It’s always dangerous for me to go to drug stores because I usually emerge with some impulsively purchased piece of candy. Yesterday, I found myself staring down a box of Cadbury Creme Eggs, and I had to ask myself: is January too early to partake in an Easter confection? And am I a bad Jew? …

My Prayers Have Been Answered: Behold, Wii Agatha Christie!!!!
We’ve seen Wii bowling, Wii boxing, Wii tennis, Wii baseball, Wii cooking, Wii fishing, and just about any other Wii-gerund you can think of, but none compare to this: WII AGATHA CHRISTIE!

Protset!!1!
Some of you may have seen this already, but I thought I’d post it again just for the hell of it. About five years ago (oy), my friend Dan and I stumbled upon a massive anti-war demonstration in the heart of Hollywood the day before the Oscars. Luckily, we had a video camera with us, …
Friday Linkage
I’m a little under the weather; so rather than compose a full post, I thought I’d just assemble some good old fashioned lovable links. Rachel Ray suffers at the hands of a vengeful, silence-seeking waiter. [midseasonreplacements] The Hills guide to Los Angeles. [Gridskipper] The Monte Carlo Casino in Vegas has caught on fire.

The Heath Effect
Renfro? Really? Him? Has Brad Renfro received an upgrade in the legacy department? The troubled actor, who never quite lived up to his perpetual “rising star” status, has suddenly been thrust into the upper echelon Died-Young category, joining the likes of River Phoenix, Tupac, and Janis Joplin, and it all seems to be thanks to …
My Tribute to Heath Ledger
We were all deeply shocked and saddened by Heath Ledger’s untimely death yesterday, and while those in New York City have manifested their grief by erecting a candlelit shrine for the actor, I’ve paid tribute the only way I know how: with yogurt. Yes, in honor of Heath, I ordered my frozen yogurt tonight with …
Prettying Up Your Ugly Betty
Do the curtains match the carpet? It’s an essential question not just for monochromatic interior designers, but for curious men (and women) who seek to know if a lady’s hair color is uniformly aligned with the hues in the nether regions of her body. As we all know, not all blondes are natural, and nothing …
My First LOLcat
I decided to make a LOLcat for the first time ever. If you think it’s funny, click on the pic and vote on the site. If you don’t think it’s funny, well, then I guess this is very awkward, isn’t it?
That's Right, I'm a VIP
Very few people reserve the title “VIP” for me. It’s mostly just my mom and dad and the occasional Hallmark card. However, despite my perpetual outsider status, I have risen to the VIP ranks thanks to the glorious travel website, Hotelchatter.com. Part of the SFO Media empire, the site boasts a wide variety of news, …
