I can admit to having kind of a rough childhood. Daddy and I simply could not get along. The animosity between us sprang from one very simple misunderstanding: “no” does not mean playing “hard to get.” After flipping through the TV channels and reading a few hundred celebrity … Continue reading
Daniel Larusso was my hero. A dorky kid takes matters into his own hands and battles the school bullies. In the end, he earns their respect, wins the competition and gets the girl. Not bad for scrawny kid from Jersey. It wasn’t until I saw My Cousin Vinny that I realized it was the same … Continue reading
My apologies for not updating for so long. I could give various excuses, but I’ll give just one…I’m a lazy fuck. I’d like to start up again by talking about my lifelong love for the horror genre. Since the hollowed month of October is almost upon us, I felt it was a good time to … Continue reading
On my way to a screening of Werner Herzog’s Encounters At The End of the World (part of the 2008 Savannah Ocean Film Festival), I was accosted by sea creatures. My friends and I were walking our way down Savannah’s main drag to the beautiful Trustees Theater, and there they were… I tried to get … Continue reading
Seems to me that if you want to make it as a writer, sometimes it’s good to have a story of your own, in addition to the one you’re peddling. Backstory sells, you see. I’m thinking, for example, of the legend of A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole, whose mother … Continue reading
