What the Bleep Do We Know? (Hoax)
You have probably heard of the movie What the Bleep Do We Know? which purports to marry metaphysics and quantum mechanics physics into one nice, warm, gooey view of the universe. I saw the movie once and was enthralled with it’s ideas – but skeptical of the cited evidence. And even more so when I […]

King Lear (No Fear Shakespeare Edition)
What a combo – stationary bike and King Lear. I love this edition, too. I always felt like I wasn’t in on the whole Shakespeare cult in college – classmates would read some swatch of King John and we were all supposed to sigh and sip from our water bottles and marvel at the beauty […]

Short Guys
It’s funny, I didn’t really consider myself short until I went to acting school. Suddenly I was no longer eligible for any leading roles (at least onstage where you can’t do camera tricks).

Loew's Hardware Can Go Straight to Hell

Artest Flap
Some guy on CNN just endorsed: If someone hits you with an object, you should go and beat the hell out of them. That’s the spirit of American sportsmanship. Don’t make me hit you. Why do you make me hate you so much? He/they/Saddam started it.

Clutter
I can’t sleep. I had a bunch of green tea at dinner but I didn’t think that stuff was supposed to wake you up too much. I guess I’ll pick up all the clothes strewn on the floor. I have to get out of the habit of just throwing my jacket, etc on the floor. […]
