  • Movies We Saw This Weekend

    I think this might be all that we do anymore. I mean, besides eat. Ah well, here they are (out of order): 1). Manchurian Candidate. Yeah, I don’t know. It was only o.k. (Sorry, movie critics everywhere, but I did actually exhale during the last 30 minutes of the movie). 2). Dirty Pretty Things Pretty…

  • A Sweet Saturday Morning: Writing From Home

    (This is a drawing hanging up in the hallway of the house we rent from). Later today, we’re heading to the Atlas Cafe to see Bob and Cass play their cello’s. Bob and Cass are our neighbors. Both of them are pretty great. And Bob (also a designer-type person) quits jobs like I do. Misery…

  • Days of Yore

    Two years ago today That is all.

  • Deadline

    I am considering canceling a happy hour tonight so I can watch this. I will serve wine for those party people who care to join me this Friday night. Edited to add: For anyone interested but not interested enough to sign up for free at New York Times, here is the official site for the…

  • Will Someone Please Call The Driver and Tell Him I'm Gonna Walk From Now On?

    (Please note: This post is an example as to why I don’t write about movies. Also, this post contains movie spoilage. You have been warned). I went alone, purchased a ticket for one and sat in a small theater at the Embarcadero. There were about 8 people in there with me. One girl was around…

  • Potato Buds

    Is it seen as totally absurd that I love Potato Buds? I can suck down some instant mashed. What’s wrong with me? Another pleasure: Root Beer.

  • Customer Service Needed in the Career Department

    This probably won’t be a surprise to many people who spend their days with me (whether it be online, offline, married to me, around the house, or just merely having to pass me by on a busy street) that I haven’t been consistently happy in quite some time. And once a week, or once a…

  • Movies

    This weekend we saw Bourne Supremacy. I dug both Bourne movies. Of course, it helps that Matt Damon is in both. Me gusta mucho. I’m super unbelievably excited about seeing Open Water. The actual movie site can be found here. (Warning: there is sound). Ocean dramas are the best (in my opinion). What a terrifying…

  • Elmo Ensues Terror.

    This is the funniest thing I’ve seen in a long, long time. It’s no wonder we’re all just slightly off. I can only hope that, while visiting NYC someday, Simone doesn’t run into the guy who walks around dressed up like a chicken and decide to beat him sensless for reasons probably unknown to her.…

  • Can Poo Hear Me Now?

    Today, we lost an important member of the Howley family, a member whose only job was helping keep the other members together, a member who helped us all reach out and touch someone. Today, my father’s cell phone was flushed down a toilet in New Jersey. Amen. Poor bastard. Never stood a chance. I’m not…
