For almost two years I've written about arts and entertainment on this blog. I never write about myself, though I have strong opinions about everything. This post is an exception. Concurrently with my daily job as a journalist I've created something that fits into both categories of arts and enterta...

I'm sitting in the dark theater. On the big screen a young lady stands quietly in the kitchen of a fairly large summer home. She's calm, a little nervous, but calm, but not the girl in the seat next to me. She screams. LOUD! I realize that a blurry figure with a bag over his head has appeared in the...

'Not Fit for Human Consumption' is the new album from Ant Neely. You may never have heard of him, he was all new to me too. His music, however, may have crossed your ear. As part of his band, Subthunk, he's been heard on TV series such as 'Boston Legal', 'Samantha Who' and 'Six Feet Under'. 'Not Fit...

As with anyone else, I happen to stumble upon new and unheard music. This happened today when I listened to All Songs Considered on NPR. Antony and the Johnsons was featured on the show, and though the band has been around for several years now, it was all new to me. One song in particular caught my...

The Ig Nobel Prize is given to scientists who have achieved something extraordinary FUNNY, organized by the scientific magazine, Annals of Impro...

The JBS controversy has come to an end. Apparently, the Danish manufacturer of men's underwear, JBS, has raised the white flag (or some other piece of white cloth) and has gone back to show naked men on its website. The contentious campaign stated that "men don't want to look at naked men" and showe...

I usually don't pay much attention to jokes sent to me on email. Most of the time, people are just forwarding old cracks, and I rarely amuse myself dragging tons of spam and bulk emails to my computer's waste bin. However, one such email caught my attention today: A scan of an alleged job applicatio...

...and now they hate me too. Not so many days ago, a music enthusiast was invited to listen to the upcoming album from Metallica. When he got home, he posted a review of the album on The Quietus - he shouldn't have. Apparently, Metallica got pissed off and forced him to wipe it off the Internet. So,...

100 reporters get a pink slip from Washington Post these days. The paper is one of the most respected in USA, and it has received several Pulitzers over the years. Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward, two of Washington Post's reporters decades ago, unearthed the entire Watergade scandal that lead to Pre...
