A singer/performer in my youth, I was a voice major at Indiana University, but became a lawyer when I moved to Arizona after I graduated...[Read More]
Well, it’s Saturday morning. Conrad’s taken Max for an outing, and I stayed home to clean our wretched house.
I’m poised to dig in but am of course procrastinating a bit first.
In looking for music to put on while I clean, I saw that there’s an all-Christmas music channel now. YAY! I do believe I’m ready [...]
There’s some kind of film over the skyline today. The view from our office isn’t too bad - you can see the mountains in the distance - but today they’re half obscured by some kind of mist. Is it smog? I wonder if there’s a pollution advisory today.
Paranormal Activity - the last time I talk [...]
So here’s a shocking revelation - I get kind of obsessed with things that catch my fancy. And when they’re shows or movies, I see them again. And again. And again.
And so when I got out of work a little early today, I stepped on the gas and made it to the theater just in [...]
This movie rocked my world. And I’d never even seen the previews or heard of it. I just was looking through the paper to see what movies were out, and the minute I saw the description, I knew this movie was for me!
I was a huge fan of The Blair Witch Project. I was NOT [...]
So I just got back from the workout room downstairs. The last time I was in there a girl had “Steel Magnolias” on the TV. I don’t care, I don’t use the TV but I don’t mind listening to whatever someone else has on.
I really hoped I’d be done before the part where Julia Roberts [...]
Well, for someone with a bank account balance still in the negative thousands (I hate PayPal) I’m in quite a good mood. Last week started off so rough but ended very nicely.
I was really happy with the way my latest theater article turned out. Couldn’t have picked a better fellow for my first “Spotlight On” [...]
Another morning, another Squaw Peak trip. Let’s make this an addiction.
Oh, and let’s also quit pigging out on gummy bears at night. Just because we are hiking doesn’t mean it’s cool to be doing that.
This morning was a pretty good day at the mountain. One guy passed me. I hate when people pass me, it’s [...]
I feel tired and lousy today, for a variety of reasons, so my wording of this particular blog entry is going to be a bit half-assed and scattershot. Sorry.
All the ways the movie (not necessarily the book) Julie and Julia is similar to the story of my book.
1) Julie is a late 20-early 30 something [...]
Yesterday was a great day. First we went and saw some of Julie and Julia. Not all, not yet. We saw the first 50 minutes or so, then we had to take off. We went to dinner and then to see The Fantasticks at Desert Stages. I’m going to do a review of that tomorrow [...]
So I know this isn’t exactly the most fascinating story in the world I’m about to tell. I won’t be selling movie rights to it, won’t be adapting it for the stage.
BUT I have to talk about what happened last night when Max insisted on watching Mamma Mia.
Max OD’ed on Mamma Mia last summer. [...]
