Stupid Tuesday questions, accessory wall edition [with bonus “Project Runway” rant!]

April 30, 2013Russell Saunders 28 Comments

Let’s pretend. You are a star of a fashion-based reality show.  You are one of the show’s signature charms.  You inhabit the “avuncular mentor” role.  You are both impossibly erudite and genuinely warm, in a somehow winningly stuffy way.  The… Continue Reading →

And I’m back!

April 30, 2013Rose Woodhouse 121 Comments

Hi all! After a harrowing semester where my kid was quite sick (fine now), I fell so far behind on my teaching that I will get terrible evaluations, and I got a doctorate, I’m here! Dr. Woodhouse, PhD. (Note: from… Continue Reading →

A preemptive request to people on my side

April 29, 2013Russell Saunders 48 Comments

As Kazzy has noted over at the main page, NBA center Jason Collins has come out as gay.  (I feel vaguely fraudulent typing that sentence, as it implies I knew that he was a center, or even what a “center”… Continue Reading →

For the writers over at “Scandal”

April 29, 2013Russell Saunders 44 Comments

Let’s get a couple of things out of the way right off the bat, shall we? 1)  I am not a consistent “Scandal” viewer, or even a particular fan.  The Better Half enjoys it, and sometimes I watch along with… Continue Reading →

That’s it. I’m old.

April 25, 2013Russell Saunders 55 Comments

As is my wont, earlier today I was noodling around the Internet.  While on the one hand I lament how disconnected I’ve become from some of the “old media” I used to enjoy (on which I will write more in… Continue Reading →

Stupid Tuesday questions, deviated phalanges edition

April 23, 2013Russell Saunders 26 Comments

Behold a collection of toes. At first glance, perhaps they appear entirely normal to you.  Indeed, they are normal in almost all respects.  There is the standard number, and they all point more or less in the correct direction.  None… Continue Reading →

Yes, that’s right. This man won an electoral majority somewhere

April 22, 2013Russell Saunders 57 Comments

I gather from my Twitter feed that there were some pretty obnoxious things said in the aftermath of the Boston marathon bombing and subsequent manhunt for the suspects.  Picking the Most Jaw-Droppingly Awful C0mments winner requires a more comprehensive knowledge… Continue Reading →

Because we could all use something dumb to make fun of

April 18, 2013Russell Saunders 5 Comments

So, news-wise, it’s been an utterly horrible week.  An as-yet-unidentified suspect or suspects bombed the Boston Marathon.  Someone mailed ricin to President Obama.  Senate Republicans blocked a gun control measure favored by pretty much everyone who isn’t Wayne LaPierre.  And… Continue Reading →

It shouldn’t take courage to run a race

April 16, 2013Russell Saunders 4 Comments

Getting a number to run in the Boston Marathon is like getting a golden ticket to tour Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory.  Or it is for a guy like me.  Since the likelihood that I would run a qualifying time and… Continue Reading →

Millicent Tuesday questions, trollop edition

April 16, 2013Russell Saunders 150 Comments

[For those of you unfamiliar with Millicent, her introductory post is here.] For good or ill, the Critter is a big fan of “Dora the Explorer.”  While I’m not entirely on board with the show’s propensity to encourage viewers to… Continue Reading →
