  • My thoughts on the subject

    I’ve been talking with quite a few people lately about “Where the Wild Things Are,” and I have drawn a conclusion. I’ve found that people who’d never read the book as a child, or had it read to them as the case may be, have trouble reading it for the first time as adults. They… Continue reading

  • Hello again, Augusten.

    For the past few weeks I’ve been happily reading “The Story of Edgar Sawtelle” by David Wroblewski. It’s the first time in a long time that I’ve actually checked out a book from the library. The book is about 550 pages long, and I got about half way through, when the due date came up.… Continue reading

  • Commercial Parodies

    I’ve started off with a fairly basic SNL lesson that should be a review for most of you. Chris Farley’s Motivational Speaker clip from 1993 is a classic and should serve as a warm-up exercise. Now I’m going to shift gears to a different segment of the course entitled: Lesson 2: Commercial Parodies “HiberNol” Season… Continue reading

  • SNL 101

    Saturday Night Live is dying. It’s dying a slow, horrible death and we all know it. We watch it for Andy Samberg’s digital shorts, that’s it. That is why I’m introducing a new segment on this blog entitled SNL 101. This is where I will post videos of old Saturday Night Live segments that I… Continue reading

  • I have a crush on Woody Harrelson.

    From “Natural Born Killers” to “No Country for Old Men” to his newest, “Zombieland,” he always plays a total badass with no remorse. But at the same time, he has a soft sensitive side that he doesn’t let people see that often. Sorry for getting all school-girl mushy on you guys, but you have to… Continue reading

  • Star Trek

    Finally got around to seeing the new “Star Trek” movie tonight. I’m not a huge science fiction person, so a lot of it was over my head, but I still  enjoyed it. What I thought was really weird was seeing Eric Bana play the bad guy when I had just seen him play a softy… Continue reading

  • What I’m listening to

    I’ve been working on this painting of my aunt and her fiance Barry for about four months now. Their wedding is on November 1, and I need to have it done by at least mid-October for it to be dry enough to mail to Baltimore in time. So I’ve been painting here and there (photos… Continue reading

  • Sunshine Cleaning

    If you want to laugh, cry and be thoroughly grossed out all in the space of 91 minutes, “Sunshine Cleaning” is the movie for you. It’s a very realistic slice-of-life kind of film that takes place in Albuquerque, N.M. The houses they have to clean are decorated in ‘70s fashions, are depressing, smell awful, and… Continue reading

  • This explains a lot.

    Yes. The city you see listed on the number two spot for the drinkinest cities in the country is good old Palm Bay, my hometown. I was tagged in this picture on Facebook along with about 40 other people and the comments explain oh-so-much about why this is true.  Take Stephanie’s comment for example: “Hahahaha… Continue reading
