Last night I was in a bar where Fox News was on with the sound turned off. All I could see was faces, clips, crawls, and captions. I tried not to watch, but I kept getting distracted by the movement on the screen, and then distracted by the fact thatContinue Reading
It is scheduled from 10 am Saturday October 18 through 10 am Sunday October 19. I have prepared an anti-mellow playlist for my ipod which is exactly one day long. It has a lot of X on it. Right now, I know of me and uly as designated cartoonists. dangerdaisyContinue Reading
A couple of weeks ago, I noticed a crude spray-paint job on Dino Rossi’s name on the large campaign sign in the yard of an insurance place near where I work. The McCain/Palin sign had a penis painted on it. Yesterday, I noticed that our neighbor’s Obama/Biden sign had beenContinue Reading
I have been informed that I am hosting a 24-hour comics day at my house on October 18. It will not be an entirely proper comics day, as it will go from 10 am on the 18th to 10 am on the 19th instead of from midnight to midnight. ButContinue Reading

I saw “Burn After Reading” and enjoyed it. I also saw a preview for a dreadful-looking farce by David “Scary Movie” Zucker called “An American Carol” which seems to have been constructed exclusively for purposes of allowing things like the real Bill O’Reilly to pop a Michael Moore impersonator inContinue Reading
Since this is LiveJournal, some of you might not know that I’m female. I also love the movie Fight Club. Love it a lot, actually. It’s on a short list of my favorites from the 1990s. I think of it as a generation-defining film, and it seems to me thatContinue Reading
I have no-lj-meme policy, but there is a Buffy quote meme going around, and so now I feel that I need to acknowledge it, somehow, without actually participating. Because if I break my no-meme policy now, suddenly it means that every time I see a new meme I will haveContinue Reading
