I was bussing at the State when I started at the newspaper. I tried to keep that going as long as possible, but the hours didn't mesh. One of my favourite jobs. I got paid to go to every show and all I had to do was walk around and pick up empties. Sometimes they'd put me on coat check.

E.B. White wrote that "Humor can be dissected, as a frog can, but the thing dies in the process." I wonder what he'd say about malls.

I hope Sam Wiebe's new book will be so successful that someone will eventually publish a crime novel called SHOT IN VANCOUVER and everyone will appreciated the riff on the non fiction book, SHOT IN VANCOUVER.

Anna Maria Hong

I shoved her into that oven because I instinctively knew that it would be the end to something that I had already felt working its way around me like a fog or a cloud of smoke, a pattern, in the old parlance. I killed her because I didn't want to hear another heroic or awful story from those vehement lips, another woe - rational or ludicrous - from this person who could not break the habit of malice in spite of her extraordinary powers.

I think my friend needs to come explain to my family what exactly he likes about that movie.

Kind Hearts and Coronets was strongly recommended to me, and I spent some social capital to gather the whole family to watch. Kind of a dud. The premise did all the heavy lifting. It would be a good movie to remake, because you could make it funny. It wants to be funny. It just needs jokes.

The mimes replaced peep shows, giving us the jerk off hand gesture.

Mimes were a transitional pestilence between the 70s Taxi Driver/Serpico/French Connection urban rot and the 90s Disneyfication of Times Square.
