I am taking the day off from blogging. However, I have to give the prez a shout-out for stocking up on the Honest Tea–one of my own personal faves. I may have to pick some up after tai chi this afternoon. That’s some good drinking right there.

Udate: I just read the headline that the mother’s mother said her daughter was obsessed with having kids and this has to stop. Um, too little too late. I am not one for involuntary tube-tying, but I will make an exception in this case–and in the case of Michelle Duggars.
Gah. What the–huh? Is she fucking [...]

Breaking News:
Illinois Senate unanimously ousts Blago! Plus, they unanimously bar him from ever working in an Illinois public office again. What a surprise.
Yes, I am still pissed off at the Republicans, and I fully intended to rant about them today–but something else came up. I was listening to NPR, and the subject of the [...]

I was going to write about how wrong-headed, misguided, stubborn, racist, and, frankly, idiotic the House and Senate Republicans are being, but that will have to wait. I have something more pressing on my mind, and I am sure the Republicans in the United States Congress will be just as stupid tomorrow as they are [...]

So, Rizzo (friend in France) thinks she can distract me with luscious pictures of Alan Rickman and Jason Isaacs, does she? Well, two can play at that game. Today, up for your perusal are reviews of the second and third Harry Potter movies, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and Harry Potter and the [...]

I watched Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets tonight, and I realized one thing. It is better to watch the Potter movies long after you’ve read the books so you don’t remember what the hell is going on. Come on, Harry Potter fans! Admit it. You know it’s true. Once you read [...]

I just finished reading the third Harry Potter book about a week ago. To my surprise, I enjoyed it immensely. Why do I say to my surprise? Because I didn’t care for the first two books. In fact, it took me awhile to summon my courage to read book three. The only way [...]

Today, I have posted three movie reviews I wrote a long time ago. I put them all in the ‘read after you watch’ the movie category, but you can also read them before-hand if you want to know what the main plot of the movies are. I can guarantee that you probably haven’t watched two [...]

Happy New Year, y’all. How apropos that I saw the movie, January Man, last night. I bought it sight unseen because it has, yes, you guessed it, Alan Rickman. It also has Susan Sarandon, which is an added bonus. Kevin Kline doesn’t do a thing for me, but Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio isn’t too [...]

I just saw a movie which has no redeeming characters, where it would be kind to call the plot transparent, and that doesn’t seem to think there’s a single shred of human decency anywhere. Like a reviewer on IMDB.com, I labored under the misperception that this movie was a comedy—most likely because Hugh [...]
