I predict there will be three winners when the short documentary film Watch Me Play is released on April 19. Brian Christopher, the star of the film will be the first one. The second will be Steven Pomerantz, the writer and director. Steven graciously - and I’m imagining with some trepidation - agreed to being interviewed … Continue reading Everyone Loves a Winner

Christmas in April!
My vacation is almost over. I spent it running errands and dealing with the grumpiness of The Remote Control Terrorist. In his never-ending plot to irritate me to the point of planting an axe in his forehead while he’s sleeping, the man upped his game. He decided to schedule having all his teeth pulled … Continue reading Christmas in April!
Invasion of the Hair Follicle Snatchers
Do you like conspiracy theories? Well, I have one for you. I turned 60 in 2015. At that exact moment, my hair was invaded by aliens. These microscopic interstellar motherfuckers now inhabit the hair on the left side of my head parallel to my ear. “Oh, Kat,” you might say. “Have you been smoking crack?” … Continue reading Invasion of the Hair Follicle Snatchers
Call Me a Romantic
I watch two hours of cable news every morning to get a jump-start on being irritated for the rest of the day. Even more annoying than the know-it-all and smug pundits, are the commercials shown that early. Acne medicine endorsed by has-been celebrities, an instrument used to clip the claws of a dog injected … Continue reading Call Me a Romantic
If You Can’t Spell Renaissance You Can’t Go to the Faire
The New Year seemed like a good time to scratch another item off my bucket list. I do everything ass-backwards, so when an opportunity presents itself, I add it to my very weird list. That’s how I ended up zip lining on Fremont Street in Vegas. The zip line was there and so was I, … Continue reading If You Can’t Spell Renaissance You Can’t Go to the Faire
APROPOS
As I discussed in a recent entry, watching slot machine videos has become therapy for me. I don’t need to watch cat videos (although they are therapeutic) because I have cats. My cat alarm clock bites me on the elbow every morning at least two hours before my actual alarm goes off so cat therapy … Continue reading APROPOS
BLACK FRIDAY MUST DIE
For the first time in 12 years I’m not working Black Friday. This is not because my Corporate Overlords gave me the day off. It’s because they filed bankruptcy and I lost my job. I wrote this piece years ago and nothing has changed except I’m not there to share in all the fun. There … Continue reading BLACK FRIDAY MUST DIE
It’s #RUDE! if Brian Christopher Doesn’t Get 50,000 Subscribers NOW!
Last night the Remote Control Terrorist’s cat The Evil Dr. Sprinkles stretched out between my knees and ankle for only the Great and Powerful Oz knows how long. The result was a scream-worthy Charley horse in one of my calves. I blame Brian Christopher. Before explaining who this miscreant is, there’s something you need to … Continue reading It’s #RUDE! if Brian Christopher Doesn’t Get 50,000 Subscribers NOW!
Kevin Smith, I Know You Were Writing About Me
In Clerks, Dante reminded me of well…me. What kind of intelligent, fairly nice human being drops out of college to be near someone of the opposite sex, works at a low-paying, thankless job for way too long and whines about their existence incessantly? Me. Brian O'Halloran played that roll to perfection so it was a … Continue reading Kevin Smith, I Know You Were Writing About Me
The True Meaning of Love is Attention to Detail
Here’s what I learned about Alamo City Comic Con. The fans who wear costumes are dead serious about it. I was pretty flattered that a few of them said they liked my Because Daryl Said So t-shirt. I devoured comic books long before any of the people I met were even born, but I’m not … Continue reading The True Meaning of Love is Attention to Detail
