Skinny Dip, by Carl Hiaasen July 22nd, 2008 @ 8:11 am PDT
I read Carl Hiaasen‘s comedy Skinny Dip on the flight from Denver to Vegas to Los Angeles on Monday morning at the suggestion of a friend at work. I don’t want to reveal too much of the story, but it’s basically about an idiot who attempts to murder his wife, who was the captain of […]
No Champagne for Shula and the Boys November 22nd, 2006 @ 6:03 pm PDT
And so another childhood belief is disproved.

Unfortunately, although I love the redesign at Hotmail.com, I can’t figure out how to retrieve my POP mail. It’s very frustrating. I doubt I have any interesting […]
Crush April 29th, 2000 @ 9:20 am PDT
I feel so dirty. I’m hanging at the in-laws in Miami right now. There’s a pseudo-game-show on the WB (it’s a channel, for those of you that don’t get all 600 networks on American TV) called Crush.
