Not Safe For Work
Actually, this probably isn’t safe for most homes, either. Brought to you by Kevin Smith and the cast of his new movie, Zack and Miri Make a Porno: (If you’re wondering where this came from, see Salon.com’s chronology of effing…
Oscar Fever
On Sunday, D and I threw our annual Oscar Party to watch the Academy Awards with friends. Favorite moment: our audience’s boo/yay/meh cheers for each movie during the 80-years-of-Best-Pictures montage. (Gladiator: BOO! Lord of the Rings: YAY! Crash: meh.) Nearly…

Actors support the writers’ strike: In other news: Yup, I’ve finished my 50,000+ word NaNoWriMo novel for this year! I feel somewhat less successful and triumphant than the last two years, since I wasn’t able to finish the complete story…
