Fabio With Fangs

Bored, irritable and utterly frustrated with life, I channeled my inner teenage girl and spent the last two hours of my Sunday shift watching the teen vampire fantasy Twilight.  This is my review.

Drunk on Sunday

While stepping outside to have a cigarette, I overheard a very interesting conversation between two intoxicated NFL fans yesterday.   I’m calling one fan Michael – he appeared to be in his 50’s, had a short beard, and was wearing a ballcap and sunglasses.  The other guy I’ll call Remy – he’s in every weekend, always [...]

Beyond the Palin

This is really Sarah Palin on the phone. She really thinks she’s talking to Nicolas Sarkozy. She’s really the vice presidential candidate of the Republican party. Reality has really lapped satire.

Tomb-stupid

I’m watching Tombstone on the History Channel.  I haven’t seen it in several years.  I’m amazed at how freakishly stupid this movie is, and am embarrassed that I ever admitted out loud to liking it.  The longer it goes, the dumber it gets. The shootout at the OK Corral was terrible – just watch the [...]
