When thinking is a crime
In 2006 when Christopher Handley was accused of owning too much Manga, I didn’t hear about it. I heard about his sentencing yesterday. OK, so the basic story is that this guy, Christopher Handley, owns a crap load of Manga. As I understand it, Manga is Japanese Anime in book form. It comes in various [...]
An open letter to Anderson Cooper
Dear Anderson Cooper,
I’ve watched you on CNN for years, mostly because you’re always on, you’re charismatic, good looking, and you talk smart stuff. Like a good journalist, you rushed to Haiti and were one of the first on the scene. You’re fairly thorough in your reporting and you seem to try and bring in [...]
The Two Ryes
Once upon a time…
…I didn’t care what people thought. I didn’t think anyone was reading this blog and I felt free to write whatever the hell I pleased. Mostly, I talked about the days, the things that filled them, and the people who swerved in an out of my life. And then it happened, I [...]
The Addams Family Musical SuckFest 2009
Skipping over the real important aspects of my life like my wedding, my honeymoon, and how I spent my Thanksgiving vacation, I thought I’d concentrate on putting something up…anything. I came to the conclusion that I am often happiest when I write. Therefore, I shall write. I have also concluded that Twitter is, not the [...]
Swine Flu’s Coming! Everybody Panic!
When I read about Swine Flu, I have the same apprehension and cavewoman-like fear I did when I read about Bird Flu, West Nile Virus, Mad Cow Disease, Killer Bees, and the HDTV switch. The thought of a global epidemic reaching my door, making me sick, killing my loved ones, and panic in the streets…I [...]
Customer Service in the Recession
I should be packing for DC, but this made me so mad, I had to rant about it.
AJB and I ventured out to The Men’s Wearhouse to pick up 2 new suits, some shirts, ties, pocket squares, a belt, and braces. The suits were chosen, but needed to be tailored and were ready tonight. [...]
Alan Moore Was Right
About a year ago, AJB introduced me to a graphic novel he said changed his life. I felt that way about Sandman. We attended Comic-Con that year. There was a palpable fervor regarding the news that Watchmen was being made into a film. I attended the panel and was one of the first (2000) people [...]
It’s Just Not Professional
I’ve done business with some really amazing people and have gotten a good deal of repeat business from Craigslist. I’ve also met various inconsiderate jerks. For example: This week I answered an ad to shoot a wedding on the 7th. I was thrilled when I got a response asking if I was available and what [...]
Oh What a Night
I woke up yesterday in such a good mood. I was going to see THE Frankie Valli with my Mom and JCS. A storm was brewing, but it wasn’t just the rain. I guess most families fall into the category of irrational and dramatic, so I can take comfort in knowing I’m not alone. Eh, [...]
