“Oh, did a sportsball happen?” I whisper smugly from my vantage point on a distant cliff, the sounds of celebration in the village far below just barely audible over the lonely wind whipping my tattered cloak

I’m in CoreLife munching on a salad, but am really in the dressing room of Express thanks to this downtempo dance music. I can feel the thinness of the sweaters as I chew.

Happy Kansas Day, my friends! I remember the buffalo, the sunflowers, the cottonwood trees. Ad astra per aspera rooted deep within me.

Tired of hearing that AOL dial up noise every time you want to check your electronic mail? The sequel to the internet gets rid of all the hassle. Logging on to internet 2 you just hear some clicking. A dog barking .wav file and then just seven more clicks.

What I appreciate most about "Star Trek: The Original Series" is that most episodes feature computers catching on fire.

I just watched "Downey Wrote That," a documentary about the legendary comedy writer Jim Downey from SNL and Letterman. It talks about his love of the comedy of laboriously explaining things that don't require any explanation, as in this beautiful example: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vooe...

There's an older man in our neighborhood with a severe limp and he's a dead-ringer for Old Man Marley in 'Home Alone.' This morning, I was lucky enough to pull into the driveway just as he briskly walked by, so I'm all charged up with goodwill after he stopped to wish me well. 2026!

Just drove past the 90° West Longitude sign on the Interstate in western Illinois, putting us a quarter of the way around the world. Encouraging.

Due to being over-scheduled in December, I'm looking at a January 31 close to the Christmas movie season. And I'll hear no arguments against this legally-binding decision.

It’s going to be difficult for me to tell you how sad I am that Linux permissions prevented my automated shortwave radio recorder from capturing the annual live BBC broadcast of “Lessons and Carols.” But try anyway.

there should be a movie where a woman from a small town begrudgingly goes to the big city for the holidays and falls in love at first sight with ethiopian food
In the hallmark movies where the lady goes back home from the big city, they never talk about the game she must play pretending that the ethnic food in the small town is anywhere near as good as her family thinks it is. Just grimacing while eating mid Thai food.
