When I was six, I wanted to be a paleontologist. That’s right. Dinosaur bones, civilizations past and Pharaoh’s tombs. . . I was a weird kid, what can I say? I have a very vivid memory of my sister Sarah reading me a book about the man who discovered King Tut’s tomb. After I stoppedContinue reading “Finding King Tut’s Awkward Family Photos”

Harry Potter & The End (Times?)
Lots of people are saying that 11-11-11 is going to be a big day. Some are even saying that the world will end and it will be the apocalypse. Yeah. We’ve heard it all before. But amid all of the ridiculous e-mails and bizarre add campaigns, there is one announcement that surpassed them all andContinue reading “Harry Potter & The End (Times?)”
Car Accidents and Criminal Minds
All it takes is an instant. Today. 4pm. An accident up the street slowed traffic. A Beverly High School biology teacher was driving slowly towards Wilmington and as the sun glanced off her mirrors and she slammed on the breaks, the silver honda civic behind her, my silver honda civic, didn’t manage to stop inContinue reading “Car Accidents and Criminal Minds”

Glaring Questions on Daytime TV

After hours of reruns of NCIS, Castle, CSI, Law & Order and Criminal Minds, it is abundantly clear that too many crooksContinue reading “Glaring Questions on Daytime TV”
Ten Valuable Facts I’ve Learned From Old Movies
I realized today that, unlike most 24-year-olds, I spent most of my impressionable years glued to Cary Grant classics. Even though this left me a little out of the loop when everyone was talking about Corey and Topenga (?) and someone named Zack Morris during Freshman year college orientation, I think I’m thankful. In aContinue reading “Ten Valuable Facts I’ve Learned From Old Movies”
A Frenetic Whirling Dervish of Exhuberance…
Beginnings are daunting, so in my typical fashion, I almost wish I could jump right to the next phase, rather than hem and haw my way through an introduction. Assuming that someone will actually (maybe, perhaps, someday, once upon a dream, in a distant future) read this, however, propriety demands some social niceties. If my short spitfire Italian grandmotherContinue reading “A Frenetic Whirling Dervish of Exhuberance…”
