Today is the first day of my new eating regimen. I need to carve off some weight, as I feel like I have bloated up in the last two months or so. This is a terrible time corridor of the year for weight loss, what with Halloween candy, Thanksgiving, and all of December (perhaps the worst eating month of the year), but I need to...

Starting to feel confident that right wing religious republicans may soon not be holding the world at sway. I don't want to jinx it, tho'. Keep Sarah Palin working her "shuchks soccer mom" routine and I am pretty sure it will backfire with the very people it's supposed to impress, who may be mny things, but aren't stupid. I think the Republicans, after eight years...

So, I am watching "Speed Racer" on DVD,..

Did the directors (one of whom is a known trans-interest-if-not-gendered) try to make Christina Ricci (Speed's girlfriend) look like a young Susan Sarandon (Speed's mother)?

If so, ewww..

Do Rap Dudes understand that the movie Scarface (1983 version) isn't meant to be an endorsement of the "gangster" lifestyle (I refuse to spell it so it ends in "A")? I have read many the endorsement by some dude with letters for his name saying how "Scarface like...had to anyalticize his enemies, yo. Mufuc needed to strategerize this game."

PS. Why are vegans allowed to...

Does anyone really believe that McCain in the White House would mean things will change? Or Obama for that matter? Politicians sure like to throw that C-Word around a lot...to no usual avail.

Whose idea was it in the Nineties (and now) to put out soda brand variations? Back in the eighties, you basically had coke, diet coke, pepsi, diet pepsi, 7up, sprite, and dr. pepper as the "A List" sodas (I am from NJ--we don't call it "pop"). Sure, there were B-List sodas (sort of like George Segal was to Burt Reynolds) like Nehi and RC, but...

I actually walked out of a movie yesterday. I made it thru about ten minutes of "The Clone Wars" before I physically started to feel ill. I can't imagine it got better after the opening scenes. It was noisy...VERY VERY noisy. The animation was ugly...VERY VERY ugly. There was so much being thrown at me as a viewer that it felt like my head was...

There are a buttload of sets on this site where naked women bake cakes or brownies or some sort of pasty-esque goodness. Is there a correlation betwixt naked chicks and frosting that escapes me? I may be missing the point, but I am not sure I "get" the sets where a nude lady fixes up a dessert (I hate, by the way, people who profess...

So, I ate escargot last nite. Like all the people say (who? I dunno) it basically tasted like butter and garlic. Not bad! When I eat in a restaurant that has something odd or funky on the menu I feel compelled to try it, to add to my list of foods I've tried, like Steak Tartare or alligator.

I am seeing Weezer in September in...

I can watch old Siskel and Ebert reviews all day. Good stuff.

I worked an 11 and a half hour shift today. After, I went to Shop-Rite. I can't find my shoppers discount card so when I get rang up (rung up?) I give my phone number to get the phat-ass savings (yo). Tonight...
