No : New Facebook Layout

This goes beyond my fear of change, and right to the heart of poor design. I LOATHE the new facebook layout. Why the hell would I want to see someone’s wall posts before their relationship status, education and work info? That’s the information that allows me to asses my worth in comparison to others.



No: Cuil Yes: Awkward

So, I’m not a fan of Cuil. I’ll admit that I’m not one for change, but after fifteen minutes of needless tooling around I’m still not sold on their search results layout. Besides, there’s nothing about me on Cuil when I enter my name, but every damn thing kyletm ever wrote appears with a nifty picture. Where’s the justice?

I AM a fan of the fact that not five minutes ago 4 of the most searched terms on Google involved Cuil. AWKWARD.

Sadly, everyone’s favorite Ma passed away today at the age of 84.

Well, someone had a change of heart…or something.  While Mrs. Broderick may have been the Unsexiest of 2007, she’s now the “unexpected crush” of August 08.  I can’t help but wonder if this has anything to do with her recent mole removal….



DC – Drama City : The Folger, The Folio, and the Fool
July 17, 2008, 10:12 am
Filed under: FEATURES, Theatre

So…the man pictured above is the very same man who brought a folio into our own Folger Shakespeare Library nearly a month ago. Raymond Scott’s folio is now believed to have been stolen from Durham University in England ten years ago. Mr. Scott denies this adamantly, and while an FBI investigation is pending – he continues to believe that the folio will be returned to him. (more…)

No Way
Unsurprisingly, this isn’t happening.

DC theatres like to keep it on the DL in the summer. It’s hot, it’s humid, and tourists aren’t usually bustling from the Smithsonian over to Studio Theatre. And before you go there, let’s not revisit the concept of DC’s “Fringe” Festival.

No: Possible Early Release for Susan Atkins

No, I don’t see why Susan Atkins should EVER get out of her sentence early. Compassionate release? It’s not like the Tate murders were “compassionate.”



Yes: Strawberry Shortcake No: New Strawberry Shortcake

I LOVED Strawberry Shortcake when I was a kid. I watched that cartoon video about her moving so many times that the song still gets stuck in my head. “Packing up and moving out. It’s time to move to a brand new house. We’ve had our fun right here, but now it’s time to pack our gear”…(I could go on…). I was none too pleased when they revamped Miss Shortcake the first time. I was just straight up outraged when I saw this.

DC – Drama City: Criticizing The Imaginary and the Invalid
June 12, 2008, 10:38 am
Filed under: FEATURES, Theatre

Last night a friend and I saw the Shakespeare Theatre Company’s production of Moliere’s The Imaginary Invalid. Keith Baxter , a frequent STC collaborator, directed the 17th Century French comedy adapted by Alan Drury. Within the first five minutes of the production I was reminded just how embarrassing theatre can be – embarrassing for the actors, embarrassing for the audience, embarrassing for the 100+ STC staff members listed in the program.
