I am craving a bowl of pho. I haven’t had one in a couple of weeks.
There is something wonderfully ritualistic about separating the beef, carefully adding the basil in the center, jalapenos at the corners, hoison and red hot sauce at the corners, and a squirt of lime. Slurp a bit […]
I picked up some easy listening classical for a friend’s birthday a weekend or so ago, and while buying a Laserlight 5 cd set of classical meditation music (I go for quantity over quality when it comes to classical). While I was at the local Silver Platters I picked some cds for myself as […]
I went to Ocean Shores (a sleepy little resort town on the Washington coast) this last weekend to rest and relax. The night before I visited the local Barnes and Noble book store looking from something to read. I happened on an interesting book in a shiny hard cover dust jacket - Bobby […]
It is never good when your wife greets you on the phone with “Is there something you are not telling me?”. Of course, lots of things go through your head at that point. “There is a sign post in the yard. Like a for sale sign. Did you order this?” […]
Having seen Shane MacGowan drive a large number of testosterone and beer fueled young men into a frenzy by coming on stage really late and really, really drunk, I am not surprised that he got attacked in a London pub this week.
Guardian Online has a piece on Salman Rushdie and how he is about to be married for the fourth time, which, I guess, is not totally surprising. Of course, she is 32 to his 56. I am all for people falling in love with whoever, regardless of age, but I am tired of […]
Finally got around to watching P.T. Anderson’s Punk-Drunk Love. All my movie posts seem to start the same way - finallly, after many days of procrastination, after being sick, after going to Vegas, etc.
I liked the movie, but only because I thought the the last 20-30 minutes was fun. Before that […]
While in Las Vegas last month, Patty and I spent some time shopping in the big fashion mall, which features regular fashion shows in the middle of the mall. The lights, camera and lightshow computers were all very swank.
Obviously, if you are having a fashion show, there are more rules. As […]
But I laughed my way through Kill Bill, Volume 1 (and some people will think that I am sick bastard for it), and I can’t wait to see Kill Bill, Volume 2.
Not sure Patty will be up for it, given all the blood in the first one.
Or why I should never go outside.
I mowed the lawn this weekend and spent a good deal of time out in the sunshine. And now this week I am sick.
And not just one day sick, but sick from Monday until today. Of course, too busy and cranky to take the day […]
