confession time, again….now, the Summer Olympics in Beijing

I confessed a few weeks ago about certain artistic endeavors I took on. Now, I have a new confession:
I don’t really like the summer Olympics.
splat! crash! plop! (sounds of rotten vegetables being thrown at me)
The End.
Why, you ask, is Wendy such a traitor to this great land of ours? (that was [...]

home alone, thinking about John Edwards and extramarital affairs

So, it’s been about 24 hours since John Edwards “confessed his sins” on tv, and I just wonder, except for the salaciousness of it all, does anyone really care about this affair?

Project Runway, not a team sport

The challenge this week was to design a summer Olympics opening ceremony outfit for female U.S. athletes.
The guest judge, Apolo Ohno, seemed to have good comments at the end, but when the challenge is to design for female athletes, I wondered why they didn’t get a FEMALE ATHLETE to judge. Are their [...]

Project Runway begins!

They’re baaaaaack! Do we still love Tim? Yes. And Heidi? I guess so, but can we still hate her for those legs? Those LEGS!
I wonder if she’s going to forget to wear pants all season.

Anyway, not surprisingly, this [...]

Compare/Contrast: Kung Fu Panda vs. Wall-E

And now, I shall revisit high school English class with my compare and contrast of

Kung Fu Panda and Wall-E.
COMPARE:
1. Both are cartoons.
2. Neither is rated R.
3. Both are less than 100 minutes long.
CONTRAST:
1. Panda is clearly made for kids with colorful, rollicking fun; Wall-E is made for….well, I can only guess, depressed environmentalists who just [...]
