Ancient Vessel
2007-05-15 00:00:00 The china dealer watched the customer carefully. The teapot was valuable, more valuable than the ten-dollar tag indicated. Even nicked, the pot?s worth was immeasurable. The customer sighed, placing it back on the shelf. No one ever saw the pot.... More About: Esse , Ancient
Grindhouse
2007-05-15 00:00:00 Grindhouse is a rebel film fan's wet dream. Helmed by Tarantino and Rodriguez, two filmmakers who can legitimately be called auteurs, the flick is anything but high-brow cinema.

300
2007-05-08 00:00:00 If only cars ran on testosterone. There'd be enough fuel in one viewing of 300 to power many nations, with enough left over to cause men's heartrates to rise and muscles to bulge imperceptibly. Say hello to Pectoral Theatre. The...
Entertainment Is A Killer

A Marriage Proposal

What Sheryl Crow Wants
2007-04-26 00:00:00 Life goes on. A week later, we have all made a move toward not reliving last week, but it isn't something that happens in a day or a week. It's different for everyone. It's taken me a bit longer than... More About: Sheryl Crow , Crow , Want , Ants
Pondering Hate And Love In The Wake of Destruction

A Prayer For VT
2007-04-17 00:00:00 After something like today's events at Blacksburg, you need some time to figure things out, to process and calculate. And then you throw all that math stuff out the window because it doesn't mean much when weighed against the utter... More About: Prayer , Raye , Pray
Lent and Rent
2007-04-16 00:00:00 Honestly, giving up coffee for Lent ...not a smart idea. I can see giving up buying four-ply toilet paper--who needs more than two plies? Is it plies? Or plys? Either way, there should be a max ply count for any day... More About: Rent
The Job You Pay To Work
2007-04-16 00:00:00 Three fourths of my life is spent in front of a computer. Bad? Wrong? Against nature? I just don't know. All I know is my bread and butter are composed in pixels, and my bacon has only the faintest smell... More About: Work
The Wind That Shakes The Barley
2007-04-16 00:00:00 The Wind That Shakes The Barley borrows its name from an Irish tune that lilts and flirts as easily as it deceives. The song may sound lovely, but is a sad tale. Such is the case with Ken Loach's film... More About: Hat , The Wind That Shakes the Barley
Good Things Come In Small Quanta
2007-04-16 00:00:00 Every year, more of the same. They kept coming in droves, each a dart of disappointment. Any fledgling geniuses must have been going to Mr. Hertzfelder's. Take Albert.

My Affair With Progeny
2007-04-16 00:00:00 First, the news. I survived Lent, which is similar to a futuristic battle royale where man fights for his very survival against the machines he made. Lent is a demilitarized zone of vice, where a cease-fire keeps the vicious populace... More About: With , Prog , Fair , Progeny , Affair
Blades of Glory
2007-04-16 00:00:00 Blades of Glory isn't your typical stupid comedy. Well, it is. But it's particularly well-cast, which gives every scene added currency. Clearly, everyone involved is having fun, but in many cases, are poking fun at themselves and the poser sentimentality... More About: Blades , Ades , Blade , Blades of Glory

Small Packages

Looking Through The Lens of Spring
2007-04-16 00:00:00 The Spring -iness of the day was somewhat spoiled by the fact that I spent it indoors staring at a computer screen. Oh poor me, I have a job, I get paid to sit on my tookus and work my magic.... More About: Ring , Lens , King , Through
Back On The Fritz
2007-04-16 00:00:00 I swear I think the days are getting shorter, not longer. It's not because I'm getting taller. I've measured, and I'm holding steady at 6'0. And it's not because the sun's dying, as is posited in the new Danny Boyle... More About: Back , Fritz
When Life Gives You Lemons
2007-04-16 00:00:00 Since taking a break from the blog, I've gotten into a car accident, discovered my insurance was cancelled without my approval or awareness, killed my computer, and I've also not done any writing. On the other hand, I did save... More About: Life , Lemon , When , Give , Lemons
Pinky Swear
2007-04-16 00:00:00 There isn't a lot that comes out of my mouth these days that isn't either overly long and so far from the point Euclid would likely have an epileptic fit at the disgrace I'm showing his first dimensional construct, or... More About: Pink , Wear , Inky , Pinky
Days Like Bullet Trains
2007-04-16 00:00:00 I've decided I dislike spinners. You like how I just drop you into the middle of my thought process? I'm like a mascot at Disneyland that way. You're walking along, minding your own business, trying to figure out where the... More About: Rain , Train , Trains , Bull , Bullet

Down With The Man
More articles from this author:2007-04-16 00:00:00 I feel like "teh suck" due either to abnormal weather conditions (for what I'm used to) or I've just been running myself quite down to the nub, and simply don't have the white blood cells to combat the germs that...
