"Experimental filmmaker Todd Haynes burst upon the scene two years after his graduation from Brown University with his now-infamous 43-minute cult treasure " Superstar : The Karen Carpenter Story" (1987). Seizing upon the inspired gimmick of using Barbie and Ken dolls to sympathetically recount the story of the pop star's death from anorexia, he spent months making miniature dishes, chairs, costumes, Kleenex and Ex-Lax boxes, and Carpenters' records to create the film's intricate, doll-size mise-en-scene. The result was both audacious and accomplished as the dolls seemingly ceased to be dolls [...]

My new dog ate my belt. The little pup bastard. I'd had that belt for probably ten years. My other dog at another belt I'd had for probably 25 years. I went to pick-up my boys from b-ball camp and told them about the dog eating my belt and they carried on suitably "Oh for the love of gawd what is wrong with dogs?!" they exclaimed. I told 'em i'd have to go get another belt at the thrift store. After we got in the car my youngest said "Hey dad...well uh...I know you are going to die in not [...]

I like to listen to our local Tropicale station. I only get the chance to listen to the station for about ten minutes at a time driving from here to there so I have never heard the same song twice. I love that I have no idea what they are singing about but since I have no idea what they are singing, and since the station does not have a site with a playlist, it makes it tough to find any of the songs online. It took me about an hour to find this one and i've played it [...]
