  • seared!

    Salon has a great interview with globetrotting, celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain, who I had an affinity for even before I found out that he too “misspent” his youth at Vassar (at least he got out).

    You’ll need a subscription to read the article or you can watch a brief commercial to get the Day Pass but […]

  • beyond the steps

    Bender’s new documentary that she’s been working on for the past year or so is showing tonight on PBS’s “Great Performances.”
    I first heard about it when she called me on her way to St. Petersburg and left the message, “Hey, I’m off to Russia for this Ailey doc that I’m producing.”
    Alvin Ailey…Russia?
    Here’s the lowdown from […]

  • dance for me, pacino!

    On Saturday, Mary Milan and I accompanied Mickey Minnesota and Janie Utah to see Al Pacino on stage in “a presentation with music” of Oscar Wilde’s Salome at the Wadsworth Theatre on the Veteran’s Administration grounds in West L.A.
    If you thought that just because Pacino was on stage, he wouldn’t “hoo-ah” his way through […]

  • pig candy is the future of gastronomic entertainment

    Considering that the cinetrix linked to my post about Terry Malick shooting bacon taped on walls, I guess it was fitting that she sent me on assignment to stalk Mr. Manola Dargis at his new restaurant which is why she had first dibs on my review. Now that she’s published it, I’m not […]

  • don’t jack up my enamel!

    Went to the dentist today. While she didn’t drill, she scraped and scraped which made me very nervous because dentists always tell you to use soft bristle toothbrushes and to not brush too hard because you’ll ruin your enamel.
    So what the hell is up with all that scraping? Everytime I heard the metal […]

  • don’t stick anything into your ear smaller than your elbow.

    As some of you have consistently been referred to my little patch of internet by googling ”ear lavage” and turning up this post about that kidney bean of wax that was flushed out of my ear, I figured it would be irresponsible not to link to these two Boing Boing posts about how the Japanese love to dig […]

  • louie cincinnati’s got himself a blog

    I should say Blue Mandarin’s got himself a blog.  In addition to beseeching you to go see Fixed at the Silverlake Film Festival in his first post (why start a blog if not self-promoting, no?), he also tackles ”happiness” by comparing his recent success to a cousin just recently wrote a book on “how to be happy”:
    …but does […]
