The French Connection
Sundance Cinema had a one-night showing of The French Connection, one of those classic American movies I’ve seen bits and pieces of for more than thirty years but have never watched from beginning to end, and especially not in a movie theater, so we motored across town after supper, plopped ourselves in a couple of… Read.

this is your brain on drugs
Baby, The Rain Must Fall, the song in which Glenn Yarbrough uses weather as a metaphor to tell his gal why he wants to boink other women, has been playing on a loop in my head ALL FREAKIN’ DAY! Memory is a cruel thing. In thirty years I probably won’t be able to remember my… Read.

shake ya ass
Biking home from work I got stuck behind a guy who was showing off to anyone who would watch by leaning way back in his saddle and riding no-hands down the trail. We all felt so insignificant that we would never been as cool as he was. I would’ve passed him but, just as I… Read.

the catch
We were watching the movie John Carter of Mars about a week ago and there are two scenes – two! – where the princess of Helium, Dejah Thoris, falls from an airship, or some dizzingly high precipice, and John Carter prevents her from from going splat on the ground by jumping to an amazing height… Read.
