By writing this I know that I am about to admit that I watch a show aimed at teenagers and families, and being neither, I don’t know what it says about me. Blame Amy Sherman-Pallidino. If Bunheads, a.k.a. “Gilmore Girls – Now, with more Dancing!” hadn’t aired on ABC Family, I might have never accidentally … Continue reading
As part of a challenge, I am doing Cannonball Read Five here. The goal is to read and (briefly or not so briefly) review 52 books in a year. To learn more about Cannonball Read go here. I discovered Joshilyn Jackson last year when I was taking advantage of a book sale and picked up Gods … Continue reading
I met a friend for pizza this evening, since it would probably be the last time we’d get to hang out before the holidays. Amid our catch-up conversation and constant run of jokes, we talked about a guy she had very recently stopped seeing because he didn’t take her at her word when she said … Continue reading
Some would perhaps take issue with the fact that I am consuming entertainment while I exercise. The way I see it, I’m killing two birds with one stone. The thing is, I always mean to do nice things like go to movies I want to see, but I seldom make it to movies because it … Continue reading
Here’s how long Snow White and the Huntsman is: Long enough for me to get to 30 miles. That is a lot of Kristen Stewart, but also a lot of Chris Hemsworth, so, take that as it will. It was a solid hour into it before any damn dwarves showed up. Also, they … Continue reading

It’s one of my favorites not only because it is replete with quotable lines (“Wearing these jeans totally makes up for all those times I took long hot showers because I was bored,” … Continue reading
Well, despite attempting to avoid it, it looks as though I have my yearly bout of strep. All drinking and wry commentary will be done by Hermes: Meanwhile, I’ll be drinking copious amounts of tea, taking antibiotics, and watching old episodes of Key and Peele. My brother Mike and sister-in-law Bipa got me … Continue reading
I was made uncoordinated and nearsighted, built for comfort and not for speed. I could never master the monkey bars and was hopeless at cartwheels. As a myopic youth, my interests tended towards those least likely to result in a full body cast. This is more difficult than you’d think, as I have more … Continue reading
It’s been a while since I’ve mentioned what I’m listening to, and there is a reason for that: I’ve mostly been listening to one song, and that song is Hey Ya! And I have said before that I have never heard that song and not wanted to get a party started. I remember being at … Continue reading
Once upon a time I hated a boy. That seems a little strong to say. I did not like this boy, not one bit, and perhaps I could have merely detested him and never thought much about it again, but I was convinced I hated him. Hated him with every fiber of my being. And … Continue reading
