Geek Chic
One battered old-faithful dictionary on my shelves, published circa 1975, defines a geek as “a carnival performer who performs sensationally morbid or disgusting acts, as biting off the head of a live chicken. ” You may be deeply relieved to know that I’ve upgraded to a squeaky-new Canadian Oxford, although I can’t claim it’s a whole lot more flattering:geek noun esp. N. Amer. informal 1. An uninteresting, ineffectual, socially inept person; a nerd. 2. A person thoroughly devoted to one usu.

The mickey mouse club!
The Mickey Mouse Club might just be one of the longest running Disney shows though I can't say that for sure it was certainly one of those shows that I watched as a kid and my mom watched before me. It was a variety tv show that was popular during its original release in the 1950s. Hosted by an adult but most of the actors were children who danced, sang, did skits, pretty much all the things you'd expect of a variety program but with the stars being kids!Many kids today would associate the sho

Bootlegged Trailer for 'Race to Witch Mountain'
Well, where did this come from, I wonder? Trailer Addict has come into possession of a trailer forRace to Witch Mountain, Disney's remake of its own Escape from Witch Mountain, and actually for a PG-rated kid-friendly action flick, it looks pretty good.Of course, we're also biased, being fans of almost every actor in the trailer,The Rock, AnnaSophia Robb (The Bridge to Terabithia), Carla Gugino, and bad guyCiaran Hinds. And remember, this is the same studio that just two years ago revis

A fire wrap-up and an anti-Prop 8 rally update
Why am I blogging on a Saturday night? Because PCH to Santa Monica, where I was supposed to meet friends for dinner and a movie, is a parking lot. An hour into the drive I phoned in my regrets, pulled a U-ie and came home. Fire is the reason for the jam -- make that fires -- so here's the latest: The fire in the OC that began in Corona (see photo), tore through Yorba Linda and reached Anaheim Hills has burned 2,000 acres and forced an estimaged 10,000 people from their homes.

Tam O'Shanter
This is a long post, so I hope you have the patience to read it!I recently found a book that I have been wanting to read for some time. “Poezi” dhe nje ese nga T. Karlajli në Shqip nga origjinali by Dhori Qiriazi. The book is a collection of (translated) poems by Robert Burns.I found this interesting as I am interested in Dhori Qiriazi. I still am on the lookout for his book on Christinaity in Albania, but back to his Burns translations. What really interested me, was not the fact that the
