On Thursday and Friday, I was an extra (background performer) for episode 204 of Leverage, which is shooting their second season in Portland.* Since there’s a lot of waiting around during each day, I thought it would be fun to…
Reasons to Buy a Blu-ray Player
The way I see it, there are only three right now: Pushing Daisies, Season 1 Pushing Daisies, Season 2 LittleBigPlanet (NSFW) Because, let’s face it, if you’re going to spend $400 on a DVD player, you might as well get…

I am an old Jewish man
I know, I know. You thought I was a twelve-year-old girl, right? Well, that was Tuesday. This is Saturday. You gotta keep up here, JAFO. Last night, D and I watched the mostly atrocious Get Smart movie remake, which suffers…
