One of the many, many, many films I saw while sick for a week was Les Demoiselles de Rochefort, AKA The Young Girls of Rochefort, a highly colorful French musical choreographed by Gene Kelly and starring Catherine Deneuve and her sister Françoise Dorléac, who play fraternal twins trying to find love and a ride to Paris [...]

I am sick and tired of being sick and tired. I’ve had a sore throat now for seven days or so and it has been one bad trip all the way through, especially now that I’ve run out of Naproxen. I wish someone would bash my brains out and put an end to the shreeeking, [...]

This isn’t a blog, more a declaration of love.
I have been broke recently, and sick–sick as a dog for over five days now. My throat is burning, and for some reason I can’t seem to get anything to go down it except hot ramen noodles and a bit of mint soy ice cream. Even taking [...]

James St. James attends some weddings

I have a terrible sore throat today, so painful that I can’t even eat my lentil soup!
But this video of James St. James on The Daily Freakshow attending the newly-legal gay weddings in West Hollywood Park is both funny and kind of heartwarming. Watching this at least temporarily allowed me to forget the physical and [...]

The cowardly House of Representatives passed the dreadful FISA bill, but it’s now on the Senate’s plate, at a time when it’s stacked before the GI funding bill and the housing bill and the July 4th recess is hastily approaching.
Per the folks at DailyKos:
Nobody wants to go home for July 4th parades without passing the [...]

Over the weekend, I took my honey lamb out to the Ford Amphitheater for a little Mystery Science Theater 3000 reunion called “Cinematic Titanic,” an event that had roughly 2/3 of the cast of MST3K talking over a movie, live. It was kind of weird, hanging out with lots of upper-middle class people in their [...]

It’s been a rough couple days as far as money goes–most people in this country can relate, I’m sure!
To cheer myself up, I’m creating a new category of blog, in which I’m celebrating my favorite songs that incorporate the mightiest of all electric keyboards, the Farfisa! The first inductee for Farfisa Hall of Fame is [...]

A wonderful human being has gone missing and has been missing for three weeks. Her friends, and I consider myself one, have tried numerous ways of getting ahold of her, but the trail’s grown cold. If you live in Los Angeles, or just know who she is and where she’s been, please contact someone on [...]
