October 30 - in Washington D.C.
The Rally to Restore Sanity

Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert are having an anti-Glen-Beck rally in DC next month! I am soooo there!

Is it for realz? They seem to be saying on multiple shows stuff about it. If my buddies in Alexandria give me the okay about staying at their place, I am really going, dawg ( Read more... )

Funny that I should duck into a nearby movie house this afternoon to see the latest SHREK FOREVER AFTER movie, the day after I watched a DVD that J4 gave me for my birthday, the French with English subtitles movie PERSEPOLIS. Both were animated and both were about a character whose arc was that they didn't feel authentic or where they belonged ( Read more... )

We stayed really busy in Wrocław, a lot of stuff outside the apartment, which is what you do living in a small place in the town center. Anna likes sleeping in, so I snoozed in my stack of foam matresses in their living room with earplugs in and an eye mask on as long as I could. The first morning, after tossing and turning, I slept right through ( Read more... )

Let's see, I'm so behind in my travelogue... this is about Tuesday May 4th. Russ had arrived by train from Poland the evening before.

I saw the funky Fernsehturm-- Berlin television tower with a ball at the top that has a restaurant-- from a distance. I also saw a lot of the Reunited Germany stuff everywhere. They've torn down a lot ( Read more... )

Friday night on my trip to Europe, Bob and Katie showed me the Zehlendorf area just down Clay Allee from their neighborhood. Plus, we invited ourselves into an apartment down there where their oldest girl, Quinn was spending the night with a friend. The family had only recently moved in, and it was a cool old WWII era building with tall ceilings ( Read more... )

Well, the Streamy Awards 2010 I read were abysmal, badly managed, low quality humor. Except for Felicia Day won best female lead actress for THE GUILD, yay! Shout-out to an Austin girl, go 'Horns!

And I learned about this ongoing Web show which I really like. AutoTune the News. Funny, silly, and still with a political punch. Plus, the music is ( Read more... )
