The rash of pregnacnies amongst people I know takes a new turn…smack into the my really good friends/people my age demographic. My heartiest congratulations to Ray and Elisa on their screaming-infant-to-be, they’re gonna be great parents (they’re already taking care of three dogs and two cats, how much more trouble can a baby be?). But ...

I’m so very, very proud of myself right now: I fixed something on my car all by myself! I did something more complicated than checking the oil! Granted, all I did was change a light bulb on my headlight, which, to my delight, does not require a degree in rocket science. All it required was ...

I’ve finally gotten around to adding Troy and Eu’s entertaining Urban Therapy blog to the list of Amigos Locos. They were nice enough to link to me a while back, and though their comments section seems to be plagued by either a comment-spambot or a prankster, their site is quite entertaining. Enjoy!

You giggle a lot more when you know said training is going to ensue tomorrow at 11am with a room full of comedians, actual and aspiring. This is totally going to make up for the enormous hangover I’m clearly going ...

Elmer Bernstein died today. He was a great movie composer, and he composed the scores to my two favorite movies of all time, The Great Escape and Airplane!. Take a look at his gargantuan list of credits, and I’ll bet one of your favorite movies is in there too.

When you drive as much as I do, you end up knowing every ass-backwards route to get where you’re going. And when you’re in your car as much as I am, you want to get the fuck out of the car as quickly as possible. Thus, today, I went the ridiculously long way around to ...
