Dropping The Blogging Ball (Again)
Well, I dropped the blogging ball again this month (fyi, it’s optic yellow like a tennis ball, bound in leather and several times heavier than a bowling ball). So many other writing projects kicked my ass so hard that I couldn’t squeeze the time in for a real blog post. In fact, I’ve actually been fitted…

RIP Glenn Frey: Husband. Father. The Coke Fiend From Let’s Get Harry.
This month we lost Glenn Frey, a consummate entertainer, at the age of 67. Frey is probably best known for his role as Spence, a coke-addled regular Joe from Illinois who, with his buddies, mounts a daring rescue of their buddy who’s being held hostage in Colombia in the 1986 film Let’s Get Harry. This film is…

Sorry, No Post This Month. But!
As the title implies (or explicitly states, if you want to split hairs), I wasn’t able to get around to writing a formal post for this month. Other projects, plus a fair amount of general chicanery, took precedence. Please know that your palpable disappointment will satiate my ego for weeks on end. However, I can offer you…

Going To Starbucks Can Be A Singularly Annoying Experience
Starbucks catches a lot of flak for its ubiquitousness, $5 lattes, just-short-of-snobbish air, and the feeling you get that the person taking your order possesses two more graduate degrees than yourself. But when you get down to it, these are minor quibbles. The brainchild of Howie Schultz, like any other mega-successful venture, has hit…

Blogs Are Mostly Terrible
I realize that the title of this post may seem incendiary and perhaps even a bit hypocritical. No, wait — hypocritical isn’t quite what I’m going for here. Damn, can’t come up with the right description. Maybe if I was a better blogger, the words would just pour forth from my fingertips like self-aggrandizement from The…

TV Recap: Press Your Luck, 1/23/85
By and large, the game shows foisted upon us these days blow. They all seem to be filmed on the same set, take themselves too seriously, and have hosts whose sole aim is to wring. Maximum. Tension. Out. Of. Every. Moment. Yeesh. I yearn for the heyday of game shows: the 1980s. Without getting too meta,…

Two Semi-Famous People Who Look Alike
These celebrity lookalikes have been stuck in my head for awhile. I know these two individuals aren’t exactly household names. But damnit, if I don’t point this out, who will? Certainly not those Wall Street fat cats or the lamestream media. I actually thought these guys were the same person for awhile. I refer, of course, to…

A Short List Of My Favorite People At The Gym
I go to the gym regularly. Working out is pretty monotonous, so I end up people-watching much of the time…until the instructor angrily asks me to leave the hot yoga class because I’m creeping the participants out. I have noticed, though, that this weird little ecosystem does contain some sharply-defined characters. Here are five. Let me…
