My favorite movies

My movie favorites list is finally ready for public consumption. Whether it’s fit for public consumption is an open question.
Warning! It is a crime (misdemeanor) to consume […] on these premises. (Title 3, § 26.05) 

Regal alien

Last night Araceli and I went to see fiction writer Jhumpa Lahiri read from her new novel. The huge crowd gave me the opportunity to do plenty of people-watching while I was waiting in line. Lahiri fans of every color and stripe were present.

Laid off

Apparently they didn’t have any further use for my skills. Oh, well. I didn’t much like that job anyway.

“All the News that Fits,” or something like that

I recently received an e-mail forward that I thought was funny enough to pass on. Apparently, a variant of this was read on the air on “Car Talk” last year.
