The Hits Just Keep On Comin' (Free subscription) | 11/16/2009
Everybody hates something, and often, our choices are highly personal. Nevertheless, there’s a certain consensus about the most reviled Top-40 hits of all time: “Muskrat Love,” “You’re Having My Baby,” “Run Joey Run,” and “Seasons in the Sun” would make most people’s lists, I think. And “You Light Up My Life,” too. In my...

Up here in Wisconsin, we’ve had a whole string of days this week best described as leaden. Gray, windy, spitting raindrops—such a day isn’t an artistic masterpiece, but it’s not necessarily bad, either. Bright frosty mornings and golden sunny afternoons are October also, but blustery weather definitely has its place. I was out in it [...]

After quite some time we had one of the fluorescent lights at home, fuse. Getting to a store and looking at shelves with bulbs, I was prompted to try an incandescent light bulb, priced at Rs. 13 over the fluorescent one priced at over a hundred and fifty bucks. I know fluorescent bulbs consume less energy, emit white light, are less warmer, and remain lit for a far longer time than incandescent ones....

One from the Heart famously bankrupted Francis Ford Coppola and Zoetrope Studios after its budget shot through the clouds and its box office take sunk to the bottom of the ocean. It cost over 25 million (roughly 119 million adjusted for inflation) and took in only a little over 600,000 (roughly 3 million today). One need not have certification as an accountant to see those numbers don't come out the...

I didn’t look in a mirror for fear of what I would see: Yellow eyes looking back at me. A vampire. A mongrel. A girl hoping to heaven she didn’t have glaucoma; bunions were bad enough. I wiped my tears on the tissue he gave me, streaking gold on white and wondered how I looked to strangers, to the people on the street, in the metro. Would anyone notice? Did anyone look strangers in the...
