1. Can The Passion of Christ be nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay next year? Or Best Foreign-Language Film? As I see it, that’s the only legitimate controversy surrounding Mel Gibson’s movie. I repeat: IT’S A MOVIE! 2. Lena Horne forces Janet Jackson to drop out of her bio-pic. Justin Timberlake is forced to step down
All kinds of random weirdness at Acentos last night, starting with the big ass pool table smack in the middle of the already-small-to-begin-with Blue Ox! Nice turnout, to the point where the open mic is starting to feel a little on the long side and Oscar even had to cut a couple of people. The
Random rambling for no particular reason other than to kill the last 15 minutes between Shrek finishing and the kids getting in bed. Isaac’s in a trance in front of the TV; India’s wandering back and forth between rooms, not particularly impressed; Salomé’s cranky from what feels like a longer day than possible, and I’d

1. Yesterday’s Grammy show was the first one I can remember that I actually thoroughly enjoyed, despite some of the more obvious sympathy awards for Warren Zevon and Luther Vandross. Beyoncé is officially a diva, going toe-to-toe with Prince in the opening number and managing to outshine him on his own songs. (I am curious
Can’t get this damn Jessica Simpson song out of my head: With nothing but a T-shirt on I never felt so beautiful Baby as I do now Now that I’m with you With you, with you, with you Now that I’m with you Grrr… February 25th will mark my one-year anniversary at this job and,

There’s a good reason for the idea that you don’t discuss politics and religion in the company of strangers. Both can inspire passionate debates and sometimes, when facts and opinions aren’t necessarily equal on one or both sides, that passion can overflow into outright hostility. It can interfere with one’s sex life, too! That said,

Thought I saw him there tonight. Could have sworn I saw something like him kneeling and waiting. My heart jumped a bit thinking that maybe he knew and came. But when I blinked, I realized that it was someone else’s him waiting for another her. I could only blink again, this time something wet and

1. How do you spell implosion? D-E-A-N. In less than 24 hours, the Iowa caucus will have its say and, despite the high-profile endorsements, the internet-driven fundraising, the months-long blessing from the media, Howard Dean’s campaign has hit a wall. Hard. It’s looking more and more like the Matrix than Lord of the Rings: a
