This is one of those DVD’s best watched at home, snuggled up with a nice warm bowl of homemade soup and a loved one or two. Of course, they watched it alone, late at night, on the coldest night so far this year Oddly enough, this is the first time they have watched this film… Continue reading They watched “Se7en” again, and have some thoughts…
What’s really missing from American culture…
…is “Fat, balding, hairy, ugly middle-aged guys gone wild.” You know, it’s reached # on the New York Times bestseller list… Oh, wait. We have the superbowl Funny aside: the spell checker suggested “superb owl” — how very Fawlty Towers of my spell checker.

An actual quote from the life they lead…
They: “I’m waiting for either the Motrin or the Margarita to kick in.” Q: “Either one?” They: “It’s a race — the tortise versus the hair of the dog that bit me.”
