Wouldn't it be great to have a Picasso hanging on your wall? Just think if someone had invested in his work when he was still a "young artist." Their small investment would yield a very heavy interest! Now, you have your chance to purchase works from the next Picasso! Join the St. Vincent's Day Care on May 2nd from 4-7 p.m. to to purchase works of art created by their 250 students. (Sculptures, pa...

Unfortunately, today is not your day...  As the temperature outside plummets, so will your luck.  Someone close to you will barf numerous times on the carpet this morning, perhaps even a pet.  Keep the paper towels and Oxy Clean handy!  Have patience, as your professional environment will become complicated.  Ignore overweight, poison-sp...

All right, all right, I’ll admit it. The writer’s strike hasn’t been all bad. Despite the fact that I would prefer to continuously bitch and moan about shortened seasons, uncertain futures for some of my staple shows, and the general jankiness of the programs that have returned sans WGA staff, I have to confess that I have managed to, through careful perusal...

So, Valentine's Day began as a Catholic holiday that celebrated martyred saint, Valentinus. Now, how we came to spend this day wooing our beloved with chocolates, flowers and promises we don't intend to keep, when it originally was to celebrate a man's death, I don't know and I really don't have the time to research it right now. Valentine...

Back in high school, I had a history teacher whose glaucoma entitled him to imbibe in herbs - and not the kind you'd put in a simmering pot of pasta sauce. He was wise, worldly, and weird. Students loved him for his bizzare presentations of the high points in ancient Egyptian history - monarchs buried in sand, mummies that made stuffy English adventurers richer than Midas, pyramids towering over t...

Dum, dum, duh, dum, dum, dum, dum dum… Do you think it is beyond cheesy that I have the “Wedding March” as the special ring tone that chimes out whenever my fiancé phones his wife-to-be? Do you think it is pathetic that I obsess over the precise shade of fuchsia for my bridesmaids, and scour the web for hours on end to find the perfect accessories? Am I abou...

Since the writer's strike that began in November, late night comedy shows have been, well, filled with a lot of deja vu. That's because they've been showing reruns, and since most of the jokes are topical and time-sensitive, shows like The Daily Show, Colbert Report, The Late Show and The Tonight Show have been mostly unwatchable. Well, the best of the night crew (with all du...

The show was last night, and the review's in: www.nme.com/news/led-zeppelin/33079Footage is rolling into youtube already, and from what I've heard so far, the guys sound tight as hell. Plant still has the swagger, Page's Gibson sounds as massive as ever and Jones' bass is a solid wall. Now lets get Zep over the Atlant...

 • Liven up your dinner. Turkey’s so last millennium. Try peacock or peahen, an eagle or skip poultry altogether, man up, and make Beef Wellington. • Substitute side dishes such as mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, green beans and stuffing with hot wings, mini-tacos, mozzarella sticks and jalapeno poppers. Think about it: Beef Wellington as your main course along...
