1) Brush teeth with mint toothpaste
2) Immediately thereafter pop a Flintstones Gummies vitamin…
3) While your son is getting cabbage-filled pot stickers out of the microwave
What happens is intense, but not a treat for the senses.
Another tastebud curiosity. Explain to me how it is that H.o.p., who is about the finickiest eater [...]

What a remarkable title for a film.
Spoilers galore follow. Stop reading if you ever plan on seeing it.
The story is post-apocalyptic. The film, made in Czechoslovakia about 1967, advances us 15 to 20 years after a day that the last newspaper reported there was unrest in the Middle East (I forget the exact [...]
The citizens of which nation are semi-obsessed with finding meteors?

Swedish people, for whatever reason, are very interested in whether or not the rock they found on their last hike could be a meteorite. Don’t believe me? Follow the link.
And Washington University in St. Louis is sick of it. They don’t want you contacting them any more and asking if you have a [...]
In which I beg for ideas on how to maximize our kitchen counter room

For many years now I’ve been trying to impress on H.o.p. an attitude of being somewhat content with not pursuing, in the name of Green, superconsumerism. This has fallen on deaf ears with respect to toys…and when he first saw the large houses in which his friends live, and their expansive backyards, I worried [...]

(P.S. Reminder to self. Proofreading is good before posting. Proofreading two times is better and still usually not good enough.)
Spring is damn sprung. Already it’s approaching being beastly hot in this apartment which knows neither Autumn nor Spring. Upstairs neighbor climbs their way home up the steps and is tromping [...]

Tonight I’d rather comment on a not-good movie than a good one.
“Lot in Sodom” by James Sibley Watson and Melville Webber is that not-so-good movie. Vintage 1933. It was the bonus film on the Nazimova “Salome” DVD.
I read that Watson and Webber were supposed to have done a fine job with “The Fall [...]
