Summer Camp Begins

Big Brother 10 starts tonight, July 13th. Who are these people? Why are they there? And what in the world is Julie wearing now? We're hoping for a Janey or Dr Will to emerge from the pack. Could it be the 75 year old Jerry who steals the show? Join in the hamster snark on the BB10 forums.

5 Things Boys (and Men) Should Know

2008-06-08T15:43:24Z

Of course, five only scratches the surface. And to be fair, there are just as many things women should know. But for now, let's explore some of the basics. Read what Oda has to say on the Arts & Dafts blog. Sometimes it's less art, more daft, especially when it comes to love.

From the Sublime to the... Not

Mike Jefferson has been watching movies recently. His choices have been all over the map, from "Before the Devil Knows You're Dead" to "September Dawn" (what?). There's a comedy disc from Drew Hastings, a boxing flick with Sam Jackson and the inside info that our reviewer used to lace up the gloves and if you love Kim Bassinger, he recommends Even Money. Read them all on Coffeerooms onDVD.

Oda has been working tech on a new show, a musical version of Saved! Have you ever wondered what it takes to get from the page to the stage? She gives a taste of what it?s like in her latest on Arts and Dafts. Click the photo on the side to see her "office", in the pit, back to the stage. Who knew? Not me.

You should know, along with not being fair, life is bizarre as well.

Oda explains it all on Arts and Dafts. The art? See the photo. The Daft? Read about her day.

Michael Jefferson reviews Atonement and forces me to add a small "editor's note", something I rarely do. But he left out, in my oh so humble opinion, the key player in the movie. Not in the book, mind you, but definitely in the movie. See if you agree, read it Atonement onDVD.

Are Elmo and Bugs an Item?

Happy April! To celebrate, it's Elmo! But wait, why the Christmas stocking? And why is he hanging out with Bugs? Click the photo to get the details, or better yet, visit Arts and Dafts and let Ry explain the whole scene plus her second Elmo spotting a week later. Yes, life in NYC is everything you've imagined.

Weekend Showcase - Dusk by eliz.avery

eliz. avery does beautiful stained glass mosaics. This is working sketch for her next window:

There is a line in a Rilke poem:
"Sometimes your life is a stone in you,
Sometimes a star."
This little water color sketch is my attempt to touch on that.
Will be more rich and intense in glass.
