Killing them with kindness OR The uncomfortably visible boner.
So………… hear that? It is the third day of silence. The third day after a second e-mail from an ex-girlfriend of mine. It was an out of the blue, so how are you doing? my life is great…blah, blah,blah.
I don’t have a problem with that, except— this [...]

Oops, I Crapped My Pants
(The following is an account of worst case scenario of one of my friends, Kevin Dick— written by Kevin Dick)
So it’s lunch time, and I have eaten my tofu curry from My Thai, and I am cleaning out the bowl I use when I felt the need to float an [...]

So I was thinking while half-watching yet another makeover celeb surgery show:
There’s all these people getting stuff lopped off or shifted around on purpose… but what about the people who lose things by accident, like arms or legs, and and what about war victims? If their legs are waiting for them in Heaven, what about [...]

I was in desperate need of a haircut after three or four weeks of living in LA.
So, we (April, my sister Meem, and I, all in need of cuts) headed over to Rudy’s Barbershop - Silverlake. It’s next to a cool store I had gone to before (Uncle Jer’s), it’s only a minute from our [...]

Yes, I am a glutton for punishment. I decided to go back to the movies, this time to see Hostel because I was a fool to listen to the endorsement of Quentin Tarantino. i might as well listen to the endorsement of Lindsay Wagner (aka Miss Lonelyhearts) and buy one of those adjustomatic mattresses.

So we saw King Kong. Where was his cock?
Not that that’s what I went to the movie for, but they spend zillions of dollars on “creating life” and come up with a King Kong sans dong?! How can you represent the ultimate in primal beasts without a dick?
Women complain that men behave like beasts and [...]

Sorry. Long time, no complaints. It’s not as if there hasn’t been anything to complain about. It’s just now, taking a break from art and job searching, that I have some time to do it right…
So we made it to LA, thanks mostly to April’s driving of the U-Haul (with the platform auto trailer in [...]

Neighborly Friendliness Turned Upside-Down.
When I moved into my last place, It was a testing experience. Long long drive across the country, most of it smelly and unshowered. But we made it and while unpacking I noticed one of the neighbors.
Only because he was so obviously wanting to be noticed. He came out of his house [...]

A dog is not an accessory.
Period.
First, I feel it necessary to say I am a dog owner, and I have a nurturing love-hate relationship with my dogs. I love them but hate the stupidity and behavioral problems they sometimes have. And before anyone points a singular stinky digit at me with the usual “they are [...]

Dear Friends,
When it rains, it pours (termite-killing toxins).
So, we are back from vacation. We got back Sunday actually, to find a note on the floor in front of our door (dated the 7th, even though we left on the 8th and weren’t given this notice before leaving), telling us that we would need to be [...]
