A Fashionably Late Feliz Navidad

You know I like being fashionably late for everything, and Christmas is no exception.

Look forward to my 2011 New Year’s good wishes around June of 2013!

The Ultimate Fuck You

Sometimes comedy is the most sublime way to say “fuck you” to those who’ve done you wrong. A nice kick in the cojones to the bad guys, without one drop of blood spilled.

The Jewish people are masters of spinning their suffering into comedy gold, with a tradition predating the Marx Brothers by centuries. (For [...]

I'm BACK in the Saddle Again!

I am a typical American. I love the idea of vacations, and the first day of them. After that, I want to kill myself, and this is why: I start to relax. This makes me stop my obsessive-compulsive blogging/Tweeting/posting bullshit to Facebook, an activity which makes me feel like I am living. And then I [...]

A todos nuestros padres y madres

A nadie le gusta pensar en estas cosas – de hecho, es un tema bastante tabú – pero no todas las madres son buenas madres. Y hay padres que tampoco merecen el título.

Las luces y decoraciones de las casas, el espíritu de celebración, las fiestas, las cartas de tus amigos, todo ese cerdo prohibido… Yummmmmmm!

Pues eso; [...]

Merry Christmas, but...

I love Christmas. Always have. Sure, my family didn’t celebrate it like Christians do, but the truth is that most Jews adore Christmas. What’s not to love? The decorations on houses, the spirit of goodwill and celebration, the parties, the cards from friends and family, all that forbidden honey-baked ham… mmmmmm!

That’s all; I want to [...]

Semana Santa

Well, it’s Semana Santa, whatever the hell that is, and the world’s afire with especially pious energy here in Barcelona. Well, maybe not the whole world, but definitely one segment of it is.

I am referring, of course, to the viej@s choch@s.

I noticed it when I went to the droguería (for some reason, in this country [...]
