Laughing at the Pieces: That's Not My Church, Either
http://robstaeger.blogspot.com/2014/11/thats-not-my-church-either.html
Laughing at the Pieces. Back in the ring to take another swing. Sunday, November 23, 2014. That's Not My Church, Either. I’ve had a few friends say that watching Cosmos. My church moments are usually live theater – or live music. In theater, it’s often when some connection is made that I haven’t seen before. The end of Steve Martin’s Picasso at the Lapin Agile,. The first time I saw it… that was a church moment for me. Pig Iron Theater Company’s Dig or Fly. Is an unusually engaging science program. I...

Laughing at the Pieces: Na Na Na Na
http://robstaeger.blogspot.com/2014/09/na-na-na-na.html
Laughing at the Pieces. Back in the ring to take another swing. Tuesday, September 02, 2014. Na Na Na Na. Dreamed I was Robin last night – the original, Dick Grayson. The short pants, everything. Batman—sort of a cross between the modern comics Batman and Adam West—and I were pretending to work with some warlord in order to get to the real threat—a crime kingpin? I don’t know. 8220;You should call him,” I said. Batman agreed. 8221; he asked the warlord, pointing to a finely shaded underboob. Movies, and ...

Laughing at the Pieces: Do Androids Dream of Electric Cars?
http://robstaeger.blogspot.com/2014/02/do-androids-dream-of-electric-cars.html
Laughing at the Pieces. Back in the ring to take another swing. Friday, February 28, 2014. Do Androids Dream of Electric Cars? So there's a Cadillac commercial that was in heavy rotation during the Olympics. It stars Neal McDonough, who's played a shady creep in pretty much everything I've ever seen him in ( Desperate Housewives. Spring to mind; he's always a great choice for a villain), selling Caddy's new electric model. Here it is, if you want to watch. About the thing, calling it a "nightmare.".

Laughing at the Pieces. Back in the ring to take another swing. Wednesday, March 18, 2015. He just smiled, in something of the same space. “Glory be to us, brother” he said, holding out a fist. I bumped it. “Glory be to us.”. Can’t get more welcome than that. Labels: Alvin Youngblood Hart. Posted by Rob S. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). There was an error in this gadget.

Laughing at the Pieces: Trilobite Therapy
http://robstaeger.blogspot.com/2015/05/trilobite-therapy.html
Laughing at the Pieces. Back in the ring to take another swing. Saturday, May 02, 2015. Had what may be the most frightening nightmare of my adulthood last night – certainly of the monster/horror variety, rather than the personal tragedy type of dream. I blame Coraline. Neil Gaiman and Henry Selick’s brilliantly concocted nightmare fuel. Not that my dream followed the movie exactly… no one was going to sew buttons on my eyes. But man, the bugs. Posted by Rob S.

Laughing at the Pieces: Once More Unto the Breach
http://robstaeger.blogspot.com/2015/03/once-more-unto-breach.html
Laughing at the Pieces. Back in the ring to take another swing. Thursday, March 19, 2015. Once More Unto the Breach. So I’ve rejoined my cult. I walked into Weight Watchers four pounds heavier than the last time I walked into Weight Watchers to start the plan. This’ll be my third time doing it; besides my attempt five years ago, I did it once in the 90s when I was still living in Pennsylvania, when the weight sloughed off easily, as I was, what, 24?

Laughing at the Pieces: 03/01/2015 - 04/01/2015
http://robstaeger.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Laughing at the Pieces. Back in the ring to take another swing. Saturday, March 21, 2015. I had a pretty good week, cult-wise. I stayed on plan, despite all the goodies that show up to eat where I'm freelancing (this week, a major cooking magazine, super-tempting), and made some smart choices in their cafeteria for lunch - smart enough that I even had a few beers this week, as I passed some time, for one reason or another, at bars near train stations. Posted by Rob S. Links to this post. I walked into We...

Laughing at the Pieces: First Setback
http://robstaeger.blogspot.com/2015/05/first-setback.html
Laughing at the Pieces. Back in the ring to take another swing. Saturday, May 09, 2015. I've been going to Weight Watchers for a few months now, steadily if unspectacularly losing weight. It changed today, with a gain of 1.2 pounds, bringing my total loss back down to 8.6 pounds from 9.8. On the other hand, I rode 40 miles in the 5-Boro Tour this week, and actually enjoyed it. So that ain't nothin'. Posted by Rob S. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). There was an error in this gadget. Comics on the Brain.

Laughing at the Pieces: An Elephant Never Forgets to Post
http://robstaeger.blogspot.com/2015/04/an-elephant-never-forgets-to-post.html
Laughing at the Pieces. Back in the ring to take another swing. Thursday, April 02, 2015. An Elephant Never Forgets to Post. To keep myself honest, I ought not to skip a week of reporting from my cult. Last week at my weigh-in, I dropped another 1.8 pounds… a pretty good figure, I think. That’s 5.2 pounds altogether, which is the same weight as this majestic elephant statuette holding a wishing bell. Or, you know, a sack of potatoes, but you’ve seen that before. Posted by Rob S.

Laughing at the Pieces: Oasis
http://robstaeger.blogspot.com/2008/11/oasis.html
Laughing at the Pieces. Back in the ring to take another swing. Sunday, November 02, 2008. Yesterday I had the chance to take some time off from thinking about my job, politics and all the other things that have been dominating this blog of late, and go downtown to enjoy my friend Nicole Maynard's show at the Bowery Gallery, Images of Optimism. Her paintings here are mostly nature scenes, from backyard landscapes to close-ups of butterflies, and upon viewing them, one can't help feel a soothing calm.
