Just got back from seeing Signs. Go see it! It has been a long time since I actually screamed watching a scary movie. The best part was that as I watched I kept thinking about one particularly scary moment where I imagine my sister ripping off her boyfriend’s thumb in the movie theatre (handholding has […]

Stop your engine. No smoking. Return nozzle to pump when finished fueling. Pre-pay after dark. Thank you for financing global terror.

Sitting here on the red line stuck at Addison. Evidently last night’s rains caused a lot of flooding so all of the trains are running on just one track – what a crapfest… oh well – at least I’ll be late for the meeting that I don’t want to go to. Tomorrow I go to […]

I had an audition last week for a Hanes Underwear commercial – no call yet so I’m assuming they went with […]

Atty. Gen. John Ashcroft’s announced desire for camps for U.S. citizens he deems to be “enemy combatants” has moved him from merely being a political embarrassment to being a constitutional menace. Ashcroft’s plan, disclosed last week but little publicized, would allow him to order the indefinite incarceration of U.S. citizens and summarily strip them of […]

There is something hypnotic about Suze Orman’s voice. Yes, she can be grating and abrasive but at the same time strangely compelling… I think it is part of the lure of Dr. Laura – of seeing her lay into people that call up and ask her about a variable life insurance policy (for God’s sake […]
