great expectorations
It’s the Fourth Fifth Friday Challenge for December. My friend Paul and I, both posting daily in 2011, decided to give each other a job once a month to keep things spicy. In his words, “we want to push ourselves to do something more interesting than we might otherwise.” And here is his challenge to…

Oh, look at these dear little things. I have always loved stamps, collected for a bit as a young one. I adore art on a teeny tiny level. Mix in my permanent fascination with Esperanto, and we’ve got a whole night of hardcore cross-interest internetting. Look at all these Esperanto stamps, they all could be…

Nothing better than listening to a dryer purring nicely, more nicely that I ever remember it purring What make it better: this was after a few days of it sounding, on startup, like it was trying to shoot itself in the face with a machine gun. A crappy machine gun. What makes it even better:…

I’m bummed that the Craft Muse didn’t visit me this year — or more accurately, that crushing laziness visited the hell out of me this year. I made nothing with my hands, as presents or anything else.

He was irresistible to me. Personally, he was handsome, charming, softspoken, gay, and southern. His films, however, told another story —…

Loni: So, there was a Facebook post about Dubstep … Becky and Lamar: Ewwwww. Loni: No, wait, hear me out! So everyone’s debating about the merits of Dubstep … Becky: …of which there are none. Loni (ignoring Becky): And someone posted “Dubstep should not be allowed to exist.” That’s wrong! I was so pissed off!…

I don’t usually make blog space for DICKtators, their regimes, demises, nor general loathsome despot-icity. However, I must comment upon the passing of N0rth K0rea’s leader. He was responsible for the horrifying and ongoing brainwashing of an entire nation, and for countless deaths of human beings. He sure is fun to make fun of, and the…
Read Morebest-looking cowboy in the whole parade
Midnight Cowboy is a flick to revisit. It’s a little flawed but its utter weirdness, it’s late-60s-ness, and clothing/set design is worth it! I re-found M.C. through a mini Dustin Hoffman marathon, who I am appreciating the thespian talents of more and more. He’s really good in this, hard to believe he’s a humble Angeleno,…

A guy named Flula discusses a stupid American idiom [link] “Happy as a clam?” Does this mean you are suffering suicide feelings? Because I tell you what. What … I’ll tell you what is what. Clam is not happy. Clam is having major depression issues. Seasonal … what is it? Seasonal Affect Disorder, except the…
