Friday night, Daniel and I went to see “Be Cool,” John Travolta’s follow up to “Get Shorty.” Though I had heard it was only okay, I have to say that I really enjoyed this movie … particularly the first five or ten minutes, which was a nonstop series of lines that poked fun at the …
disappointing, yet not.
So today was the latest installment of the YAP book club, which in the 14 or 15 months I’ve been coordinating has only been cancelled once due to lack of interest. For the last week, I’ve been publicly singing the praises of March’s selection, “A Certain Chemistry” … and I was certainly looking forward to …
Houston, here I … er, WE … come!
Next week, I’m taking one of my semi-regular trips to Houston to visit TWU’s campus there. As, apparently, are a couple of IT guys and our president/chancellor. (Whoo hoo! Party in Houston! HA!) I mention it only because, as always turns out to be the case when I anticipate having any level of downtime, I’ve …
continued adulation
So, I thought I’d pull together a few excerpts from “A Certain Chemistry” to share with those who haven’t yet read the book … and maybe, in the process, convince a few of you to pick it up. To that end, check out just a few gems here. They’re all brilliant, in my estimation, in …
funny pictures.
Maybe I’m in an easily amused mood today. That would explain why I laughed out loud (at work) when I saw the cartoon at the bottom of this post of a neat “I’m an Intern in New York” blog I found today courtesy o’ Blogger. And, in other “cool blog” notes, please take a peek …
bloody brilliant.
Really, I am now utterly convinced that Mil Millington is today’s equivalent of a social Einstein. His observations about how men and women relate just strike me as genius. Witness today’s reposting of what is apparently an old Mil favorite: Angry Bed Positions. For reasons likely known only to me, I find this ditty — …
A Certain Chemistry
Yesterday, between naps and episodes of season 4 Frasier, I finished the last few pages of this month’s book club book, “A Certain Chemistry” by Mil Millington. I don’t say this often, folks, but this book was *fucking* hilarious. Seriously. (And if my potty mouth offends, first see the Ground Rules and then blame the …
The Pacifier
OK, people, I wasn’t expecting brilliance from Vin Diesel in “The Pacifier” — really, I wasn’t. The pleasant surprises first:* Lauren Graham, who I’ve always loved in Gilmore Girls, was really good.* The kids, particularly Max Thierot, were quite good. Max doesn’t have anything else of note in his IMDB profile, but I swear, I …
weekend round-up.
It was the best of times, and the worst of times. The best? Having my good friend AnnaLisa in town for about 68 of the best hours I could have imagined. We’ve almost never had that kind of time together uninterrupted … and it was fantastic! Among the highlights of her time here: two trips …
doing it halfway.
Tonight, right now, during my practicum shift, I will officially eclipse the halfway point for my practicum hours requirement (120 total by May 6, eeks!). I won’t lie and say it’s all been fun. I won’t even lie and say it’s been mostly fun. But it has been somewhat fun, at times, and in other …
