Living By Instinct
After watching days of hysterical ARCTIC BLAST!!! news coverage, I’ve had a kind of epiphany (huh, that’s appropriate for the holiday season.) From here on out, I refuse to watch anymore news coverage of snow events. That’s right, I’m living on instinct. I’ve realized that my years in Portland have turned me into a whiny […]

Otherwise, Imago‘s Biglittlethings will continue as planned; Public Playhouse‘s radio adaptation of It’s a Wonderful Life is a go; Portland Center Stage’s A Christmas Carolis still on, and as their marketing […]

Cancelling New York Fashion Week
Sorry to start the day with (more) bad news, but it seems like designers are dropping like flies off the schedule of February’s New York Fashion Week, citing the diminished number of buyers and press coming out due to the ailing global economy.

Good Morning, News!
Obama picks evangelical homophobe/anti-choice dickhole pastor Rick Warren to give the inaugural invocation next month. Sorry, Obama, but we’re going to hold you to that whole “change” thing. Obama chooses three veteran regulators to his team to revamp regulatory rules. No word yet on whether they’re homophobic, anti-choice bigots. President Bush: “I didn’t compromise my […]
