tag, we’re it!

I was tagged earlier this week with a meme that’s been making circles through the SF food blog community. The game? List five sordid facts about yourself, then tag five others. My tagger thought this would be a perfect project for a writer-cook, and that fact threw me into a tizzy. I had to cough [...]

Persepolis: A Review

This weekend, I made the journey to the Kendall Square Theater to see Persepolis. Since Kendall is the only theater in Boston showing the movie right now, it was packed, forcing me to the second row, where I slumped as down low in my seat as I could and craned my neck to watch. Luckily, [...]

Yes, I have been eagerly sucked into this romantic pleasure, turning on my TV every Sunday to watch Masterpiece Theater televise Austen’s novels.

When I made the realization, [...]

Hillary v. Obama – What Gives?

Am I the only one who notices/cares that when people refer to Barack Obama, they call him “Obama” but when they refer to Hillary Clinton, they call her “Hillary”? They don’t call Bill Clinton “Bill” or John McCain “John,” so what gives?

Super Tuesday

A reminder to everyone that this is Super Tuesday, the day that 24 states around the country hold primaries or caucuses. With enough participation, today could determine the nomination in one or both parties. A MAJOR reminder to Massachusetts Fringe readers and voters: If you, like me, are NOT enrolled in a major political party, [...]

AWP Live-Blog

Well, we were going to do a real-live live-blog this year, but were sadly unable to, due to the Hilton’s outrageous prices for Internet. The convention hall was not rigged with wireless. Fringe was told that it’d cost $870 PER DAY to get a hard line into the convention hall. Clearly, the Hilton is stuck [...]
