Assessing Shame at THE AVENGERS [On The Contrary]

May 16, 2012 4 Comments by

Sometimes you have to capitulate to the cultural zeitgeist, if only to have an informed opinion on the major movements in our (pop) culture. An English teacher of mine once encouraged us not to actually read the great works of literature (that would take far too long) but to instead develop a nodding acquaintance with [...]

Dear Madame HorroR, Recently, my boss called me in to her office and gave me a counseling notice and said I had 10 days to improve my performance. Should I be worried? Am I going to get fired? – Called into the Principal’s office Dear Called, Yes… Probably… I don’t know. I’m doubtless not saying [...]

Cheater-Cheater, Pumpkin Eater! [Ask Dr. Miro: What You Didn’t Learn In Health Class]

May 15, 2012 2 Comments by

Dear Dr. Miro, I went on a date with this guy and everything was AMAZING. He is absolutely perfect except one thing: apparently he and his last girlfriend broke up because he cheated on her. I know the whole “once a cheater, always a cheater” adage but is this always true? I don’t want to [...]

Climbing the Walls [Tall Drink of Nerd]

May 14, 2012 3 Comments by

Groupon had me climbing the walls yesterday. Every morning I wade through email offers from Groupon, Living Social, Amazon Local, Daily Candy and tons of other trickle down copy-cat sites. Today alone, I tossed 14 offers into the trash including: 60% off eye lash extensions, a reduced rate on a body-fat scale and discounted limo [...]

Phyllis Kaelin is Drawn to the Shadows [Fierce Anticipation]

May 11, 2012 No Comments by

FIERCELY ANTICIPATING On Friday, Dark Shadows is officially opening and I’m going to be sitting in a theatre sometime that day, watching the big horror offering of the summer movie season. Probably on an Imax screen. My tiny bit of ambivalence is swamped by fierce anticipation. While quick to say I don’t like horror movies, [...]

Sex On Your To-Do List? [Ask Dr. Miro: What You Didn’t Learn In Health Class]

May 09, 2012 1 Comment by

Dear Dr. Miro, My gorgeous, brilliant, wife and I have really busy lives between our fulltime jobs, volunteer work and newly adopted twins lets just say: not a lot of together-alone time. I’m really worried we are going to have Lesbian Death Bed and as a result I wanted to try to schedule some times [...]

Murder, I Wrote About [California Seething]

May 07, 2012 4 Comments by

Let’s say you killed Guy Fieri and dumped his body in a swamp- accidentally, of course. That is to say, you killed him accidentally- it would be very hard to drop something in a swamp accidentally unless you lived in the Everglades and were a particularly poor juggler in which case you’d be dropping beanbags and kittens [...]

Summer Time, and the Livin is Nerdy [Fierce Anticipation]

May 04, 2012 2 Comments by

Forgive me, dear readers. It has been five months since my last blogumn. There has been much speculation as to where I have been, and I will simply say NONE OF IT is true (unless you assumed I am right where you left me, in which case, yes it’s all true). I was approached to [...]

If Music be the Food, Play On [Elbows on the Table]

May 01, 2012 No Comments by

Food and music are two of the few things in the world that are universal. Sure some people don’t like peanut butter and some people don’t like polka. There is no person in the world who does not like music or does not like food. Both can evoke more than what they are. When you [...]

Sexsomnia? [Ask Dr. Miro: What You Didn’t Learn in Health Class]

May 01, 2012 No Comments by

Dear Dr. Miro, What’s wrong with my husband? At least once a week he’ll wake me up for late night sex, and the next day he won’t remember! Sometimes it even happens multiple times in a night and I have to push him away. How can he not recall this? Could it be me? Am [...]
