Good Grief!

People everywhere are writing about Fahrenheit 9/11. I mostly agree with this review at IMDB, so I won’t add to the discussion except to say that, whatever else you think of him, Michael Moore does not make boring movies.
But why oh why is Ray Bradbury being such a cranky old curmudgeon about the film’s […]

Curses, I missed the best part of Welcome America—watching Rocky on the steps of the Art Museum. For those who don’t know, Welcome America is Philly’s annual Fourth of July festival. During the week leading up to the big day, we eat ice cream, watch movies, eat hoagies, see concerts, eat food from […]

Thanks to Sassy J for helping out on Good Grief! last week. I, too, marvel at her ability to make a connection between homogeneous apples and Michael Jackson. Sassy, sorry about Short-shorts guy.
For those interested in supplemental reading re: the topics of injected plastic and looking perfect, I give you the following (both […]

Montreal is a fun and friendly city, but the people there dress funny. What were they wearing?

Lots and lots of flipped collars.
Mesh shirts.
Parachute pants.
Leg warmers.
Acid washed jeans.

I don’t know which way this stuff is flowing, but I suggest a swift crackdown at the border. Now that SARS and mad cow disease are under control, we […]

What a great month! A leave of absence from the soulless office park, a trip to Canada, and now a Powerpuff Girls font.

Not since I almost got busted by the German train police for traveling on a phony Eurorail pass have I visited a place where English is not the primary language. It might be cheating to count Montreal, since the city is English-friendly, but that didn’t stop my inner dorky tourist from getting excited about […]

A Sassy J guest post!
Why does the U.S., supposed nation of so many cultures, ethnicities, and religious affiliations (or lack thereof), insist on dumbing down its taste buds? Why must fruit, such as the all-American apple, look perfect (Red Delicious or Fuji, which is half Red Delicious anyway) but taste so bland? What […]

A new Good Grief! mix of the week is ready to go, but I scrapped the mp3 toy because it’s time consuming and behaves erratically. I found out how to make an “m3u” file, which will hopefully work better.
This week’s mix is all fluff and frivolity:

Fountains of Wayne – Denise. Sounds like a […]

A Sassy J guest post!
As any woman can attest to, our anatomy and the oversight of architects and builders (whom think that equal size bathrooms for men and women in any public venue are adequate), force us to perform strange dances and exercise interior muscles while desperately waiting for “the girls room” to become available. […]

Sassy J, the unmatched queen of sassiness, has graciously agreed to write a few guest posts while I’m in Canada (all other Good Grief! content this week has been cleverly pre-scheduled). A word of warning: Sassy J will try to sass you, but you must not let her!
