Safe Haven

The movies that come out during the summer are the Hollywood blockbusters that are turned into roller coasters at Universal Studios. The movies that come out around and after Thanksgiving are actively vying for an Academy Award. The moves that come out during the beginning of the year? Total crap. But here my friend and [...]

Victoria Beckham’s Autumn-Winter 2013 Line

The Guardian loved it. And it does not revolve 100% around her signature look: the super f’ing tight sleeveless/knee-length dress, the teeny tiny belt that is only flattering if you are shaped like an arrow,  and the painfully high heel. My thoughts:

“1858, Two Years Before the Civil War, Somewhere in Texas”

“The only thing that I’ve ever watched in a movie that I wished I’d never seen is real-life animal death or real-life insect death in a movie.

groundbreaking, this just in-

Publications, victims of the 24-hr news cycle, occasionally run out of things to write about. My favorite example: the BBC’s insistence last year that a hedgehog getting stuck in a can was the third most important story in all of England (“Perhaps he wanted to see better in the dark.”) It’s fine though, because CM (me) [...]

Caricatures of New York Series – The MTA

New York Series : The MTA Diet: $2.25, soon to be $2.50 Appearance: Sleeping Personality Traits: Pre-Industrial Sometimes we all very much dislike the MTA. Originally when I typed this it said, “we all really fucking hate the MTA” but really, no need for an expletive, especially when one by itself is hardly adequate. That [...]
