Weekend Reading List

Well it’s Saturday evening and if you’re like the author of this site then you’ve been watching basketball all day and are about to go bury a dead chicken in the backyard in the hopes that the Jamaican voodoo spell you bought on eBay will be enough to make Texas lose to Baylor. Or maybe you’ve just dusted the chips off your shirt and slid off the couch after watching the Rocky marathon on cable.

Either way, feel free to take advantage of the wealth of entertainment offered below. See you next week.

  • Goodbye Harry-Boo

    A friend of mine’s cat was killed this week by a dog doing what dogs usually do. Irresponsible pet ownership is a crime and it should be treated that way more often. I wrote this a few years ago but have thought about it this week while contemplating the painful nature of losing animals that become as close to us as any human being. Godspeed Orion.

  • Garden State / Million Dollar Baby

    Looking to rent a slightly older movie? You couldn’t go wrong with either of these choices that I rambled on about and dug up in the archives. Million Dollar Baby is heartbreaking and Garden State spoke to me like no other movie I can recall. Hit the rental store.

  • Tales of a Small Town Gangsta

    This entry was written about a wedding I attended in small town Texas back in 1995. I thought about it the other day because I may or may not be attending my cousin’s wedding next month. The same cousin who didn’t attend my wedding or send a gift. Not that I’m bitter.

  • Hazardous to your Health

    Going out to eat this weekend? By God, make sure they have plenty of Sweet and Low in stock if you require a regular dosage like I do. Things could get ugly otherwise.
