I skipped merrily over Media Monday because I was in a writing mood, not a video mood, but my good ‘net friend the Archangel Robriel at LJ posted this, and because I’m all about sharing the love (in this case literally) I’m passing it along.

Too many of my friends on LiveJournal have posted this for me not to jump on the bandwagon. And because, really, who doesn’t need some topical political humor to start the week? See more funny videos and funny pictures at CollegeHumor.

Fuzzy says I get points for not throwing anything at the television during the first presidential debate last night. It helped that I was watching the twitter feed and laughing at the snarky comments being made. We started watching on NBC, then moved to CNN because, just as my stepfather likes to watch the clothes [...]

I’ve been working on (well, actually, they’re done now, I’m waiting for the response) interview questions for Ben Bailey (host of the Discovery Channel’s Cash Cab), for the Jan/Feb 2009 issue of All Things Girl, and as a part of my research, I’ve been watching videos of his stand-up act. I’m sharing a video of [...]

From a friend at LJ: If you see this, post a quicky Middleman exclamation in your blog or livejournal. This is about all the meme I have the mental capacity for so I offer: Guns of Navaronne! (The service down here has gone to pot.) Also, because there can never be too much MiddleMannish goodness:

I try to keep politics out of my blog, for the most part. I have strong opinions, but this blog isn’t about that. Nevertheless, as a writer, censorship irks me more than anything, and as someone who has met Amy Goodman, this is not just a political issue, but a personal one for me. I [...]

Bottle Shock is the movie we saw yesterday. It was not only enjoyable and funny, it also made me want to curl up on a deck chair with a good book and some excellent chardonnay. (For the budget conscious, Fetzer’s “Sundial” Chardonnay is quite tasty.) Today, for Media Monday, I’m sharing the trailer.

The trailer’s been released for the better part of a week, and I’ve seen it on the big screen (in front of The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. Ironically, even though I KNEW the trailer was on this film, it surprised me.) so I decided that since I’m off to San Francisco in a [...]

It’s completely geeky to admit it, but I have a thing for Brendan Fraser, even if his website is woefully out of date. It’s even more neglected than this blog has been lately. Dusty, cobwebby, and sort of forgotten, but still nice to visit from time to time. Anyway, true confessions time: He’d totally be [...]
