Star. Wars. Burlesque’d.
The following trailer probably is not safe for work – depending on where you work. If you can see this, then you might need a Flash Player upgrade or you need to install Flash Player if it's missing. Get Flash Player from Adobe. To paraphrase Han Solo, putting together a great burlesque show ain’t like dusting... »

To Do Saturday: Food and Art, In That Order
Apparently, the time to have an existentialist dilemma about which non-profit group will best use donations in a time of crisis is during the time of crisis.

Reader annoyed with a Fed Ex parking “tard” (his words not mine)
Reader Roky spotted this outside his apartment and took a pic. Not so much a tard as assholian in my book as he could have just as easily double parked in the street like the guys in brown do regularly on my street. Seriously, taking up 3 spaces in an already crowded apartment lot... »

Time to let go of ‘09 and get ready for a New Start. 2009 is almost finished, and while there have been some great things that have happened, been plenty to remember fondly and celebrate, there’s also been a good lot that I’m sure none of us will miss. Some things that we should... »
