Sheen

Epic Winning. So the New York Times has officially declared that there’s a new verb in town: Sheen. “Then we did some Charlie Sheen-ing and we were fine,” said Mr. Parker, to a roar of laughter. Added Mr. Stone: “We were just sheening our heads off.” But what, exactly, did that mean? Drinking? A raucous [...]

Latest Obsession: All things Pixar

Thank you Pixar, for making “family viewing time” palatable.  Actually, MORE than palatable.  When anyone says, “Can I watch something?” I’m the first to say, “What about THE INCREDIBLES?  UP?  TOY STORY 2, you know, the one with Jessie?  Or how about FINDING NEMO?” Even though I resent having to explain to a toddler or [...]

Move over, Justin Bieber

Move over, Justin Bieber by Medusa I just used the intertubes to divine the next recording sensation to sweep the nation.   And it’s not another teeny-bopper heartthrob with irritating hair.  Meet Isaac van Duzen Reeve, an arty composer of sad avant-garde electronic music.  Or maybe a newly rediscovered ironic 80’s Swedish cover band.  Or maybe [...]

What it Feels Like

Welcome new contributor Gretchen So I just started this amazing book.  Ok, it’s basically a bathroom reader, and yes, it’s published by Esquire magazine – but what it lacks in high brow-ness, it makes up for in awesome-ness.  It’s called WHAT IT FEELS LIKE, and is basically a collection of essays of first hand accounts [...]

Ice Ice…..is here again?

His name is Robert Matthew Van Winkle. Yes, this guy. I remember reading a Rolling Stone interview with him in the….must be the early ’90′s….when the reporter asked him why he never smiles in any of his photos (hey!  he’s right!  Look uppie uppie, no smiley smiley!) – and Vanilla Ice said, “Because some day [...]

A nut sack that hangs on the back of your vehicle

Jenny from Accounts Receivable has a little something to say today.  Take it away Jenny….. So the other day I was driving home from work and I came to a stop behind a truck…you know, one of those big manly type numbers.  And I’m sitting there grooving along to some tunes when I notice something [...]

Back to reality in the Berkshires

Sayonara iced coffee and sweaty backs and [...]

Sarah Palin

She coulda been our next….OH MY GOD DON’T SAY IT. Oh, and yes, these are still available:

Elva’s Old P.O.

Here lies the cutest Blue Q store I ever did see.  Elva’s Old P.O. on Monhegan Island, 10 miles off the coast of Maine.  You have to get there by boat.  There are only a dozen vehicles on the island (and some renegade golf carts). And I was lucky enough to be there (on vacation [...]
