Sheet rocking of living room began today, after several arguments and 15 minutes wasted looking for goggles that were in the tool box all along. What a mess! I’ll put up “before and after” photos if we get a straight seam.

Saw Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events last night. Better than I expected. Lots of regulars from Christopher Guest and Todd Solondz movies, too, which was a hoot. Plus Craig Ferguson in drag! Matt thought there was too much Jim Carrey (I thought he was surprisingly restrained– no butt jokes!) We both agreed the [...]

I think it’s my seventh wedding anniversary today. I really need to write this stuff down… * Here’s an awful anniversary gift from the New England Journal of Medicine: Fit but fat women face earlier deaths than fit and lean ladies. Sheesh! * My Cat Hates You. Heh heh, this will help squash those rumors [...]

Happy Solstice! The short sunlight days are waning, yes, yes. By now everyone knows about JK Rowling‘s Solstice gift, I’m sure. I can’t compete with another Harry Potter book, but how about…. * Naked photos of celebrities you never, ever wanted to see in the buff. Oh, Betty White! * The insane TV critic at [...]

Amusing link from Mom: Instructions of how to put together an artificial tree, with kitty helpers. You want to believe these are Photoshopped, but no, the cats really are this insane! Even though this tree is artificial, it should still be sniffed and tasted for freshness. Yep, this one’s still good! After each layer it [...]

It’s official: Bill Cosby hates us. Why are you ruining my childhood memories, Bill? What did I ever do to you?? Speaking of African-American cinema, I saw a clip of Woman Thou Art Loosed on “Oprah” yesterday (hey! I was high on back medication after moving three bookcases– what’s your excuse for watching daytime TV??) [...]

Poor Ursula LeGuin. Portland’s premiere sci-fi author has issued an admonition of the Sci-Fi Channel’s adaptation of her fantasy series, EarthSea. Seems the producers completely missed the race message and cast all whites (except, ironically, Portlander Danny Glover), and gutted most of the themes about humanity’s treatment of one another. It’s just a lot of [...]

Here are my Christmas gift recommendations… for the damned, heh, heh. Courtesy of Plastic and Fark. * Girlfriend’s lap pillow. That’s unholy! * Demotivators prints and calendars Heh heh: “Ambition. Sometimes the journey of a thousand miles ends very, very badly.” * Letters from Bad Santa For the naughties on your shopping list! * Dubya [...]

Put on your ’60s go-go boots, drop some tabs, and enjoy the new Charlie and the Chocolate Factory trailer. This is either funky and fun, or just plain awful. Is it just me, or does Depp look a little Michael Jackson-y? Still… nice to see Tim Burton returning to odd-ball movies. His next project sounds [...]
