"It all began on New Years day, in my 32nd year of being single. Once again I found myself on my own and going to my mother's annual turkey curry buffet. Every year she tries to fix me up with some bushy-haired, middle-aged bore and I feared this year would be no exception ( Read more... )

Anyone remember a few years ago when Antonio Bandares put out  a gazillion movies in a period of 2 or 3 years? And that it kind of backfired on him because people got sick of seeing his face?

Hope that doesn't happen with Hugh. Of course, I'm also hopeful that the next few movies will be better quality than Swordfish and Van Helsing (it would be ( Read more... )

Of course, I've been a running joke around here because my last official day of work was over 2 weeks ago, and yet I kept coming in every day. It was the best place for me to study for licensure and have free internet to take the online practice exams. Nevertheless, there has been much ( Read more... )
