Friday, December 1st, 2006What do you do when you live in a linen closet that doesn’t have room for a TV and your five roommates have overtaken the community television to watch season after season of Beverly Hills 90210 and you have finals to study for and papers to write but it’s Friday Night and there’s a [...]
“Santa Spectacular”
Friday, November 17th, 2006Tonight in Pittsburgh is what’s known as Light Up Night, or more appropriately, the Santa Spectacular. Among a crowd of thousands, children and fairies sing praises in the name of Christmas, all leading up to the grand entrance of Santa, who, I kid you not, throws festive fireballs at surrounding buildings, triggering lights and [...]
TCM: Relived, again
Thursday, October 5th, 2006 Last weekend, I kicked off my expedition of Pittsburgh’s haunted houses at Scream Asylum. When it comes to these places, I’m very good at acting like a total hardass until I’m two feet from the entrance and then latching onto whoever is naive enough to bring me along.

‘Tis the season!
Tuesday, February 14th, 2006 Merry Christmas! Happy Valentines Day!

I have read so many anti-Valentines Day entries over the past couple of days that it has made me love the holiday even more than I had been [...]
I can’t avoid it any longer
Sunday, December 25th, 2005 Merry almost Christmas. May all of your ugly sweaters have receipts and your new jeans stretch enough to compensate for 5,000 cookies.
Dear Santa,
Bring me Hugh Laurie. And please permanently eliminate Kirsten Dunst from all future feature presentations. Thanks.
