I saw the most hilarious movie today: Prince Valiant, circa 1956. It stars Robert Wagner, one of the Harts from Hart to Hart and Number Two from Austin Powers. It also has James Mason and Psycho’s Janet Leigh. I don’t think this was intended to be a funny movie. But it is. We saw it […]

Okay, I take back what I said about how cool all of the Charlie Brown soundtracks must be. The soundtrack to Race for Your Life, Charlie Brown stinks. In fact, I’ve got a bone to pick about this movie in general. Have Charlie Brown’s friends always been so mean and inconsiderate? I mean, I knew […]

My son’s new favorite pastime is being thrown around. He’s been cooped up with mom and dad for the past few days and, although we’ve tried to take him out and wear him out, he’s been quite the ornery little bugger.

If you ever get the chance, […]

Ok, so I’ve discovered that it’s much warmer outside than it is inside. This gave me an idea: perhaps all of the blower units are still on in the building. So I went through and turned all of them off, since they were only coughing out cold air.
We’ll see if that helps.
In the meantime, I’ll […]

Do you remember my incessant bitching about how hot it was in this library a few weeks ago? I told you that the A/C was broken and nobody cared and yadda yadda yadda it sucked? Remember?
Well, the A/C still isn’t fixed. And now guess what?
It’s cold.
It’s so cold my nose is red.
I’m not kidding.

I am thankful for my old friends. I love my friends. Friends are the people who enjoy being around you. Friends are the people you enjoy being around. Friends are the people you share things, thoughts and love with. Life does not take place in a vacuum. Interaction is necessary for growth. These are the […]
