A line of rationalizations of your typically bad consumer, which is me

We just spent $700 on eyeglasses (and exams) for the adults at “America’s Best” and I’m still happy, at least for the moment. I’m the super easy consumer who tries to never buy anything but when I do I always expect incompetence and no accountability and as long as you are friendly and smile and…

Brownies are baking

My ISP hates me. I’d been watching C-Span, waiting for Bush to come on. Right at 1:00 p.m. my DSL stopped working, so I couldn’t watch C-Span (which I only get online) or follow any commentary elsewhere. So I watched on Fox news television which was the only channel coming in decently. When he was…

I cautiously try on a celebratory hat then replace it on the shelf for now…

Around here, Bush is synonymous with Mega Evil Fucking Bad. H.o.p. has grown up hearing it…is well aware. Y’know the old cartoon where Gallant is Good and Goofus is Bad, in simplifying ethics for H.o.p. Bush has pretty much stood for All Things Bad. “Would Bush do it? Well then that’s just what you don’t…

Some thoughts on "The Bicycle Thief"

[clear] Rita, Antonio, and his bike I’ve never been to Italy and don’t know the history of the unpitiably blank, suburban residential highrises which appear, for example, in Fellini’s “La Dolce Vita” and with which Vittorio De Sica’s “The Bicycle Thief” opens. I don’t know whether they’re public housing or privately constructed; they appear new…
