every year is getting shorter

My eyelids are not what they used to be. They are obviously out-of-shape. I don’t know if they need a heavy exercise regimen (blink, blink, blink) or less usage (i.e. more sleep) but they better start pulling their weight. I don’t want to see my mother’s eyes looking back at me when I look in […]

scary teachers

Should I be concerned about the high school teacher who encourages students to bring in roadkill for his taxidermy hobby? I think I’ll just be happy that there are not bats in our freezer any more.

movie thoughts

Chicka Nuts didn’t like Little Miss Sunshine. I thought it was wonderful. On the other hand, everyone in the world except me loved Adaptation and Lost in Translation. The popular Cold Mountain was the most depressing thing I have ever seen on screen. I love Wes Anderson movies EXCEPT for The Life Aquatic. With the […]
