A combination of (a) my hastily written opinions/reviews about my latest pop culture excursions; (b) inner musings that may come of those excursions and/or unrelated phenomena; (c) good practice toward, and a low-budget prototype for, an eventual webzine; and (d) whatever seems to work well that day.

The "No time to update" update of the week is . . . Go see "Lost in Translation" ASAP! More later, but Bill Murray gives a wonderful, seemingly greatly improvised performance, and Scarlett Johansen is marvelous, as well. One of my favorite moments of music wisely used in film occurs here; without giving too much away, I hope, I'm specifically referring to the scene when The Jesus and Mary Chain's "Just Like Honey" kicks in. If you already know the song, you'll likely agree.

Tonight is my 25th consecutive performance as a ComedySportz improv player; tomorrow night I have two shows in Portland, when a Eugene team including myself takes on a Portland team. Their venue is high-tech, their audiences large and hot, and it should be a blast.
