Today has been a crazy day of downtown gallivanting, present-buying, spaghetti-eating, zombie-killing goodness so I am too tired to post much of anything . . . except this because it is too awesome to ignore. I always thought behind his book-loving, Emmy-winning, space-adventuring facade, LeVar Burton was secretly gangsta. (My apologies if you’re offended by [...]

I Think My Work Scanner Is Racist

As part of my job, I edit flats of academic texts. We are supplied photocopies of our texts which we then scan so we can correct printing margins etc. Today, I was working on a book about Issues in Culture Sensitivity which featured a picture of a small white child dressed as an angel and [...]
Bad Messages From Movies

This morning, I came across an article on Wired entitled Top 10 Bad Messages From Good Movies which cracked me up. It also got me to thinking about a bunch of movies/stories I’d seen that also fit the bill, so I thought it would be fun to add on to the list. So without further [...]
Oh The Drama, The Drama . . .

When I was much younger, I used to love drama. I thought it made things fun and interesting. I mean who was interested in contentment? That sounded downright dull! I wanted the excitement and adventure that came with emotional uncertainty! A prime example of this was my two year emotional rollercoaster of a whatever with [...]
Prenatal Nerdery

I just sent this image to my Brother-in-Law . . . This is either going to be the nerdiest or scariest child EVER. So far Smee doesn’t look much like anything in his/her ultrasound pics (except for a pirate ghost, maybe?), but it makes me think a little bit about what the far future Park [...]
I Would Be Tragically Uncool Then

I know this is old, but I was just thinking about it this morning, so I thought I would post it . . . “Cool Guys Don’t Look At Explosions” by The Lonely Island featuring Will Ferrell and J.J. Abrams. Mark Wahlberg is wearing a hat!
Things That Shouldn’t Exist But Do: Boogie Town

You know how dance movies these days are always trying to show how tough the world of dance is? Well it seems like this movie has taken it to the next level of EXTREME*. Apparently, in the world of Boogie Town, there is a war about to begin and it can only be stopped by BATTLE [...]
Oh Lloyd Dobler, What Has Happened To You?

Way, way back in the day, I used to love John Cusack. Sure, the dude is 16 years older than me, but when I saw him at 14 in Say Anything, a serious crush flourished. I mean who wouldn’t love a dude who (albeit fictionally) sends you blue enveloped post coitial letters and holds a [...]
All Your Lap Are Belong To Us!

Whenever I flop down on the couch, Bean makes sure that I know that my lap is her property and that I am just here for her comfort and entertainment. First she gives me the grump face. Then the evil, upside-down “I’m watching you” face. Then she falls asleep looking like a little angel. But [...]
Damn You, J.Crew!

While there are many good things about living in Canada, one of the things that sucks is that there a good many stores that Americans have that we don’t. One such store is J.Crew*. I am kind of obsessed with J.Crew as I have bought a few things on trips down to the States and [...]
