The Life of Reilly

"I was told that I would never be allowed on television, and now I gotta try to figure out, who do you have to fuck to get off?"

I must see this. Review here, official site here. Check out the trailer.


"It's that kind of show."

Charmin Story

A few summers ago, when we rented a cottage in the English countryside, Tesco was a happy discovery. They had just about everything we needed, including gas. Didn't see one of these, though.

Plugging Away at Crafts

I generally regard crafts with a fair amount of scorn. Gluing macaroni onto a cigar box is fine for kindergartners, but if you're doing that kind of thing in your 30s, you might want to expand your horizons. I know, I know -- your découpage hatbox is très soignée, but it's really the same thing.

There's a fine line between hobby and obsession, and when someone calls it "crafting," I know they've crossed over. These are the ones who never pause to consider whether those pinecones really need the glitter. The ones who get pissy if you don't lavish enough praise on their popsicle-stick crèche.

Imagine my surprise when a subscriber passed along this link. Such creativity! I'd give it a try, but you'd probably rag me.
