  • 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…

  • Waiting for the 1:00 p.m. Bush press conference

    Ok, ok. A little happy dance today. Some people who used to vote repub proved themselves not quite so insane by voting, at least, against a portion of the insanity that’s been ruling America. That’s a cause to celebrate a little, no matter what happens next. I’m telling myself right now we won the Senate…

  • Oh, and of course…

    Oh, and of course, Marty and H.o.p. soundly sleeping, I’m sitting here trying not to think about Montana and Virginia. I very successfully avoided thinking about the Senate races all evening. Was all set for the Senate to be lost. But now that it’s down to Montana and Virginia I’m suddenly obsessed by them now…

  • 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…

  • Frankenstein's beautiful monsters

    So the veil between the physical world and spirit world thinned for an evening and a jackpot of candy came pouring through, the majority in orange, brown and gold wrappings, which I take it has to do with pumpkins and decaying leaves. Doing his duty in honoring the dead, H.o.p. dressed up as a zombie…
