Hey guys, as promised,  a new “Best Of” comments feature after the jump.  Let me know if you like it, b/c it takes a little while to put together, so if you guys don’t love it, I’m dumping it. Just keepin’ it real … lazy. As you’ll see, I tend to have trouble picking just [...]

. a blogumn by Ryan Dixon FIERCELY ANTICIPATING, FIERCELY DISAPPOINTED The Ring Cycle In the world of opera and classical music, Richard Wagner‘s four-part Der Ring des Nibelungen is the closest thing there is to epically popular movie franchises like the Star Wars saga or The Lord of the Rings trilogy. This operatic epic was [...]

So, I guess I should have been suspicious of the high-energy Tuesday morning that I had upon my return from St. Louis. I bounced to my car and then I had lunch with my husband, and then the fatigue hit. I came home, did a bunch of work, wrote, but by 10 o’clock, I was [...]

Ah crap! Thanks to a double team from Zacki from “Tall Glass of Shame” and Sallie from California, you got your first Thursday point in quite a while, because they guessed that yesterday’s lyric was from “Tender Love” by The Force MDs. So I guess my 2-week winning streak has come to an end. Bah! [...]

. Proof of Nerd ID by Charles Cron WONDERS FROM DOWN UNDER EDITION The only two people to win posthumous Academy Awards for acting (Peter Finch for Best Actor in NETWORK and Heath Ledger for Best Supporting Actor in THE DARK KNIGHT) happen to both be Australian.

Gudrun from “Secret Life of a Nerd Girl” is currently stuck in France w/o internet access. Bit of a cowinkydink, I know, given my article earlier this week about not wanting to go anywhere w/o an internet connection. She describes the unexpected wifi disconnect as “quel disatre, but kind of nice”  — anyway, she’ll be [...]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: American cities need to get over themselves and support more forward-thinking, non-boring street art. Just look at this 3D visual crevasse from German artist, Edgar Muller, which debuted at the Irish “Festival of World Culture.” I’m so jealous, I could die. I’d take this over yet [...]

. a blogumn by Robin Rosenzweig After about four years together, my boyfriend and I finally decided to take the leap and move in together. We ended up moving into the first place we found, a reasonably-priced cute two bedroom, two bath in a secure building with underground parking for the both of us. Plus, [...]

So though I did wax on about how much I love L.A., on Tuesday, I must admit that Filly Film Cult and I have been rather frustrated as of late with the theater scene. We’re trying to find a space for our next short film festival, but unfortunately, the guy at our usual space isn’t [...]

Okay, you guys are starting to annoy me. Kelli from “Fierce in Seattle” guessed that yesterday’s lyrics were from “Girls on Film” by Duran Duran. But today is R&B/Rap Thursday — aka your dismal record day — so let’s see if I can’t tie this up. Unfortunately, this is one of those ditties that insist [...]
