You get harassed via email by strangers who think they know better than you and are also somewhat illiterate. I just HAVE to post the email correspondence that I've had this morning with a guy who responded to my free dresser ad: Robby Fri, Feb 29, 2008 at 9:25 AM To: sale-591065651@craigslist.org I can come [...]
55 "New" Questions
My brain is in meme mode. Therefore… 1. Are you taller than your best friend? No. I am not taller than many people. 2. Do you have a favorite type of pen? Gel or fine point sharpie. 3. Look at your planner for March 8th, what are you doing? Nothing in there yet but it [...]
Semi-Pro is Semi-Funny
X-Posted from The Reel. I used to think that the hardest reviews to write were those for films that I really loved. There are, it seems, far fewer interesting ways to say you love a film than to say it stinks. As Harvey Danger says, “Happiness writes white”. It turns out that there is a [...]
NFT Radar: Café Presse
X-Posted from Not For Tourists. I must be late to the Café Presse party because when we got there for dinner on a Thursday, we were told there was a 45-minute wait. I’m glad we endured, because we were seated in 20 and, I’m pleased to report, served fare that lived up to the hype. [...]
Film Threat Review: Life with Fiona
X-Posted from Film Threat. 2007, Un-rated 85 minutes 1 Star Writer/Director/”actor” Greg Lobb looks and sounds exactly like John Hodgman. Unfortunately, that’s where the similarities end. While Daily Show correspondent, satirist, and P.C. anti-spokesperson Hodgman has an intellectual buffoonish charm, Greg Lobb makes me want to “lobb”. I can’t believe I spent 85 minutes with [...]
Film Threat Review: Bookie
X-Posted from Film Threat. 2007, Un-rated 18 minutes 3 Stars It’s not an easy feat for a low-budget short film to succeed in transporting you to another time and place. Most often, the end result smacks of community theatre because that’s probably also where they borrowed their costumes from. That’s why Tran Quoc Bao’s “Bookie” [...]
Film Threat Review: Last Stop for Paul
X-Posted from Film Threat. 2007, Un-rated 83 minutes 2 Stars “Last Stop for Paul” is yet another vanity indie film in which the writer, director and “star” is all one guy. One very uninteresting guy named Neil. I’ll start with saying something nice because I’m told if I don’t do that, I shouldn’t say anything [...]
Tragedy at Starbuck's
Yes, I'm referring to the massive corporate layoffs, but more importantly, I'm concerned, horrified and devastated by the decision of re-instated CEO, Howard Schultz, to do away with the hot breakfast sandwiches. Um…what?! No good reason is given for this. As far as I can tell, they are incredibly popular. They are also pretty much [...]
Diablo Means Devil in Spanish
I love this video.
NFT Radar: Copper Gate
X-Posted from Not For Tourists. If you aren’t descended from the Vikings, it’s sometimes easy to forget that Ballard is the Little Scandinavia of Seattle. But the Copper Gate, with its unpronounceable menu and décor, is a potent reminder. The walls are adorned with paintings (some of them black light!) of Nordic beauties in the [...]
