Barbara Stanwyck You scored 33% grit, 14% wit, 47% flair, and 21% class! You’re a tough dame, a bit of a spitfire, and you can even be a little dangerous, but you do it with such flair that almost all is forgiven (and even when it’s not, you’re still the most interesting woman in the […]

Some of you already know Gutterboy who is not only one of my favorite people on the whole Internet, but also a resident of New Orleans. He got out of town safely days ago *whew*, and although the damage in NOLA was severe, it seemed like the worst hadn’t happened there. Until this morning, when […]

Fairly boring weekend. Got Project: Paint the Basement almost finished and went to see The Brothers Grimm. Grimm has been getting really bad reviews all over the place, and for the life of me I can’t understand why. I’m just gonna chalk it up to reviewer stupidity. I think there are two kinds of movie […]

Have a Swayze kinda weekend, everybody!

For once I have some exciting news to share! I’ve known about this for a while, but I didn’t want to post until everything was confirmed and definite.

Your money, that is. My favorite glam chick, Marci, is doing a good deed for my favorite charity, Animal Friends: Pittsburgh’s only No-Kill shelter. This upcoming Sunday, she’s and her dog are participating in a fundraising walk for the shelter, and she’s collecting sponsorship money. So get out your wallets and pony up! Animal Friends […]

It really was. Thursday night we motored to Cleveland and saw DEVO, who were absolutely brilliant. Best concert experience I’ve had in quite some time. Nice venue, very enthusiastic crowd, few drunken louts, and of course the band is sheer genius. Friday morning we walked from our hotel to the science center for Bodyworlds. Got […]

Got this link on Loupy’s page, and I have to say, it’s pretty darn accurate. Your Birthdate: October 30 Your birthday on the 30th day of the month shows individual self-expression is necessary for your happiness. You tend to have a good way of expressing yourself with words, certainly in a manner that is clear […]

Can’t talk much today, I have a lot to do before we pack up the PT and drive to Cleveland tonight for… DEVO!!! Yessir, the world’s nerdiest band. I love them, go figure. Anyway, while we’re in Cleveland we’re planning to go to the Great Lakes Science Center to see the Bodyworlds 2 exhibit. I […]

This post is dedicated to Mae West, whose birthday is today. Everyone knows I’m a pretty big fan of Gap clothes, the jeans in particular. But right now I have a serious nit to pick with my favorite store. Gap has just introduced women’s jeans with different “fits.” They go like this: Curvy fit — […]

Yes I am! I almost forgot to tell you guys about this charming anectdote. This past Sunday, there was a birthday party for Crack Monkey over at the Crack House. Carloads of relatives and friends (Dubious. I still can’t believe he has any friends.) showed up, extorted gifts in hand. Thankfully, they were mostly adults, […]

…at our house yesterday! Instead of a stork, it was a big blue truck that dropped it off. Yup, it is DONE! And here! I never thought I’d live to see the day. BW finished everything up on Friday/Saturday, passed the inspection, then his dad dropped the cycle off Sunday afternoon. Now it’s snug in […]

I am so happy that that thing which I will not dignify by speaking its name plummeted in the box office and made less than half as much this week as it did last week. I won’t say it restores my faith in humanity, because if humanity had any decency, that thing would never have […]

“Shut yo’ mouth!” “But I’m talkin’ ’bout Gandalf” “We can dig it!” My best buddy is 11 today! Can I get a “right on!” ?

Miss Ellie Ewing has gone to the Southfork in the sky. I’ll always remember her telling Ray to fetch her the shotgun from the hall closet. Or making coffee. Or eating breakfast on the patio. Or arguing with Jock about the Takapa development project. *sigh* I guess all that feuding with JR and Bobby just […]

BWAHAHAHAHAHAAAA! Was ‘The Island’ cloned? WB, DreamWorks face legal woes over ‘Clonus’ As if the grosses for “The Island” weren’t bad enough, DreamWorks and Warner Bros. must now contend with legal woes related to the movie. The producers of 1979 indie pic “PARTS: THE CLONUS HORROR” filed suit Monday in federal court in Gotham alleging […]

Warning: Content-Free Gratuitous Fangirlie Post. Yeah, so we all know that The Island was just a really bad, big-budget uncredited remake of the former MST3K feature Parts: The Clonus Horror. (You guys knew that, right? Well now you do.) So crappy did it seem that I didn’t even bother seeing it, and it bombed resoundingly […]

Happy Birthday to Bobby the Mitch! They just don’t come any cooler than Mitch. He made some classics, he made some B-grade stinkers, he made a lot of noir and a lot of war movies, but Mitch was always totally watchable in ‘em all. He had a bad-boy image, but he didn’t care about image. […]

BW bought me a motorcycle helmet the other day! Granted, I don’t know if I’d ever be brave enough to ride anything except the old 1940′s three-wheeled Harley that doesn’t go above 40 mph, but just in case, it doesn’t hurt to have a helmet. I couldn’t find anything in the stores that I liked; […]

I may just have to recant my Jude Law fangirlism. No, I don’t care that he banged his nanny while engaged to Ms. Crayola-Crayon-Name Miller. I mean really, what did she expect from a man who’d just gotten out of an ugly divorce and who had probably cheated on said ex-wife with Ms. Miller in […]
