Just an FYI, this is the final week for the Comedy of Errors at the Pittsburgh Public Theater.  It runs until November 4. I saw it last week with a friend of mine.  Though both of us had studied Shakespeare (her  moreso as a literature major), neither of us had ever seen one of his [...]

* So I just heard an awful cover of “All You Need Is Love” in a diaper commercial.  As the baby bounced around in Luvs, I’m sure John Lennon twitched in his grave. * As much as I love pumpkin-flavored-coffees, I’m glad they’re not offered year-round.  It would take fun out of looking forward to them.   * The Three Rivers Arts [...]

I went to a local river park yesterday.  I’m glad I went, it rained today and will for the next couple days.  I will really miss those leaves.

Did you know Americans eat 35 million pounds of candy corn a year?   I’m proud to announce that I do not contribute to that statistic– I abhor candy corn.  I make up for it in plain M&Ms. I’ve been internet-less since Thursday.  It hasn’t been too bad though; I spent the past few days running around and catching [...]

First off: happy birthday to Olive Riley, the world’s oldest blogger!  She’ll officially be 108 on the 20th (my friend Liz’s birthday), but she celebrated it today.  Happy birthday! The leaves are hitting their peak colors.  Coming home from work, the hills are a mosaic of warmth, reds, oranges, and yellow.  It’s absolutely gorgous.  Almost [...]

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_qyvU6_7nE]  I hope I’m that cool when I’m 88.  And you know, a well-known writer to boot.

In case you shun yourself away from society, Radiohead‘s latest download-only-for-now album In Rainbows was available today.  I just downloaded and opened it in iTunes.  I’m only a couple songs in, but I really like it, more than Hail to the Thief, possibly as much as Kid A.  I can’t make a final call right now. I know [...]

This weekend was a brillant reminder of why I need to travel more often.  It was needed. Unfortunately, my digital camera was dead before we got there.  I forgot the cord to charge it too.  Jennie got great shots, though. It’s not cool to not have money for the toll booth.  Just sayin’.

I finally updated my flickr.  I’ve been really bad about uploading my pictures, which is why lately its been an photograph-less blog.    One of my biggest pet peeves are chatty radio DJs, especially in the morning.  No matter how many hours of sleep I get, I probably need four more, and the last thing I need to hear [...]

I’m not the best driver, but damn, please don’t kill me out there.  Especially in the morning.  I’m not quite with it until about 9am, but apparently if I’m not going 90 (in a 65), I get a bumper up my tailpipe.  Not cool.  Thanks.  – Andrea
