So, I was at Eric “Ptomaine” Hedlund’s blog earlier today. I go there now and again, despite the fact he posts in spurts and then doesn’t post for over a year. If he posted regularly, you can be sure he’d be in the blog link section on your right. You may remember Eric from several […]
Matt Deatherage (once famous as keeper of the Dogcow) made this post about Olestra (scroll halfway down). I feel obligated to report that I, too, once ate a can of Pringles made with Olestra. It had the most unfortunate side effect of cleaning out my entire intestinal tract in a very rapid fashion an hour […]
Here’s my review of last night’s Billy Joel concert. He’s sold out two shows here, something he always did when used to perform regularly — in fact standing room only seats were sold at the Bank Atlantic Center, which is rarely done here. This show was 1-7 and the next is coming up next week […]
Today I was planning on writing a tirade on the much maligned — and rightfully so — Patriot Act. Nobody seems to be willing to take any sort of stand on creating a balance between Security and Stupidity. I like my privacy, and while I really don’t care if anyone gets a list of what […]
I am quite certain there are about 1,000,000 similar entries on blogs and websites around the world with the same exact wishes, however I will, nonetheless throw my wishes into the pot as well: Happy New Year as well as a prosperous and healthy one to everyone out there. In French, une bonne année, or […]
In my original blog post a year ago I mentioned Dave Barry was going on hiatus and said he’d announce more after a year. I predicted this hiatus would probably be permanent. Today he announced that it would, indeed, be permanent. The newswire story says it all. Or read the official interview and statement if […]
Someone had asked me last week if I was ‘friends’ with anyone famous. That’s interesting because everyone defines ‘friend’ differently. We drifted off into the do you know anyone famous, and then would anyone famous recognize you discussions? So I decided to compile a list of sorts. Feel free to us the comments field to […]
This is a retro-post. I put this online 24 December 2005 using the date it was originally sent out. This isn’t the type of film I normally see. But it looked interesting to me, and it’s getting press as one of the best films of the year. It finally opened in Miami this weekend in […]
This is a retro-post. I put this online 24 December 2005 using the date it was originally sent out. My review of “AI” — the Kubrick film as interpreted by Steven Spielberg. Rest assured that there are NO SPOILERS in this review. I guess I must start by saying I went out of my way […]
I often write movie reviews, concert reviews, and theatre reviews and I’ve not been good about getting them out except to a few people here and there, so I’ve decided to do some retroactive posts. I will add them all into my blog with the original date they were posted. These posts will be clearly […]
