if all the world were a stage

i’d be totally frenched.  see, i hate theatre.  well, not theatre, musicals.  and not just in theatres.  in the movies, too.  although i know that the venues in which movies are played are called theatres as well.  and the soundtracks.  everything.  EVERYTHING about it. 
even my generational imperative for love of nostalgia, real, manufactured and otherwise, has [...]

they just keep tumbling along

maybe it’s because i’m from new york city, but this story tickles me pink.  also, i kind of secretly love tumbleweed.  seriously.  the name is awesomely literal, it’s random and it conjures up such specific iconography.

ah, the power of cheese

i don’t mean the literal foodstuff, cheese, though that clearly has it’s wonders and its merits.  no, kids, i refer to the sociological type of cheese.  and the creme de la creme of this cultural curd is, of course, B horror movies.
i have been traveling to and from cleveland almost non stop for the past [...]
