The upstairs neighbors are having loud sex. She’s screeching and he’s barking at her.

You can’t see the new tires on the Tiger, because they are on the front wheels. But still, you know that they are there. And that is what is important. I also got the oil changed. And new wiper blades. This car is practically new. I was thinking how I always call the car the [...]
I went out there at 8:45. Drove for a while thinking the car was handling like a manatee, like always, but this was worse than usual. I got out and assessed the situation. I immediately determined that: a. the tire was flat, b. looking around I reassured myself I still live in Blacksburg (not a [...]
Vet Student 1: I have an ear thermometer, but my dog prefers the butt thermometer. That’s because I have self-warming KY. Vet Student 2: Doesn’t that affect the temperature?
Me: Mo-Mizzle, how are you today? MM: I am going to take my father’s advice. He said shut your mouth. Me: Ah. So I guess that means your day is peachy. MM: Oh yes. Me: Well, I suspect that nobody really wants to hear about men’s feelings anyway. MM: Only someone who really loves you [...]
OK. I am addicted to reading about art. But it’s a sick fascination because a lot of people who write about art are… well… if not kind of clueless, definitely blowing smoke. Especially in the New York Times, because you have to write really well to write for the New York Times in the first [...]
Dear Aussie, You have recently reformulated your hair conditioner. I use the “Moist” one for dry or curly hair. The new formula smells like coconut, and while I enjoy the scent of coconut, it gives me a headache. Also, Her: FIX IT! FIX IT! IT MAKES MY HAIR CRAZY! Basically, I feel the same way. [...]
Not only is Flickr down, (“having a massage”-aaargh) but it crashed Safari! Torture.
Painting and aesthetics are not divorced concepts. You can be concerned with composition, line, color, etc without necessarily creating “decorative” (the preferred art-speke for works that focus on prettiness and have the emotional depth of a puddle) work. And “decorative” is not really a crime against art, anyway. Art Nouveau and Art Deco are intentionally [...]
I don’t think it looks bad, especially when you consider how stank her hair was before. Remember that interview? Yikes. Here is an artist’s rendering of Laura, from Laura’s Lean Beef, newly bald. I think she looks nice, and it’s so easy to maintain this hairstyle. It’s a bandwagon we can all embrace. Right fellas? [...]
At a time when classical music faces declining audiences and, some say, irrelevance, the sort of mission espoused by New World is seen as crucial. I’m relieved to see that painting is not the only art struggling to find a relevant and interesting future.
I don’t have anything against this Laura person, but we don’t eat this kind of beef even though, paradoxically, it is usually cheaper than the standard beef. Why? Well, the Little Lady is in vet school studying to be a large animal veterinarian. That means- cows. Think about this issue for a moment. If cows [...]
Dear CNN, I think that lakes do tend to be big, and that they do tend to slosh. Maybe you could describe them differently, such as “very cold, yet still wet?” Sincerely, Kevin Inman, CNN.com Reader, Pedant, Amateur Climatologist, and Concerned Citizen
Today we are ‘discussing’ Langer. Here are my thoughts on this subject. music… art what is the discursive element? what are these people talking about?
I have to cry foul on this one. Carrie Underwood is just exercising her prerogative as a country singer to look like a total freak. This is a fundamental right of country performers. Not just country performers. All singers have this right. The ordinary rules of good taste do not apply to the stage.
