My Proposal for The Greying of America

Homer: Marge, please, old people don't need companionship. They need to be isolated and studied so it can be determined what nutrients they have that might be extracted for our personal use.
Marge: Homer, would you please stop reading that Ross Perot pamphlet?


At one time I had a special fondness for...

It Was A Very Good Month

Regular readers of my writing and casual friends alike will know that I'm a sucker for old black-and-white movies, screwball comedies and mysteries in particular. This month, my dear, dear friends at TCM gave me an early Christmas present. Here's a rundown of what they were broadcasting weekday mornings and early afternoons for most of...

The Last College Football Post of the Year

Barring a groundswell of demand for it (just one of you try asking and see what happens), I will not be posting an end of season analysis of Big Ten football, mainly because the Big Ten sucked this year. But I will post the following video. It's the mark of a good official...

Memories Of My Youth

A brief window into my childhood misspent in front of the TV....



The main element here is that it was the daily afternoon broadcast on Channel 32 (WFLD-TV). Little Rascals and Three Stooges every day. It's important that I stress that I was raised on the classics.


As a childhood insomniac who loved old movies, the late...

Anhedonia

The important thing to understand about being a wretch is that even when you get what you want, you're still not happy. Case in point: several years ago, actually as recently as '05, I had no life at all. Sat around miserable all the time, mainly because I didn't really have anyone to hang with, even if I did, I...

well after so many seasons at the bottom of the barrel in the NHL, they are due to be a .500 team sooner or later...

with Benson as your running back, there is no way in hell the Bears can have a good running game. He is such a bust, I hope the Bears never draft in the top 10 ever again puke

My Briefest Entry Ever

I was going to make an entry detailing what's been running around my life lately, but then I remembered the words of my cousin Bill, "There's no sense in telling people about your problems. Half the people think you got what was coming to you and the other half just don't care," And he's right. So I'll...

annisa:
I always hate when I find myself telling someone my problems..I don't know why, maybe I feel like it is whining..I am babbling..I still seem to be jet lagged surreal

I don't know if I would particularly agree with your cousin though, but I don't really know the situation..it just sounded harsh

At The Half

So the Big Ten football season is now half over Here's where things stand:

Ohio State (3-0 conference, 6-0 overall) After beating Purdue, they've become the best team in the conference by default. Their win against Washington had more credibility when Washington gave USC a run for their money last week, but USC just lost to Stanford. So...

The Wheels of Progress grind slowly

Looking around my condo, you'd never know that just an hour ago it was all but impassable for the bags of garbage, and slabs of drywall and ceramic tile. But now that demolition work on the bathroom is done, all I have remaining in the main room is the bathroom door, the vanity cabinet, and...

Thank you!

It always makes me happy to hear people who can see his later writing was a ghost of what could have been!

one of the worst experiences of my movie going life was seeing Fear and Loathing on opening night... The people there and what they thought it all meant... Jesus wept.

At the end of the first quarter...

Three weeks into the Big Ten season and what more have we learned?

Indiana (defeated Akron 41-24) Teams that face Indiana have every good reason to fear the Kellen Lewis-to-James-Hardy passing tandem. Lewis can run the ball pretty well, too. Akron made it clear they would concede the running game, but nobody expected Lewis...
