So Cabin in the Woods (that movie that was good but not very popular) is getting sued. Well, not the movie itself – I mean the guy, Joss Whedon, who made it. And who allegedly plagiarized a book about – what else but – a cabin… in the woods… with monsters spying on and recording the foresty vacationers staying there. On the one hand, I kinda sorta get it –.. Read More
Anyone remember that movie “He’s Just Not That Into You”? Whenever it comes on and I happen to be in a channel flipping (AKA mindless/stupid/lazy) mood, I end up watching a little bit of it. It’s mostly for the half naked scenes with ScarJo and BradCoop. But it’s also for some of the fun dialog. And to torture myself by trying to will Jennifer Connelly’s freshly botoxed face to make..

So, I got the flu for the first time in years this week. I suppose that’s just the risk you run when you start being a social creature again. And, indeed, my till-now situation for many moons had been kinda like that tribe we found over in the Amazon who’d never previously made contact with the outside world. And what’d we do to ’em? What we always do. Spread our.. Read More
Everyone remember that scene from Big Daddy? The I-know-that-feel moment when they just miss the breakfast menu at the golden arched dinery? And can’t get their McMorning meal? And it makes everyone think “Yeah – how stupid! Why can’t we have hashbrowns and eggs all day?” Though I steer clear of the place now, I remember thinking the same when I was little and my mom would drag me off.. Read More
Ahhh, you thought I’d given up – didn’t you? Thought I couldn’t finish a month long challenge, eh? Wrong. I just haven’t been posting shiz (#slacker). But no worries. We’ll catchya up. Actually, though, between catching the flu and suffering from a lifelong chronic condition of because:lazy – there were some days that I came thisclose to skipping on my #30daysofnewthings challenge (which, according to Ken-the-creator’s rules I decided to..

(Did you read week 3 of #30daysofnewthings yet?) Fresh off’a my coffee habit on my #30daysofnewthings challenge (I’d decided to mostly quit the stuff), I forged ahead. Could I still be productive without my intravenous caffeine? The answer is: yes. In fact, last Saturday I sat exactly where I am now and found work-zen on Wegman’s upper floor. This is a gem I hope more of the grocery patron peons.. Read More
Well, I’ve heard of trying to poison someone by giving them an apple… But trying to poison a parent for taking away your Apple? Apple iphone, that is? Jesus. We all knew smartphone and technology-in-general addiction was getting pretty bad. This shiz is just next level, though. When a mom did what moms do and opted to punish her daughter via text and app deprivation, the seed that sprang from.. Read More
“I just wanna sneak up behind him with the scissors…” My best friend used to say this all the time when I was dating a long-locked dude with hair prettier than either’a ours. And, to be fair, the only reason I didn’t say “I’ll kill you if you do” was because I knew he’d reflexively murder anyone who dared approach him himself. Literally, I’d seen the guy pass-out drunk letting.. Read More
Anyone else see this pic of the chick who sprang a leak? The big kerfuffle over this happened after some nice Indian lady uploaded it as part of a photo project, showing women in natural states. Instagram’s natural state was to say “Ewwww” and remove it. Chick uploaded it again, along with a long winded “if e’ryone else can post bishes in they drawz, then I’mma post ’em filling them..

I sympathize with this woman – really. The one who burnt the yoga studio down, that is. I mean, if I’m paying a full $15 for a drop in visit, your ass had better not only leave the doors unlocked for me – tardy or not – but you’d better have a red carpet rolled out for me too. Instead, if I’m one second late to those mofo’s, it’s like.. Read More
