While emerging from sleep and into mobility, Liz uttered this profound query during a Today Show cooking segment:
Why does Rachael Ray make me want to kill?
Discuss!

For ages, I have pooh-poohed Joss Whedon’s “Firefly”, thinking it a silly trifle of network TV, the kind of thing that can’t stand up to “real” sci-fi. “It’s no ‘B5′,” said I, despite how my coworkers tried to change my mind. Then the trailer for the movie arrived, and I started to wonder […]

Okay, I think I am man enough to admit it…
Yes, I cried during the end of “Sex and the City”.
A lot.

Work is stress-tastic, but the evening has been pretty good.
Liz and I made fabulously tasty dinner (a rubbed flank steak with spiced cauliflower and leftover cornbread). We watched a little bit of the “Lilo & Stitch” show, and last night’s “Daily Show” (it’s always good when Bob Dole is on!).
I’m finally getting […]

Once again, I’ve let everything else distract me from posting for a few days, and now nothing is quite as fresh as it would have been. Oh well, let’s play catch-up anyway!
Overall, things are good. Work is still really stressful as we prepare for Valentine’s Day, but a string of really good days […]

Alas, another of the great ones has passed into the West…
Bob Keeshan, aka Captain Kangaroo, is dead.
Some part of me suspects that he’s really just moved to the same tropical island with Fred Rogers and Jim Henson, but the rest of me knows better. Both parts of me are equally saddened at his passing.

I am somewhat irritated, somewhat annoyed, and somewhat sad that I haven’t been blogging nearly as much as I would like to. I miss having a regular expressive outlet. Sometimes it seems like life is too trivial to bother writing about, other times it seems like it’s just too much effort, or that […]

This morning I had the overwhelming feeling that I should have just written off the day and gone back to bed. It turns out that my gut feeling was right, and I should really learn to listen to it more often.
Apparently I spent most of last night thrashing around in my sleep, as opposed […]

For the record, lazy weekends pretty much rule.
Friday night we watched Bowling for Columbine, which simply has to be seen to be believed. It’s scathingly funny and incredibly depressing at the same time. Brilliant.
Saturday we slept super-late, which felt great. We went out for lunch, which turned out to be a disappointment, […]

And with this news on the latest exploits of my pal Grover–whom, I might add, could kick Elmo’s scrawny little red ass back into whatever inferior kids show he belongs in, but he’s too nice a monster to do that sort of thing–I think it’s time to say goodnight.
