We could tell by the way he rang the doorbell that things weren’t going to go according to plan. The moment he said, “What exactly am I here to do today?” I could actually feel Fehmeen’s blood beginning to bubble and froth from a room away even before I saw the are-you-kidding-me look in her [...]

To Sleep Perchance to Dream
Posted in Accessibility, Life on July 28, 2010 | 4 Comments »
Had a brand new bed delivered to the house last night. Between seven and nine pm. It was one of those fancy Tempur-pedic mattresses from ManCHEEni’s Sleepy World (pronunciation courtesy of Nasseem Seriana, my favorite mother-in-law). The bed itself is quite the sight to behold with its adjustable foam and remote control and the little [...]

From the first time she ever uttered the now infamous word “Boong-yah” — Emmanese for give me that (we think) — to her pronouncement over breakfast of “When Emma gets older, she is going to drink coffee,” Emma has been entertaining those around her with her patented brand of verbal gymnastics. Here are just a [...]

The universe works in strange and mysterious ways sometimes. All I wanted was to get a few more comments. Just a sign from my readers to let me know that you are out there and that you hear what it is that I am saying. I wasn’t asking for much, just a middle name and [...]

Do you want to play a game? The game is called What’s Your Adult Film Star Name. You can call it the What’s Your Soap Opera Star Name game if you want, it doesn’t really matter. The rules are exactly the same. To find out your adult film or soap opera (or AF/SO) star name, [...]

Some are good and some completely suck but I watch them anyway. Here’s what I have to say about the latest bunch of movies that have found their way to my eyes, ears, and brain this past month. Blow: I seem to enjoy the rise from obscurity portions of these types of films a little [...]
92 Flashback Special

It was an age of smoking Marlboros and getting loaded before watching Star Trek: The Next Generation every night at 11:00 with friends. Unfortunately for the cumulative college GPA, reading for personal pleasure and intellectual enlightenment was the order of the day every day. Books like Generation X, The Basketball Diaries, A Confederacy of Dunces, [...]
Call Him Pasta
Posted in Memories on July 20, 2010 | 5 Comments »
Once upon a time in the Fall of 1987, a young college freshman pledging a fraternity offered up his connections for free spaghetti in order to feed the masses at an all you can eat fundraising event. From that day forward, he became known hither and yon as Pasta. Although not much is remembered from [...]

Hard Case Crime Fiction. That is what it took for me to realize just how big of a problem I had. It began in my youth with comic books and baseball cards. Then it expanded to records and cassettes and eventually CDs. At least in those days I actually had the time to look at [...]
Welcome to the Jungle
Posted in Life on July 16, 2010 | 1 Comment »
It’s a jungle out there. All the lizards and slugs and birds and spiders are sleeping in their critter beds. Snug as bugs in rugs. The jungle is stone silent, save the occasional twig-crack leaf-crunch. Half past twelve and the foliage shimmers in solar-powered artificial light. Morning comes soon, and with it, so too does [...]
