Gleeful pre-post aside, that is more an exclamation! than an aside: Chris has started writing again! Please to enjoy: www.culturecide.com

It’s perhaps no well-kept secret that I adore movies. Of all shapes, sizes and genres, and all wonderfully timeless and horrible topical story-lines. I like them big and small. I like them all. Except for [...]

“You there baby?”
“Hi!”
“Hi! How’s your day going so far?”
“Good, but BORING.”
“Really?”
“Yeah, definitely. There is hardly anyone here and I’m not feeling motivated at all.”
“I have something that will make your day exciting. What would you think if I told you had a surprise for you?”
“Um, you didn’t buy another plasma t.v. without telling me did [...]

from the t.v. via The History Channel: “The earth (dramatic pause for effect) will be DEAD.”
“Awesome.”
“Yeah, this show is pretty uplifting.”
“Ah, Science, never quite putting it gently.”
The History Channel: “At that time humans will have to look to other planets to inhabit in order to ensure their survival.”
“I really don’t want to be around when [...]

What follows is a true conversation that occurred yesterday afternoon. No names have been changed to protect the sometimes musically dim-witted:
“Ah, old Van Morrison. Yes.”
“Van Morrison. Of ‘The Doors’ right?”
“Um, no honey. That’s JIM Morrison.”
“Oh, right. I always! get them confused.”
“Because Van Morrison sounds NOTHING like Jim Morrison?”
“No, because they have the SAME LAST NAME.”
“Wow. [...]

This past weekend Chris and I traipsed coast-ward, to spend two days soaking up sun wind and sand, and while there was only swimming to be experienced on a dare, it was, as usual, breathtakingly beautiful.

We started our two-day mini getaway in Astoria and worked our way south on the 101 until we reached Lincoln [...]

“Hey, where did you get those moccasin things you’re wearing?
“These? I’ve had these.”
“They look like…like… Wait, what’s the name of that Native American girl?”
“Pocahontas?”
“Yes! Pocahontas! I was going to call you ‘Sasquatch,’ but I knew that wasn’t right.”

Addendum: Thank you! to everyone who heartily (and so thoughtfully!) participated in the name-change discussion these past few [...]

After pushing the play arrow on Lionel Richie’s I Love You via Rhapsody, he looks right at me from across the desk and says, “Oh, yes. I did.”
Then, after he’s finished singing THE ENTIRE SONG into a microphone fashioned from his left fist:
“The Jernigan House: The only place in the world where you will hear [...]

Did you click through from you respective feed readers? Did you hit control refresh? Did you notice you weren’t in Kansas anymore, Toto?
Recently we here at Casa de Jernigan were feeling a bit redesign inclined. That is to say, we were feeling a bit redesign inclined until about 10pm two Saturday nights ago, when we [...]

This handsome fellow is a bit older today (just a smidgen, a tad, a year):

Happy! Birthday, baby. I love you endlessly, more even than I love buying you cards and taking pictures of you taking pictures.

Love, me

Excerpt from an email I sent Chris today:
08.18.04! That’s when you started Lateshow.org, which wasn’t called “Lateshow” at all at the time, and is now called something else entirely, but anyway, you know what I mean.
