You Will Believe a God Can Get Hit by an RV

11 May 2011

At some point, my desire to consistently update this blog was outstripped by my desire to do as little as possible during my free time.  These are both powerful desires within me, often warring desires, and the latter one was the victor in their constant struggle for far, far too long.  I had made some [...]

In A World…

9 May 2011

After a funeral two weeks ago and a christening this weekend, I’ve now been to church on two consecutive weekends and 2011 is now officially the year I have been to church more times than any year since 2008.  I was describing Tiniest Niece’s christening to Natasha last night, and it struck me that, in [...]

It’s Cinco de Mayo

5 May 2011

So celebrate the independence of another country that you’re likely to never go to (outside of those awful parasitic resort towns who mint currency based on their ability to conceal what being in that country is actually like) by 1. Drinking Five of Everything 2. Drinking Until You See Five of Everything 3. Drinking All [...]

The Incident

3 May 2011

Comics culture is very caught up right now with Superman renouncing his American citizenship in last week’s Action Comics #900.*  David Goyer’s story, “The Incident” is perhaps the most noteworthy addition to the anniversary issue, but it’s not because of the citizenship controversy; it’s because “The Incident” is maybe the worst and most out-of-character Superman [...]

The First Rule of Dinner Club

14 April 2011

You don’t talk about Dinner Club. So, Natasha and I are having a culinary mac and cheese adventure tonight, and it reminds me that I have long been starving to attempt an Underground Dining Club – the idea is as old in my brain as the bacon cheesecake at least. I still really want to [...]

Best Food Truck Idea Ever

5 April 2011

Those of you who speak to me regularly in person know that I’ve been gripped with a mania for the humble food truck of late – it’s something we have an anti-surfeit of in Northeast PA, and several of my entrepreneurial flights of fancy of late have been shaped like food trucks that I would [...]

All Eternals Deck

29 March 2011

It is easy to write a song about being in pain. It’s equally easy to write a song about vapid joy. It takes some serious work and probably a lot of trauma, too, to write a song that seems to at times vacillate between the two, as is the case with “Estate Sale Sign,” a [...]

I am posting this from my iPad. Because I can. Gloat gloat. I’m done now. Honest.

The Week In #sexdoctors, March 16, 2011

16 March 2011

No musical episode of “Grey’s” until March 30? I feel lied to. Because we’ve all been waiting for so long to see Seattle Grace Mercy West go to the same drug-fueled, song-filled well where the docs of Sacred Heart and Princeton-Plainsboro have already drunk deeply. I’ve been debating the reality of the Seattle Grace ‘ghosts’ [...]

The Week in #sexdoctors, February 28-March 4, 2011

7 March 2011

[Welcome to a new recurring feature on this site. Whenever possible, this is where you'll find snarky recaps of the televised exploits of ABC's various casts of sexy doctors who have sex while shouting about ethics, doing experimental surgeries and getting blind drunk. ] Both “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Private Practice” took a week off last [...]
