A break in my routine of writing, explained by my passing out last night the minute we got home. This in turn is explained by the fact that my parents and I traipsed (traipsed, I say) around the city all day Monday. Walked through much of Moscow’s center, and got a chance to wander through the Red...
First of all I'd like to thank Nelson and the kids for allowing me to go on this fun filled GIRLS DAY OUT with my gf's! We had a blast! Seeing the richness of the cultural diversity, the hustle and bustle of people on the streets, the energy, the wide selection of ethnic food made me miss life in...

I'm so sad about Ted Kennedy. He has a lot of detractors, but I'm not one of them. Maybe I should explain. I'm a third-generation Democrat. My grandparents had two photos, hanging shrine-like, in their dining room: FDR and JFK, so I'm decidedly left of center (way left) in my politics. How many of...
For the fresh, aspiring animation artist story is a mystery, loaded with questions. How should the panels look? How finished off and detailed must they be? And--here's one I've been asked many times, and wondered myself as a kid--how long is it supposed to take to draw each panel? It's as if there's...
This is an article in The Times yesterday that made me giggle at the truth of it. It was written by Tad Safran. For some reason it sort of describes my situation. Straight, proud, unmarried men over 30 (Spurmos) are in crisis. So many have settled down or succumbed to marriage there's no one left to...

"Indiana Jones" Fans Tough Crowd For Effects Crew (Hollywood Reporter) - Indiana Jones' return to the big screen after 19 years underscores how much visual effects have evolved. When the first three Indy films were made in the 1980s, the visual effects were done optically, i.e. photographically or...
1-16-2008 As the days keep rolling the Spanish language is getting easier and easier. I am beginning to understand, with more ease, Gloria, Francisco (my grammar professor, whom I had a very difficult time understanding in the beginning), and the other people I encounter in day to day life. At...
It seems a man, wanting to rob a downtown Bank of America, walked into the branch and wrote, "This iz a stikkup. Put all your muny in this bag." While standing in line, waiting to give his note to the teller, he began to worry that someone had seen him write the note and might call the police before...
My internet connection is retarded. Normally I would call our ISP's customer service in high hopes they could help me fix whatever the hell's wrong but I guess the things I've experienced with their techs painted such an ugly picture that I dare not to deal with them again. So when our poor excuse...
Not sure why it is a public holiday on Monday - maybe something to do with the Queen's fake birthday? who knows - but I plan on taking advantage of it. The housemate has friends coming to visit, which is a bit of a bummer because I wanted to do some deeply gross house mooching / wear my daggy track...
Posted by: Jesse Sartain Author: Stephanie Larkin Imagine getting home from work to the tantalizing smell of dinner, ready to dish out, hot and delicious. For a busy working mom, corporate couple or live-alone single, that's a dream that doesn't seem likely, unless you can afford your own chef. But...
It's funny, there's the little things that you just take for granted, which when you're in a different culture, just come off as plain old foreign. Like, joking with your boss; or using real milk in a cup of coffee instead of some powdered substitute; or actually leaving work when you're finished;...

The art of actually preparing a meal has become a thing of the past. Who among us (who is not collecting on a bogus personal injury claim) has the time to seek out the various ingredients needed to prepare a proper meal, not to mention all of the digit-endangering chopping and preparation, setting...
A few weekends ago I had to go into work on the weekend (which is one of the things that I dread most), so I dragged my boyfriend along to grab lunch afterwards. Hehe the 30 minute walk to work in the cold weather is a bit more bearable when there's someone with you, and a hot lunch afterwards is...
On October 1st there was an article on School Library Journal online by Anita Silvey that got Children's Literature people and Librarians buzzing. (Those of you not interested in Children's Lit. can take a pass on this entry). It criticised ALSC's Newbery Award for not picking books kids like to...
