A Dude and His Drink

A Dude and His Drink
What is it about the The Dude? The Big Lebowski has made an impression both on me, and on popular culture as a whole, that seems to be greater than the movie itself should warrant. Thinking about the film I can’t think of a particular theme, character, or image that I can identify as being...

MirrorMask

MirrorMask
Earlier today, I stumbled across a reference to Dave McKean and Neil Gaiman’s MirrorMask that had me wistfully thinking back to when I caught the film for the first time back in 2008. The film itself actually came out three years prior to that in 2005, but I was late attending that particular visual...

How to Host Yard Sale

How to Host Yard Sale
Those of you who follow this site know that we recently had a yard sale. By all accounts it was a tremendous success, as is attested by the increased amount of space in our garage and money in the bank. But for me the true indication that this was a successful yard sale was that everyone seemed to have...
