Your Weekly Reader: The Downward Spiral
http://johnbliss.blogspot.com/2005/11/downward-spiral.html
Wednesday, November 16, 2005. When I woke up Tuesday morning, little did I know I would end the day one tooth lighter. This story begins a couple of months ago. Actually, it begins in 1989. Then he told me a version of that old joke: "Your teeth are fine, but your gums have to come out.". It didn't get worse, but it didn't get better. It was very sensitive to cold. And increasingly sensitive to heat. I couldn't chew on that side, because pressure hurt. But I had not yet passed out on the ...As should be ...

Your Weekly Reader: Boo!
http://johnbliss.blogspot.com/2005/10/boo.html
Friday, October 28, 2005. Monday is Halloween. This doesn’t mean as much to me as it did when I was a child. Back then, there were only three TV networks, plus a handful of local VHF and UHF outlets. But you could count on scary movies all through October. Now he have 500 cable channels and what have you got? On SciFi. Even AMC's Monsterfest is reduced to a week this year. I won’t be watching Jeepers Creepers. Which is not to say that Jay, Grant and the gang don't occasionally uncover some truly spooky p...

Your Weekly Reader: April 2004
http://johnbliss.blogspot.com/2004_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 16, 2004. Opinion seems split over whether Bush gave an effective presentation or not. The bar for this president has dropped so low that if he doesn’t make a complete fool out of himself it is considered a triumph. There was only one time last night that he seemed a complete fool, so I suppose that’s a victory. Asked into the press pool? Ever allowed in the building again? Not quick on his feet? Most of the Q&A, though, was scripted. Several questions were designed specifically to allo...

Your Weekly Reader: August 2003

Friday, August 22, 2003. I've made no secret of my deep-seated love for. Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. The gay-based makeover show on Bravo. The question which naturally follows is how do I feel about Bravo's other gay oriented show of the summer,. Until recently, I felt nothing. For those of you who have missed the show, the seemingly endless promos and the press surrounding it, is TV's first gay dating show. Following in the shoes of such shows as. And, more to the point,. Or any of the non-dating re...

Your Weekly Reader: May 2004
http://johnbliss.blogspot.com/2004_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 28, 2004. I hope you have/had a good Memorial Day weekend. Traditionally, I would be heading out to Indiana today to spend the weekend at the lake, but events of the past year have put the kibosh on that plan of action. Hi girls! So now I'm not sure what's up. I also plan to see. The Day After Tomorrow. Maybe on Saturday. This was more amusing Thursday, when I could say I was seeing. The Day After Tomorrow. Posted by John Bliss at 6:15 PM. Thursday, May 20, 2004. The closing credits say that.

Friday, August 20, 2004. Great Balls of Polypropylene! It's a wide, wild world out there, and I'm constantly surprised by how little I know about it. We live in the information age, and information collects, so the desire to keep up with it all is a constant, losing struggle. Something always falls through the cracks. I can't stop saying Neuticles. Granted, this common sense flies in the face of what most experts say, but what do experts know? Whatever you or I may think, Gregg Miller, the inventor of Ne...

Your Weekly Reader: The More Things Change
http://johnbliss.blogspot.com/2005/11/more-things-change.html
Wednesday, November 23, 2005. The More Things Change. In preparing this holiday article, I took a look back into the files. Here's some of what I found:. Wild About Harry, part II. I've seen it. In fact, I was one of the millions who saw it on Saturday, rocketing it to the highest one-day gross in history. Now off to school! I didn't send a Thanksgiving Reader in 2003 (nor, in fact, from September 2003 until March 2004! As I write these words, I'm wearing the last of my Crest Whitestrips (TM). This D...

Your Weekly Reader: The Scene I Hate
http://johnbliss.blogspot.com/2009/12/scene-i-hate.html
Saturday, December 19, 2009. The Scene I Hate. I saw Up in the Air. Last night, and by and large I really liked it. It's a movie about grownups, made for grownups. It’s smart and funny, and it reminds you of what a good actor George Clooney can be when he's not trying so hard. But late in the movie comes The Scene I Hate. If you haven't seen the movie, you should stop now, because ahead thar be spoilers. If you have seen the movie, or don't plan to, or don't mind being spoiled, read on. A digest of news,...

Monday, September 22, 2003. With mottled flesh and a balloon animal tied to his umbilical stump. I was somewhat less fascinated by those pix, but still had to look through them several times. The notion of my ogling baby photos is only a surprise if, say, you know me. My take on children has always been somewhat Fieldsian. Do you like children? I may be seeking to leech, vampire like, off the fresh blood and endless energy of the young. In any case, I'll be the middle aged guy you see looking through the...
