not quite pearls of wisdom

Calling a spade a spade when you know who crafted the tool.

Is it hard to call a spade a spade when you know the person who crafted the tool? You betcha. I write critical commentary for a living, and keeping a certain objective distance can be incredibly difficult when you have what some would regard as a personal relationship with the subject being analyzed. If you’re… Read More Calling a spade a spade when you know who crafted the tool.

Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala

I’ve been a little behind with my soap hopping, so I haven’t tuned into AMC for a few weeks. But judging by the unhappy mail we get, it seems like watching the show is a cross between watching the live feed of an execution and getting a root canal. So, when I offered to pinch… Read More Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala

What’s cookin’?

After a brief hiatus from all things culinary, I’m finally getting back on the cooking horse again…as much as I ride, that is. So, to make sure I haven’t turned into a complete idiot, I decided to whip up my Technicolor Dream Rice, which I probably haven’t made in at least six months. Not bad,… Read More What’s cookin’?

Ya gotta have goals.

Not resolutions, mind you. Just goals. 2008 was a very rudderless period for me, and I think a little direction is in order. As such, here are some goals I hope to see to fruition before 2010 rolls around. 1. Take more vacation. I ended the year with almost 18 days leftover. That’s utterly insane,… Read More Ya gotta have goals.

Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala

Some might say I have a bit of a preoccupation with DAYS OF OUR LIVES’ Philip. What’s not to like? He’s a complex, well-written guy, and he has dimples! But I’m also fixated on him because I’m impressed that DAYS “went there” with the character’s war injuries and gave him a prosthetic leg. Since that… Read More Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala

A new year, a new lesson to learn.

I don’t know what it is about the change from one year to the next that lends itself to navel-gazing, but here I sit, in a pensive state, pondering what I’ve accomplished, what I haven’t accomplished, and what opportunities the year ahead will afford me. I’m turning 31 in a month. Yep, 2009 marks my… Read More A new year, a new lesson to learn.
