The Unprofessional Critic: Totally 80's: 'Take Me Home Tonight'
http://unprofessionalcritic.blogspot.com/2011/08/totally-80s-take-me-home-tonight.html
I watch, read and make fun of stuff so you don't have to. Monday, August 29, 2011. Totally 80's: 'Take Me Home Tonight'. Maybe it's because I'm now in my thirties, but in the past couple of years I've really gotten into nostalgia. Last year for a writing project, I started listening to music of the 1960's and '70's and I've never fully recovered. (Because seriously, that stuff is good. I wrote about 90's TV BFF's). According to a Doug Loves Movies podcast with the "Parks and Recreation" cast, the movie d...

ICY HIGHS: Something Corporate
http://renaissancehippy.blogspot.com/2014/04/something-corporate.html
When I first watched Cinema Paradiso. As a ten year old boy, this much was clear: much like the chosen savior of a clan here, a princess there in the many martial arts movies that populated my VHS collection, I would have to save Cinema. Not in terms of making good cinema or acting in one, but in the presentation. Consequently, it was never enough for me to just watch a film. I had to experience the journey. Or shed copious tears at the fate of star-crossed lovers on screen. In Cochin has just short-chan...

ICY HIGHS: Hey there, Delilah.
http://renaissancehippy.blogspot.com/2013/08/hey-there-delilah.html
Hey there, Delilah. We both know, that if last night had happened a few weeks ago, or days even, maybe, I would not be bent over my laptop right now, coaxing words out of keys that don't love me anymore. No, I'd probably still be asleep, to put it charitably- 'unconscious' is how they described it when they found me last time, remember? Remember the rants, the uncontrollable anger? Remember me taking off down the road in the middle of the night that one time, shirtless, barefoot? Entrance music exit pills.

ICY HIGHS: When a little longing goes a long way
http://renaissancehippy.blogspot.com/2013/04/a-little-longing-goes-long-way.html
When a little longing goes a long way. Pulling into Kakori: seriously, who names a town after a kebab? No, of course I'm not bored," I assured her, "just thought you may want to try something new. You're what, 25? Oh I know it's not like there's nothing left to try," she said, "I even have a list. It's not that. I'm just not that interested in theatre or. shopping or. I don't know. freebasing.". Freebasing's overrated anyway,' I told her. I looked at her. 25 April 2013 at 18:08. GuyCode - Food Section 8 ...

ICY HIGHS: The Forbidden Gadget
http://renaissancehippy.blogspot.com/2013/01/the-forbidden-gadget.html
There are few sights more beautiful on a lazy morning than sleeping Girlfriend. S visage. Aah who am I kidding, it's my favourite sight of all time: those few minutes of bliss before Girlfriend wakes up and becomes.well, herself. Girlfriend," I call out, "you ok? Yes," comes her voice, cautious but steady. Did you forget to flush again? I told you that was the cat! I forgot. So what's wrong, baby? What if I was? It's a little. weird. There's an entire stack of your magazines by the pot.". Oh my god.".

ICY HIGHS: Bringing Up Uncle
http://renaissancehippy.blogspot.com/2014/03/bringing-up-uncle.html
I’ve always taken my uncling. My approach to uncling my little niece however, is a little different. Having played. Middle sibling to the estrogen sandwich with extra cheese and evil that was my two sisters all through my blunder years, I was trained early on –despite the lack of formal education- to be terrified of all women under legal drinking age. It doesn’t help that my niece is the spitting image of her mother at the same age. What little niece wants, little niece gets. My niece plays games of a su...

ICY HIGHS: A Revolution That Will Not Be Televised
http://renaissancehippy.blogspot.com/2013/04/a-revolution-that-will-not-be-televised.html
A Revolution That Will Not Be Televised. Every fight club needs its poster boy. So the other day, a few of us had an early reprieve from work and were standing around outside, hungrily breathing in daylight like men fresh out of solitary. There was that familiar summer conviction in the air. I was surprised. I was planning to make the best of our early finish, and get some midweek drinking action going. "What about you guys? I asked, "got plans too? I felt devastated, violated. I insisted the guys buy so...

ICY HIGHS: The Breakfast of Champions
http://renaissancehippy.blogspot.com/2013/02/the-breakfast-of-champions.html
The Breakfast of Champions. The heroin of the 21st century is a tad less rock 'n' roll. No man likes getting caught tip toeing across a girl's living room at seven in the morning. It's an exercise in great inner turmoil- a mandatory walk of shame that must be undertaken before your induction into some sort of one-night-stand. And finally, finally, the operatic symphony of upper floor flush tanks flushing and air conditioners air-conditioning seeping in through the ceiling as you pause (and all. Is Girlfr...
