Happy Super Bowl Weekend! We’re all cheering for the N.Y. Giants, right? Tebow crushing aside, I just can’t see myself cheering for the Patriots. But either way, I hope you all have lots of french onion dip, chicken wings, and beer while watching all the clever ads on Sunday, because as we all know, when [...]
Today’s Fierce Anticipation is brought to you by Ex-Lax Fiercely Anticipating – God Bless America Bobcat Goldthwait’s widely ignored gem, World’s Greatest Dad, was a scalpel-precise dissection of postmortem celebrity. Robin Williams plays a struggling English teacher who, after discovering the accidental auto-erotic suffocation of his misanthropic son, authors a bogus diary in his progeny’s [...]
My son made a break for it. He cried when I pulled up in front of his new preschool and as I carried him inside he cried, “home, home, home,” while pointing in the general direction of our house. He tried to wiggle free of my grasp and I had to set him down to [...]
Somewhere in the past few years television has become jam packed with reality shows featuring the richest of the rich. These shows give us a glimpse into the “hard” lives of the upper class and paint an exhausting picture of shopping in excess, living in excess, and bitching in excess. With the economy what it [...]
With 3 couples visiting from out of town over the holidays, I felt a singular pressure to show them the kind of Entourage-themed New Year’s Eve they’d seen on HBO, the flash and money of it all, the outrageous L.A.-ness of it all. This pressure was somehow made worse because they were Canadians. As mentioned two [...]
With Nintendo recently posting some horrible losses, a lot of that can be attributed to the rise in iOS gaming popularity. After reading this, it occurred to me that if Apple really does plan on making a foray into gaming, there are some things that Nitntendo, Sony, and Microsoft can do to prepare for this [...]
Dear Dr. Miro, My boyfriend always wants to have sex right as we wake up but I’m really embarrassed of my morning breath. When I go to brush, he gets annoyed. That’s the main time we have to get it on and I don’t feel sexy so then I’m all pressured. What am I supposed [...]
With the Oscars approaching and my hair receding, I reminisce. The Oscars are a must see event for me annually. It can be a special night with friends and food and comfy chairs, hoping to win the office Oscar pool. When you live in Los Angeles, as I did for years, you are “right there.” [...]
About an hour ago, a play handed me my ass. “Here you go,” it said, “have your ass.” In this case, “ass handed” means inspired, galvanized, surprised and moved. It reminded me why I love theater. Here’s the thing–this show, the one I just saw, I shouldn’t have liked it. It’s not for me. It’s about the [...]
The weekend between the NFL Conference Championship games and the Superbowl is a bad one for football but a great one for soul searching. I love football and I fucking hate soul searching. As far as I’m concerned, soul searching is like cleaning out the produce drawer in the fridge; I know that something is [...]
