A few updates from the desk of this Charming, but single blogger:
- Answers to the questions are coming. I have half of them written. Promise.
- Also, my contribution to the Writer’s Block blog is also in the works. I haven’t read anyone else’s, lest I get sidetracked. The only problem is that I saw “Must Love Dogs” last night, so I’m pretty sure that’s going to weigh heavily on my mind as I write.
- A mini-review of “Must Love Dogs:” Cute but cheesy and predictable romantic comedy that relies on time-tested romantic comedy situations to tell an okay story (i.e. movie montages! a sing-along! missed connections!). Sweet as saccharine ending bored me, but it was still cute. Love me some John Cusak, but I have to say that he is an odd color in this movie. He’s, like, kind of orange. I liked “Serendipity” better, but that’s also because I love John Corbett, who was terrible in the role he played in that movie, but still rules.
And now I’m off to work.
Looking forward to reading your submission for the Writer’s Block!
And thanks for the review of Must Love Dogs. I’ve been eyeballing it as a possible reward for getting through my move home! May have to reward myself instead with a new pair of shoes. :o)
We work like a horse.
We eat like a pig.
We like to play chicken.
You can get someone’s goat.
We can be as slippery as a snake.
We get dog tired.
We can be as quiet as a mouse.
We can be as quick as a cat.
Some of us are as strong as an ox.
People try to buffalo others.
Some are as ugly as a toad.
We can be as gentle as a lamb.
Sometimes we are as happy as a lark.
Some of us drink like a fish.
We can be as proud as a peacock.
A few of us are as hairy as a gorilla.
You can get a frog in your throat.
We can be a lone wolf.
But I’m having a whale of a time!
You have a riveting web log
and undoubtedly must have
atypical & quiescent potential
for your intended readership.
May I suggest that you do
everything in your power to
honor your encyclopedic/omniscient
Designer/Architect as well
as your revering audience.
Please remember to never
restrict anyone’s opportunities

existence for their quintessence.
There is a time for everything,
a season for every activity
under heaven. A time to be
born and a time to die. A
time to plant and a time to
harvest. A time to kill and
a time to heal. A time to
tear down and a time to
rebuild. A time to cry and
a time to laugh. A time to
grieve and a time to dance.
A time to scatter stones
and a time to gather stones.
A time to embrace and a
time to turn away. A time to
search and a time to lose. A
time to keep and a time to
throw away. A time to tear
and a time to mend. A time
to be quiet and a time to
speak up. A time to love
and a time to hate. A time
for war and a time for peace.

P.S. One thing of which I am sure is
that the common culture of my youth
is gone for good. It was hollowed out
by the rise of ethnic “identity politics,”
then splintered beyond hope of repair
by the emergence of the web-based
technologies that so maximized and
facilitated cultural choice as to make
the broad-based offerings of the old
mass media look bland and unchallenging
by comparison.”

I love romantic comedies, but “Must Love Dogs” jut sounds dull. And call me a racist if you like, but I never see films with those orange people in them.
Yum. I love me some John Corbett too.
I read the book and it was pretty funny. But you know what they say about books turned into movies…they tend to suck.
I’m all about John Cusack myself. Hot Hot Hot

Just passing through, I’m liking the blog by the way.
