It’s as easy as going to your local indie video store and taking part in the Had To Be Made film…

According to my Forerunner 201,
According to my Forerunner 201, in the past six months I’ve run 147 miles. I’ve run for over a day straight — 32 hours and 32 minutes — for a total of 14,109 calories burned. (That’s almost five pounds.) In 2000, I ran 0 miles in 0 hours, 0 minutes. So while I may not…

Gilmore Girls Recap 5.9
She Seems To Have an Invisible Touch: She reaches in and makes you feel like you’ve done something wrong, but you’re not quite sure what it is, but she’s mad and you can tell by the pout on her face that all the free food in the world isn’t going to fix. Is it something…

Three Questions
A few months ago I was asked to write a piece for Fresh Yarn. It was the first thing I ever brought to our writing group (which I hope stee starts up again soon). I’ve been a fan of this site from the beginning and have been anxiously waiting for my piece to go online.…

Tea For You
I’m jealous of all the Northern California people who could go to this High Tea. Dan and I had high tea a few months ago, and part of us will always be at Casa Del Mar, sharing a salmon finger sandwich. I’m pimping the Sugarplum Tea not just because it’s being thrown by our pretty,…

It’s driving me crazy, and
It’s driving me crazy, and I know you guys will know in three seconds. What movie: A guy answers the phone (maybe it’s a girl? but I seem to think it’s a guy) and someone’s on the other line angry, yelling about something that we all know he’s upset about. Or maybe it’s a she.…

This Is Not Over: The Mission Statement
So, in case you missed it: Bush won. Now what do we do? Well, funneling a hive of killer bees up his pantleg is probably out, but I think you’ll agree that we have to do something. The 2004 elections saw an across-the-board loss of ground for liberals and progressives in the American government, and…

Liebe ohne Märchenprinz
I love zee cover so much! Liebe ohne Märchenprinz (“Love, But No Prince Charming”, they say, is the rough translation) is out in June. I’ve had a great time emailing with the translator, explaining what exactly a “J. Crew-style director’s chair” would be. I’m sick as a dog today, and this was a wonderful surprise.…
