Sarah Six-Pack September 30, 2008
I was curious as to whether Palin might be any more coherent when she was a little more in her element and “among friends,” so to speak, but that doesn’t seem to be the case at all — at least, not from where I stand. A few bits stood out to me…

Stephen King on Short Stories September 26, 2008
A short story is a different thing altogether—a short story is like a quick kiss in the dark from a stranger. That is not, of course, the same thing as an affair or a marriage, but kisses can be sweet, and their very brevity forms their own attraction.

Say what, Sarah? September 22, 2008
Y’know, I think one of the things that really bugs me about Sarah Palin is simply that all too often, when I’m reading transcriptions of statements she’s made, I have no idea what she’s saying. Well, okay, not no idea — generally it is possible to figure out what she’s trying to say — but her spoken grammar goes beyond the usual sloppiness one can expect in off-the-cuff spoken English into sheer gobbledygook.

Say Cheese! September 16, 2008

I’m a Case Study September 11, 2008
I’m a case study in a textbook — and, contrary to what might be believed, it’s not a psychological textbook. Rather, it’s the latest repercussion from my fifteen minutes of fame way back when.

Jazzy Genius September 10, 2008
While there’s been some grousing about the accuracy of iTunes 8’s new Genius feature, I’m getting a kick out of playing with it. Sure, it’s not always spot-on (though Apple says that will change over time as their database grows and the matching AI improves), but that lends a certain entertainment value to the playlists […]
