I bought some headphones, blank hi-8mm videotapes, and computer screen cleaner from CVS. Total cost? $35. Wow. Expensive. I lost my last pair of headphones in a horrible seatbelt accident. I need more blank tapes in case I need to document anything interesting. My computer screen is filthy. It didn’t do a good job. Screen […]

Heard the nominees this morning. Got a lot of catching up to do as far as nominated films. Wanna see ”Adaptation” next. My review for ”Confessions” is as follows: A randy trip back to the past with Chuck Barris is made all the more interesting thanks to the revelation that he was a secret agent […]

Sitting in the Loew’s Cherry Hill multiplex waiting for ”Confessions of a Dangerous Mind” to start. The pooch is at Petsmart awaiting a thorough scrubbing and I am hoping he will survive until my return in a couple hours. The pre-movie slideshow they have going now is showing me each slide for only 5 seconds […]

Not wanting to deal with the events that transpired over the weekend, I got onto the plane Sunday evening clutching my copy of the Kurt Cobain Journal hardback. Very interesting to read his musings over the course of his band’s eventual rise to stardom. So far after 70 pages his diatribe is growing somewhat stagnant. […]

”High Flight” by John Gillespie Magee, Jr Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings; Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth Of sun-split clouds…and done a hundred things You have not dreamed of…wheeled and soared and swung High in the sunlit silence. Hov’ring there, I’ve […]

Dealing with the snow and cold weather has brought up something I never had a problem with in Houston — dry skin. I’m going through moisturizer at an alarming rate. People here call it ”Lowsh” (I’m spelling that phonetically). At first I thought I was having a poison ivy relapse from some garment that had […]

I know I still owe you the Oregon trip video. I’ve been busy, as expected. I only have 11 weeks left on the project before I return to Houston, so I am of course trying to take in as much as possible while I’m still here. The downside is figuring out how to take back […]

During the most recent Getting To Know Your Neighbor bash hosted by the downtown Philly condo I live in, I was talking to a neighbor about home improvement. My tiling experience, specifically. She had recently redone her bathroom floor, but this alledged handyman guy in the building who did the work had done a sub-sub-par […]

I was doing a search for ”what a strange trip” and found way too many articles titled that way, so I am joinging the fray. I heard a new Sleep Dentistry commercial on the radio today. It has been nearly two years since I wrote about it in my journal. They come right out and […]

I’m in Eugene, Oregon writing this using Dude’s wireless network. He’s sharing out his modem connection, so it feels just like 1997 except with the cool wireless twist. Mmmm. Good times. I have video that I’ll post of my little trip later this week. Going to be super busy at work so if my updates […]
