A viewing of “the Great Pumpkin” or “That’s one Big Ass Punkin’” or whatever it is that the kids call it these days is a little different with a glass of wine. And an appreciation for just how odd it is that I enjoyed at 7 years of age a cartoon that employed polysyllabic words [...]

Having a moment
10.29.07 –
As of late my father is more under the weather than usual. For those who know the full story, I recognize that this is the understatement of the year, perhaps second only to “Britney’s having a moment.” But thankfully denial isn’t just a river in Egypt, and instead it often flows right past my apartment [...]
Here’s to you, Mrs. Robinson
10.25.07 –
I went to the Kelly Clarkson concert last night. No, it wasn’t Hannah Montana, asshat. But I did feel slightly like a chaperone.

Although I may go back for the Macaroni Grill
10.15.07 –
I spent a good amount of time in the suburbs this weekend. Six hours at least. Which is a long time, people. Longer than a flight to London or my perceived length of any Ethan Hawke movie. And I’m not talking about Arlington or Alexandria, which in many spots are pretty much pseudo-suburbs, but the [...]
Even better than Cats
10.11.07 –
I ate some of the cats’ kibble tonight. Don’t judge.
Let me preface this moment of TMI with an acknowledgement that I’m going through some heady stuff right now, some unbloggableness that is neither pleasant nor admittedly of a nature that would actually cause one to taste one’s cat food. It has, however, caused [...]
