Yet Another Highly Officious Online Repository of Personal Preferences. Wednesday, February 01, 2012. The Surrogate * * *. This film is based on the autobiographical writings of journalist, poet and polio victim Mark O'Brien. At age 38, O’Brien decided it was time to lose his virginity, but recognizing that this was going to be a challenge for a man largely unable to move his body and housebound in an iron lung for most of each day, he elected to engage a sexual surrogate. The Impostor * * *. The simples...

Yet Another Highly Officious Online Repository of Personal Preferences. Tuesday, November 09, 2004. O'Grady: Best TV Show You Never Heard Of. On a channel you have never heard of awaits a show no one is talking about. My So Called Life. You now have a sense of the potential entertainment you are missing out on. The channel is The N. The show is the unheralded hidden pleasure called. What is The Weirdness? Now I don't want to misrepresent. S storylines. The Weirdness' doings are NOT the entire point o...

Yet Another Highly Officious Online Repository of Personal Preferences. Monday, February 14, 2011. This year I’ve decided to do something a little different with my Sundance roundup. I’ve listed the films by day, and in the order in which we saw them. I thought this might give non-festivalgoers a sense of what our annual 4-day, 16 film blowout experience is like. Thursday, January 27th. Resurrect Dead * *. I have. Many times. And I’ve always wondered what the heck they were. The Lie * *. When chief Sunda...

Yet Another Highly Officious Online Repository of Personal Preferences. Tuesday, May 20, 2008. Icoa: A Little Foodie Heaven on Grand Cayman. We knew for certain that we had hit the jackpot when the beautiful little artisanal bread board arrived and practically begged us in audible human language to be savored immediately. A brief glance in its direction and we knew we would have to oblige it. Now the strip mall is. Because the appetizers looked so fabulous and because we had been eating and drinking a lo...

Yet Another Highly Officious Online Repository of Personal Preferences. Tuesday, September 06, 2005. The Hunt for a GOOD Sleeper Sofa. If you live in The City, you are familiar with this problem. Our second bedroom serves as office, guest room and occasionally when we have more than five people eating dinner, it becomes the dining room. Function got an immediate veto from K. Where would our friends/family stay? Function created some interesting side effects. Does that mean that you lose the table? It tur...

Yet Another Highly Officious Online Repository of Personal Preferences. Monday, May 03, 2004. New Favorite UWS Neighborhood Restaurant. My new favorite neighborhood restaurant is Bello Sguardo. On Amsterdam just north of 79th Street. They call themselves Mediterranean and they mean that literally. There are Turkish, Morrocan and Italian dishes on the menu. The appetizers are generally Turkish-style mezze and the dishes run the gamut. Read the rest of this post. Posted by Tony @ 5:39 PM.

Yet Another Highly Officious Online Repository of Personal Preferences. Monday, January 26, 2009. Overall, the quality of the films we saw at Sundance 2009 was quite good. While there were fewer lifechanging standouts than past years, there were fewer total stinkers and almost every film we saw was a worthwile investment of 90 minutes. Humpday * * 1/2. World's Greatest Dad * *. The Greatest * *. An Education * *. Paper Heart * * 1/2. Arlen Faber * *. Mary and Max * 1/2. Against the Current *. A heartrend...

Yet Another Highly Officious Online Repository of Personal Preferences. Sunday, July 20, 2008. I'm Big on (and in) Japan. It's fun to be able to say that I am writing this from the Osaka Kansai airport business class traveler's lounge. Being able to say that means that I have now finally been to Japan! I'm a little exhausted now, so I'm going to do a fuller post on Kyoto later. But for now I'll just share some fun images. As you can see from this Buddha against a backdrop of power lines, Kyoto is a city ...
