Month: July 2003

I was giggling at this report from The Onion – an article saying that focus groups for the new Affleck/J. Lo movie demand a new ending to the flick where they perish: The Onion | Gigli Focus Groups Demand New Ending In Which Both Affleck And Lopez Die “What about an automobile fire in which […]

Coca-Cola plant in India is being accused of putting thousands of farmers out of work by draining the water that feeds their wells, and poisoning the land with waste sludge that the company claims is fertiliser.

There are some movies that tease you with their inherent badness that you know some night – oh yes – you will rent it and spend the precious minutes that you have together watching it. Such it is with Just Can’t Get Enough – the ‘true’ story of the Chippendales murders. Actually murder. The ‘movie’ […]

Ron and I have been doing remarkably well lately – compared to the rough spot we were on a few weeks ago. I chalk it up to an upturn in both of our career possibilities. He’s supposedly going back to work in September. I say supposedly because they really jerk the flight attendants around with […]

I was trying to entreat Ron to watch Fight Club the other night but he doesn’t think it’s worth watching because it’s all about fighting and nothing gets solved. I was trying to explain the underlying themes of the movie but he didn’t want to hear it. I then tried to draw connections between Fight […]

I got a good laugh when a friend sent me Shirley Q. Liquor’s comedy clip, ‘Ebonics Airlines’ wherein the comedian plays up a ghetto airline steward’s pre-flight checklist. I always feel bad laughing at this kind of stuff. Then I did a little online research and learned that Shirley Liquor is actually a persona performed […]
