Cars are dumb, and I am too.

So I got the car-recall thing taken care of this morning, at the ungodly hour of 8 a.m.
I went to the Chevy dealer down the street, which was weird, because I always go to a fast-lube kinda joint for my oil changes et cetera, and I haven’t been to a dealer since I bought […]

Tina Fey’s hotness: A double-edged sword

“Mean Girls” is the first teen flick I’ve wanted to see in a long while, and this only because it was written by the fantastically talented Tina Fey and based on the book “Queen Bees and Wannabes.”
I think a lot of folks out there feel the same way. And I’m glad she’s finally getting […]

The problem with Corporate ownership of news outlets …

Is that news consumers suffer when journalistic decisions come from the corporate end, and not the journalists.

From a David Folkenflik article in the Sun today:

The Sinclair Broadcast Group will yank Nightline from its seven ABC stations tonight because of a plan to devote the show to reading the names of the hundreds of American […]

Apartments are for the birds.

Dear Ann Landers,
My husband and I have lived in the same apartment for almost two years, on the ground-floor of a three-story building.
We have a neighbor who lives directly above us, on the third floor, who enjoys decorating his porch with windchimes, plants, ribbons, and birdfeeders.
The only problem is this: he has at […]

Happy Hour Part Deux?

Thinking it may be time to plan another Baltimore Bloggers happy hour and try out a new bar.
Thoughts, Dear Readers?

Enough already.

Because linking is easier than writing: I like APCB’s take on the women’s march last weekend:

While it was refreshing to see the turnout for the March for Women’s Lives on Sunday, it was also sobering to read the New York Times story yesterday about the change in tactics by anti-abortion organizations. The blockades of the […]

Lower hemlines = support for Bush?

Not necessarily.

Via Intellectual Defenestration: The Great Hollywood Cover-up [-USA Today].

“There’s a new definition of what looks sexy and what looks appropriate,” Raffin says. “There’s a new sophistication” that young women “really have not been exposed to, no pun intended.

“There’s very little left to show anyway. Everything has been revealed.”

The conservative thread weaving through pop culture […]

God don’t make no junk.

Thoughts:

Jayson Blair’s book, Burning Down My Masters’ House, is an interesting read. I see a lot of parallels with Stephen Glass; I see a lot of appropriate talk of race vis a vis journalism; I see a lot of skimming, skimping and skipping as far as reasons why he lied. But definitely an interesting read. […]

With a capital B, baby

Note to self: Bitch’s latest issue is out now, so go get it.
Cleveland-based mag Urban Dialect has a lovely interview with Bitch’s founding co-editor Lisa Jervis. Thanks to E.P. for the link.

Boat drinks.

All right, here you go. A real post.
Weekend in review:
Friday: A sucky sucky day. I was in a horrible mood for no discernible reason. Iain and I went to Tully’s for happy hour, and nobody showed up. Then we went home and watched “Ghost World.” Which was good.
Saturday: A supremely rad day. We hiked […]
