About Me


I like low comedy, old horror, and people who find themselves suppressing laughter because it would just be wrong, but they can't quite manage.I'm basically a homebody but when I get out, I truly get out. I sew, I bake ... but when I sew, the results are novelty items for horror bands or Sgt. Pepper costumes. When I bake, it's usually pies, and only if I know the trees or bushes or vines the fruit came from.I have no idea what I'm doing with a camera, but I've been told my entertainment coverage is getting pretty good.

Drunken, groping punk kids and classic rock!

There was drama both onstage and off during the local production of "Tommy," featuring one of my offspring. Luckily, his drama was on-stage. It was another 15-year-old responsible for the rest. T...

Thought for the day

If you were a tough guy looking for a tough-guy nickname that hasn't been used, you could do worse than "Grease Fire."

Celebrities and MySpace

Do well-known people ever establish MySpace accounts? There is no reason why they wouldn't. But, if I were well-known, I think I'd be tempted to post my own MySpace account, but make it look bogus, ...

Xanga avatars

I am probably personally responsible for more Xanga avatars than any other individual on the planet. Teens like the Xanga.  And they're in school plays, bands, etc.  I take picture...

Kids, legacies

Do not run down the youth of today around me. Some of my best friends are kids. Some of my best friends are my own kids, even. The knowledge base they have to assimilate, compared to what I grew ...

If there should be a hell ...
