Power-less
Friday, March 7th, 2008Okay, look: I fully admit that I have a little bit of a crush (intellectually, although I’ve always had a little thing for redheads ) on Samantha Power.
She’s everything I want to be: an author, a journalist, a talking head.
I’m really sorry that she spoke her mind this time, ’cause I hate to see [...]

………….I have to offer this, tongue firmly in cheek. Happy African Heritage Month! LOL!
P.S. I gave up watching “Friends” reruns a couple years back when I realized I had memorized every other line, so……
A Belated Congrats To………..

Asante Sana, Sembene Ousmane
Monday, February 25th, 2008Didn’t know about this brother until my friend Wendi Dunlap wrote to me about him today.
Here’s the email she sent:
I must admit that I’m not always the first to know things so forgive me if this is “old news.” While watching the Oscars, I discovered that Senegelese filmmaker and writer Sembene Ousmane passed away last [...]
Can’t Wait For……………….
Saturday, February 23rd, 2008……….. “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.” The trailer is here.
I can’t love Indiana Jones more. I just hope the new film won’t be as racist as “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.”
Two Networks, A New Comicbook…….
Saturday, February 9th, 2008Can anything stop “Doctor Who” and its spinoffs “Torchwood” and “The Sarah Jane Adventures” other than them being worn out?
Here’s the link to the new “Doctor Who” comicbook. And if you like cartoons, here.
