  • Hele on to Oahu

    Tomorrow afternoon, Morah and I head out for Hawaii! I’m so excited to =finally= go home again. It’s been about five years since I was last in Honolulu and I’m told a lot has changed. This trip will be doubly nice for Morah because not has she never been to Hawaii before, but now she’ll…

  • Gregory House

    Has anyone else noticed that the title character of Fox’s new show House has the same name as a death-row inmate?

  • More Fire Alarm Fun

    What the fuck is wrong with people? I mean, seriously. How many fire drills did you do when you were in school? A million? Two million? =EVERYONE= knows that when a fire alarm goes off, you’re supposed to get out of the building and stand back. Well back. But, as you may recall from my…

  • NaNoWriMo Update: Week Two Begins

    I recently received what is, quite possibly, the single best example of a mass e-mail that felt as though it had been written for me alone. Here it is (in its unashamed truth and glory): Dear Writer, Here we are. Week Two. If there were a zodiac sign for each cycle of the noveling escapade,…

  • Viewer Comments

    Here’s one I meant to post a long time ago and recently found while doing some cleaning. TV stations like to post viewer comments in their employee break rooms because, quite frankly, it’s fun to laugh at stupid people. So this guy called us up to complain and, since one was around at four in…
