Riding High on the Disgust-O-Meter
(Some of this written on March 1)
Before I begin today's sarcastic tirade, with its usual thinly-veiled allusions to very specific human beings (though I must admit, that term is feeling more and more like a stretch in my mind's eye), I wanted to say how surprised I am that the new David Fincher movie, Zodiac, is 2 hours and 40 minutes long.

Belated Birthday Booty Call
(As is usually the case, I overspent my birthday allowance well beyond acceptable parameters. What can I say--materialism is a lonely, deep hole to fill.)

Best/Worst Movies of 2006 (blah blah blah)
In a rare moment of down time in the ever-busy world of Collection Development, I have finally finished my selection of the best/worst/most mediocre films of 2006. Since people seem to respond more to numbers accompanied by titles in descending order than any critical reasoning for the inclusion/exclusion of a certain film, here is the simplified ( Read more... ) -
Today.
I always loathe those early-morning 'bulletins.' Yeah, we're supposed to get a lot of snow here ("a lot" in the context of a relatively snowless winter), and I initially suspected that that was why my father was knocking on my door at 7 fucking a.m. (Tuesdays and Thursdays allow me the 'luxury' of 'sleeping in' till 9:45). No, classes had not ( Read more... ) -

Attention Deficit Dis--moooooooooooooooo...
Braved this evening's inclement weather to catch a 9:30 showing of City Lights, with Charlie Chaplin. One other person from my class (plus an A/V geek whom she was friends with, obviously) was in attendance; at first I was pissed off when they started heckling the movie (about midway through), but as the DVD began to fuck up more and more often ( ( Read more... ) -

Today's Magic Number: 2
I was really debating this morning, when my cell-phone alarm rung my eardrums like a ball peen hammer at 8:15, and proceeded to go off thrice more before I actually had to get up ( Read more... ) -
D.A.M.M. (Dads Against Miserable Marriages)
Yesterday afternoon:
While searching/moving/disposing of cardboard boxes full of "mementos" from decades past, I stumbled upon a few surprising finds:
- a bunch of Valentines from my sixth-grade year
- several issues of Game Players magazine, the wittiest gaming publication of years past (not sure if it exists anymore ( Read more... )
