Big ups to all of the mothers out there, well, at least the ones that are working hard to raise good, strong families. And extra props to the Bomb Moms (a term Dirty Jase and I coined, sort of pre-MILF) everywhere. I am still moderately surprised at how weird/sometimes difficult Mother’s Day can...
I've been meaning to still this idea from my friend Kristin's site for awhile now. 1) I recently cut my own bangs. This did not end well; I will be wearing headbands for a couple of months. 2) I love weddings but I don't believe in marriage. For me, a relationship should be about love and...
But then, you knew that. Lulubird6 got me, so now I have to get some other Victims Voxers. *rubs hands together with a glint in the eyes* There are rules...always rules to these things.

Director Steven Shainberg has a way with female masochists. His explosive 2002 film "Secretary" is best known for scenes of Maggie Gyllenhaal pulling up her skirt and awaiting the disciplinary smack of James Spader's hand. In "Fur," which recently came out on DVD, Shainberg sets his kinky sights on...
In this time of everyone talking about change... The Mouse has released scheduling changes due to the writer's strike. Here's a partial list of the films and dates that have been changed. "Confessions of a Shopaholic" PJ Hogan's take on Sophie Kinsella's novel has moved from its October 9th 2008...
The Declaration of Independence When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God...
There was one night when I was drinking chrysanthemum tea, and the idea of documenting my bookshelf came back to me. I put down my drink and photographed sections of my ENETRI, which was excessively dusty. Then I thought, "No, this shouldn't be the way. If I want to write on something I own, better...
Tim Burton, the person who was responsible for one of my most beloved movies of all time "Nightmare Before Christmas", has signed a 2-picture deal with Disney. OK, I can't say this loud enough, but ... H O O R A Y !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Burton has signed a two-picture deal with the company that...

Not everybody can be original all the time; for that matter, nobody can, particularly when it comes to writing… James Joyce, even, despite the seismic effect his unorthodox work had on literature, must have struggled to be original at all times, so too Dostoyevsky, Flaubert, Beckett, Ibsen,...

"The time has come," the Walrus said, "To talk of many things: Of shoes—and ships—and sealing-wax— Of cabbages—and kings— And why the sea is boiling hot— And whether pigs have wings." - Through the Looking Glass Lewis Carroll I read once that the age of blogging is the age of narcissism....
Here are some random quotes that I like: A conversation is a dialogue, not a monologue. That's why there are so few good conversations: due to scarcity, two intelligent talkers seldom meet. My major regret in life is that my childhood was unnecessarily lonely. Truman Capote Who in the world am I?...
In 2003, the nation's favourite 100 books were documented. I hoped to have read quite a few/ the majority of them. I was disappointed, if I'm honest. Disapponted because I hadn't read most of them and disappointed because there were a large number I would never read (genre, author, boredom level,...
The Big Read reckons that the average adult has only read 6 of the top 100 books they've printed. 1) Look at the list and bold those you have read. 2) Italicize those you intend to read. 3) Underline the books you LOVE. 4) Put an asterisk next to the books you'd rather shove hot pokers in your eyes...
I read a lot, but sadly I guess I don't read enough of the classics. I was in Borders yesterday and realized I haven't read a lot of what high schools today consider "required reading." I have, however, read the Rock's autobiography, so I am well rounded in other ways. I at least did better than...
