As a spin-off of my previous series An Actual Email I Sent (“series” may be a little strong since I only did it once), here’s an actual email I was sent (please ignore use of passive voice) by my childhood best friend’s mother, who has taken to sending me the occasional state job posting (in hopes ofContinue reading “An Actual Email I Was Sent”

An Actual Email I Sent
While getting back into the swing of things, I decided to share some actual emails that I have sent to actual people in the past few [actual] days. I consider myself the Emily Dickinson of email-writing and self-induced reclusion. (I think it would be particularly funny for you to imagine that I sent every singleContinue reading “An Actual Email I Sent”
Movie Review: Knight and Day
My favorite kind of movie is a free movie; this is obvious to all by now. I will see any movie if it is free, mostly because they are fun to write about when they fail spectacularly. Anne scored us tickets to see Knight and Day, the new rom-action film starring Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz.Continue reading “Movie Review: Knight and Day”
The Hangover Reviewed (Somewhat Angrily)
I’ve been keeping an eye out for The Hangover since March. I love Ed Helms. I love Zack Galifianakis (so much so that I didn’t even have to check how to spell his name). I love Bradley Cooper. I love Mike Tyson. (What?) Win-win-win-awkward win, right? I don’t want to spoil the post by giving my coveted rating so soon, butContinue reading “The Hangover Reviewed (Somewhat Angrily)”
Movie Review: Up

This weekend, I saw the new Disney Pixar animated feature Up (which I keep typing as UP and should therefore be officially changed) about an old man and his Wilderness Adventurer (read: boy scout) friend floating a house to South America with balloons. It only gets better fromContinue reading “Movie Review: Up”
Movie Review: Star Trek
When I walked into the theater, I signed an invisible contract that said, if I enjoy the movie, I then have to sit through every last episode of Star Trek. And that contract was written up by my dad, the Star Trek Expert/Temporary Contract-Writing Lawyer. But this is not going to be a nerd review. IContinue reading “Movie Review: Star Trek”
The 1989 Production of WTWTA
Did I ever tell you guys the story of when I was in a stage production of Where the Wild Things Are? That’s how I know it will be a good movie, because it was so brilliant on stage. My Broadway (St. Paul the Apostle auditorium) debut:
Restaurant Review: A Salt and Battery
I headed to Greenwich Village to try out A Salt and Battery, an authentic fish and chips spot. After, I stopped into Tea and Sympathy’s shop to forage for Cadbury chocolate.
Top 10 Weird Movies I Loved as a Kid
So everyone is pretty up in arms over the box-office success of Beverly Hills Chihuahua. How did a movie like this possibly make it to number one, besides the fact that there aren’t any other no-thinking-required movies out during this economic panic and people really don’t like to think during times of crisis? Besides theContinue reading “Top 10 Weird Movies I Loved as a Kid”
