Card canard.

Yesterday I cleaned.  I even vacuumed.  Massive amounts of domestic detritus were discarded.  Among the discards was a greeting card with jack-o-lanterns on the cover that I had picked up in the fall.  Rereading the greeting inside, I wondered about who had written it and how it might be interesting to meet him/her.  I could [...]

Acting Iraqi.

Naveen Andrews plays Sayid, a former member of Iraq’s Republican Guard, on the tv show Lost.
Are you getting better opportunities?
Oh yeah, definitely. And I have to face the fact that a lot of people
watch television. It’s a different level of fame. It’s not like an

Looking at licenses.

Personally, I would’ve gone with:
T E R I Y A K I
Actually, seven characters seems to be the limit for car license plates, so realistically I would’ve had to go with:
TERYAKI
There was some kind of unburdening that could have happened here.  It should have [...]

DVD Disorders.

1.  I rarely use the scene selections on movie dvds, the ones that let you start from a specific point by just clicking on them.  But I always view that sequence of scene selections, navigating my way through until I’ve seen the entire list.  Sometimes they are just screens of captures from the movie with [...]
