Shia LaBeouf on Letterman last night. His entire spot, almost eclipsing Dave. A natural storyteller. Hilarious. (via People)...

Still have to put laundry away. Made food last night, egg noodles with mushrooms and green onions. Was yum, could add a dollop of sour cream next time if you want. Have leftover noodles fried in butter for lunch. Also yum.Had decent night with Tom, which is nice. Realized we totally forgot his study...

So how was everyone’s Mother’s Day this year? Now we’re two days past it and I can honestly say that it was the best one I’ve ever had. In the past it’s been okay, but there was always too much other stuff going on and it felt anti-climatic. This year was great. It was ...

SFist recently went to one of Robin William’s practice sessions at Bimbo’s and it rekindled our interest in comedy as a way to cope with national politics. The Daily Show has long been a bright spot on that front, thanks in part to the writing of Paul Mecurio. Mecurio has won both an Emmy and a ...

I posted not too long ago about the spanking trope of "not being able to sit down afterwards", and how it's not something that affects me much. Well, this is me eating my words. I've just spent two days making a very intimate, intense three-part film with my Mr C. Returning to reality has been accom...

I've just returned after a gruelling drive to Sydney and back. 320 km each way, call it 400 miles for the round-trip. But worthwhile.

When I was a kid in the 70’s we kept cool by staying outside rather than inside. Hardly anyone from the old neighborhood on 50th Avenue in Elmhurst, Queens had air conditioning then. Some of the people in the newer apartments had a Fedders unit under a window, but no one I knew had it. In the ...

A couple in their nineties are both having problems remembering things. During a checkup, the doctor tells them that they are physically okay, but they might want to start writing things down to help them remember. Later that night, while watching TV, the old man gets up from his chair. "Want anythi...

Yesterday morning it was raining. It poured all day long but it was especially bad in the morning. Nothing is worse than a cold rainy Monday morning. I parked my car in Monkeytown and trudged to the office avoiding the puddles and cursing the resurgent winter for all it's rain and cold. Of course th...

Well, it's Tuesday again.... I have a busy day ahead of me. Tonight is the closing for our youth group. We're having a barbecue and then some special music done by our very own teens. I have to make a huge batch of chocolate sauce for the ice cream that is our dessert at the end of the night. Hubby ...
