Prove to yourself you are the intellectual you think you are AND donate to the hungry. Free Rice will ask you to define 47 words, with each correct answer, rice is donated to a needy person. As an added ego-buffer, if you miss one, no worries, they just keep asking until you get all 47 […]
OC Mom Models Good Behavior
Larry found this note on his car when he came out of Lowes on Sunday. Yes, there was remarkable ding in the side of his car, but he was so moved by the integrity of this Mom, that he called to say it was fine. Isn’t it just astonishing how doing the right thing can […]
The Sad, Lonely Life of a Mom’s Coffee Cup
I feel sorry for my coffee cup. I do. Here…I’ll show you why. Below is a breakdown on its daily activities. 6:30 a.m. Pulled from un-run dishwasher and hastily rinsed. 6:32 Abandoned in sink while I made Dinasaur Egg Oatmeal (which I swore I wasn’t going to buy again–but, hey, it’s oatmeal.) 6:40 Poured coffee […]
The Most Important News Ever!!!
I’ve decided to stop using the exclamation point to express authentic excitement. Not out of a lack of zealous or glee, but because I believe its effectiveness and popularity peaked in the 70’s with the School House Rock Song “Interjection.” Now, with the online thesaurus (putting more useful language at our fingertips) and cute little […]
Friday Five: Why Can’t It Be 1986? Why?
1) Darth Vader being a jerk: Now this Star Wars I WANT to see. 2) Only 80’s Retro Page. 3) Square Pegs: The quintessential 80’s teen TV show. This clip has Richard Blade and…and an explanation between Punk and New Wave…Devo…and… 4) Macintosh Commercial 1984 5) From the very funny Evany Thomas for McSweeney’s List […]
The Movie “Atonement” and Lisa and that dress…
Larry “took one for the team” and went with me to see “Atonement” tonight. It was beautifully written and some of the shots were stunning– there was a continual shot (unedited) that must have been at least five minutes long that was breathtaking. It was beautiful to watch. I would like to see it again, […]
“Stay Sweet” and other well wishes from Jr. High
I went to Junior High School at the now defunct Park View Elementary in Huntington Beach. I recently pulled out my old yearbooks and found I was drawn more to all the inscriptions and signatures of my friends, than to who was voted “Class Flirt.” While reading them, the thing that popped out at me […]
The Hoff Foundation
My cyber friend, Chris, at Dharma Bum is not only the most prolific BlackBerry picture-taker in Orange County (see his website here), he is also a passionate believer/supporter of the Orange County Art Scene. (See his OTHER website The OC Art Blog.) Chris and his beautiful wife, Michele, announced today they have established The Hoff […]
Patina Boutique in Costa Mesa
Stopped by Patina Boutique in Costa Mesa today. (here) They are having their bi-annual sale until Sunday, which means 60 % off True Religion Jeans and more… Shopping at Patina’s is kind of like going through your slightly mental older sister’s closet. You know, the one who married a movie producer and has more money […]
What I Can’t Stop Listening To Now: Matt Costa
From my hometown, Huntington Beach, Ca., Matt Costa’s Mr. Pitiful, here. You could, if you wanted to, read this article about him in Sentimentalist Online Magazine, but it is totally up to you. Whatever you want to do it fine with me. (I am practicing not being bossy, must say, feels unnatural and wrong…)
