I didn’t find much bloggable today. I think I’ve got an addiction to online content. When there isn’t enough new stuff, I get bored and cranky. I’ll sit here obsessively clicking through my list of links, just waiting for the magic moment when Max or Brigita will publish their new material for the day. Obviously…

Huge hugs and good luck go out to my buddy Tara D, who’s competing in this acting/comedy/improv “Survivor” type thing at a Chicago theater tonight. It’s actually been going on for over a month now, and every show a few more people get voted off. Her opening monologue (which I saw when I went home…

Not that I was really looking forward to seeing it or anything, but it really cheeses me off that the UK will be seeing a censored version of Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. What, it’s okay for 12-year-olds to perv on a woman with 34DD breasts, but we can’t show her headbutting anybody? The knives and…

It doesn’t confer the legal status of “married”, but “it is hoped that it will be accepted as evidence in any dispute or civil action over…

Hey, Naked Man is at it again! That nudist I told you about before is planning to get nekkid in public again on July 1. You should check out the paintings he’d done in his spare time. The one at the bottom cracked me up.
