Happy Halloween!
27 Oct
This is Halloween
As such, there are lots of holiday-themed activities going on around the city. I won’t point out the obvious ones, (ok, maybe I will) but I did want to draw attention to the Center for Puppetry Arts and the Ghastly Dreadfuls show. I took my sister and we enjoyed the show; I thought [...]

A Moment of Silence, Please, for the Human Tornado
Rudy Ray Moore, aka Dolemite, passed away Sunday evening. If you’ve never seen any Dolemite films, you’re missing out. I named my cat Queen Bee after the madame in the movies. I can hear Rudy Ray Moore in pimp heaven now… “I’m gonna let ‘em know that Dolemite is back on the scene! I’m gonna [...]

Chicky Chicky Bang Bang
Apparently, there’s some truth to the rumor that chicken soup is good for colds. I’m too lazy to post a link so go Google it. (Isn’t it great that Google became a verb?) Regardless of what “science” says about it, a steaming bowl of warm homemade soup made with love (or something bearing a marked [...]

Drink yourself well
Well, it’s about that time. Temperature is starting to drop (ugh) and it’s soon to be cold season.

He hardly ever gets sick so I’ve never really had to take care of him before. (Usually it’s [...]

Happy Alien Invasion Day!
Yeah, today, in Alabama. Sounds like a great contact point for any extraterrestrials. Observe human beings at their finest. But hey, don’t take my word for it (thank you, LeVar Burton). Just ask psychic Blossom Goodchild. She’s got the message from the aliens about how they come in Love, [...]

Connecticut High Court overturns ban on gay marriage
Wo-hoo, chalk up another state for gay rights! It really sucks that something as important as extending fundamental civil liberties to gay couples has to be a piecemeal state-by-state effort, but I hoping Barack’s administration does something to remedy that (let’s just be honest, we all know he’s going to win). In the [...]

Dreaming of contraband pancakes
So, I really didn’t want to talk about this here, because it’s embarrassing and this is not really a personal diary blog, but this is kinda too funny not to share.
So, I’ve been dabbling with the South Beach diet since Sunday. Don’t ask me why. It’s insanity, I know. And for the [...]

Best of Both Worlds
No, it’s not the Miley Cyrus movie. Hotlanta + Octoberfest = Hotoberfest (I can’t claim credit for that one, thank goodness).
This Saturday, Oct. 4, 12-7, in Glenwood Park. There will be beer. And something about sustainability. Whatever that is. Public entry is free; entry to the Beer Garten (sigh) is $30 in advance, $35 at [...]
