First, a funny update on things dead-mouse-related. my friend janet sent me an e-mail about her own cat and dead mouse story, and i do believe it’s more disgusting than mine: “I was teaching Owen the finer arts of cat box scooping, when we noticed a stray *poop*...

i wrote that it’d be nice if somebody stopped by to see me, but i figured nobody would – but then, yesterday afternoon, a guy came up to me and congratulated me on the wedding. i said thanks, and he said, you don’t remember me, do you, and i confessed that i...

that is the summation of my review of “into the woods,” now playing at new salem. it’s the musical that i don’t like. i don’t like the songs, i don’t like the music, i don’t like the singing. i saw it about 15 years ago when they did it at muni, and i had...

We just went out for a lovely birthday lunch at Bella Milano, the restaurant that’s out past the 12-plex movie theater. why doesn’t that movie complex have any kind of sign outside? there’s not even anything on the side of the building. what if i’m driving by and want...
