  • Not sleeping… take two hours of the BBC’s Shakespeares and call me in the morning.

    Why am I up you might ask? Well, I’ve not been sleeping. I have to move on Saturday, finish my theatre history journals, AND figure out how to pay for living all while saving the world from the forces of evil. It’s a tough job. It’s very much like being a Superfriend except that my…

  • Crying for no reason… oh wait, WILL & GRACE is on.

    So I totally started crying tonight for no reason. At first I thought to myself, “Am I a woman AND on my period?” Then I checked the drawers, realized I was being COMPLETELY ridiculous, and thought what the HELL is my problem. I took a moment, looked around the room, spotted Will & Grace on…

  • Da Vinci and His Crazy Painting Self

    So, in my sickly stupor yesterday I finished reading The Da Vinci Code. Holy mother of… seriously! Frankly, one of my more favorite books as of lately. Yes its trendy and yes its being turned into a film but it was a LOT of fun and who doesn’t love a good conspiracy theory. If you…

  • If I were a tree…

    If I were a tree I imagine I would live forever, as long as no one cut me down and I wasn’t a Dutch Elm with a penchant for disease. I’m still at home sick and as such I’ve been sucked into the zombie-like state of watching “Metropolis: Ancient Cities” on The Science Channel. It’s…

  • Sick as a dog…

    I’m sick as a dog. It’s ridiculous. Out of nowhere. But my curiosity has been peaked by this simple phrase… “sick as a dog”. I’ve had many dogs and none of them were ever “sick” all the time. Because of my funk and the copious spare time I have sitting here today, I’ve done a…

  • Everything I Needed to Learn in Life I Learned from Lizzie Maguire

    Heavenly father, forgive me for I have sinned. I am 29 and actually enjoy watching Lizzie Maguire. Who out there hasn’t endured the heartache of living in that limbo that is “Not quite the popular kid” and “not the nerd”? Picture it, Monterey, California, 1989… in walks a scrappy young guy of 13 into a…

  • The Nuclear Family

    At some point in after World War II someone decided that the world would be much better if women put on Christian Dior flare dresses, pearls, vacuumed the house, and made dinner just before 5:30 when the Man of the House would come walking in the door from his enigmatic job (briefcase in hand). They…

  • Day One: The Test

    Day One… the crucial moment of birth in this panoramic world known as the World Wide Web. I hear it is a powerful tool for discovering interesting facts about people in Nairobi, saltwater fishing in the Gulf of Mexico, and downloading of morally questionable pictures and videos from European distributors. But that is not my…
