2005 was pretty much Lynnfield Place Sucks Year here at T&G. Sad to see that something so horrible — exponentially worse than shoddy maintenance work and pissy office people — would happen there: Memphis police are questioning two people in the death of MPD Officer Tony Hayes. Officers found a body Thursday night in the trunk of Officer Hayes’ 1999 Lexus at the Lynnfield Place Apartments in East Memphis. Investigators say the man had been…
Remember how I told you that a good part of my day is spent laughing at my own ridiculousness? Today I did something so stupid that I am contractually bound to tell you about it. The story technically starts last night, when I got home from the grocery at 1 in the morning, and started shoving cold stuff into the fridge with reckless abandon. I do this every time I go to the grocery, and…
The new* Pinback album came out Tuesday, yet it’s nowhere to be found. What gives?? *Sort of; it’s basically older tracks released for the first time in the states
ACK has weighed in on the whole American-feminists-Ignore-fundamentalist-Islam meme, and, while I appreciate his views and attention to the matter, I just have to nitpick a little bit with what he says in defense of Mark Rose, who didn’t even give me the courtesy of a link when he “addressed” my complaints, harrumph! So anyways, ACK says: At issue is this: Conservatives see feminists, quite correctly in most cases, as embracing the full portfolio of…
Okay, just one cankle-biting ferret. But when else was I going to get a chance to spoof these guys?
The AP reports that Katie Couric’s takeover of the CBS evening news went off without a hitch, can you imagine? A woman who has been living in insipid morning-news land actually pulled it off! Magnificent! But please don’t ever forget that as a woman, she is automatically subject to this kind of prose: As the end credits rolled, Couric, wearing a white jacket over a black shirt and skirt, was leaning against the edge of…
Sometimes the teenager in me wells up and spews her immature ridiculousness and sometimes it happens while I’m at work and I spend the next few hours sheepishly hoping that no one heard me even though I know good and well everyone — even my boss — did, and I wonder if I am single-handedly making all working twentysomethings look bad by proxy. So, working twentysomethings who are more mature than I am, I am…
• The weather, like, literally.• The fact that I will finally get to meet Aunt B in a few weeks. • TV on the Joey’s new venture, Manhattan Project (“designed” by yours truly) has launched and is ready for your perusal. I’m still working on some details, like the sidebar and the about me section and the blockquote code. And if I can get Mr. Fritz to space between his paragraphs and stop using Lucida-Sans,…
The universe conspired Sunday to get us in the car and out to the drive-in for its 40th birthday weekend. I will agree to see just about anything if it’s in drive-in form and the weather is as perfect as it was yesterday. So Phil and I decided we’d suffer through The Wicker Man to see Talladega Nights again, and end the night on a comedy. And, as predicted, TN was just as funny the…
Yesterday Phil’s mom was in town visiting so we went to eat Mexican and, afterward, wiled away a couple of hours at Bo Jo’s Antiques on Summer. If I’d had some disposable income and a lot more time, I would have come home with two paintings and some other useless trinkets. Phil would have come home with a Halloween costume — a stoned M&M. More Bo Jo’s funtimes are here.
