I went to see the French Masterworks (from the State Pushkin Museum, Moscow) and the Modigliani exhibit at LACMA (Los Angeles County Museum of Art) yesterday. Modigliani mostly painted portraits of his peers, servants and lovers. One such peer was...[More]
We supposedly know the general area where Osama currently resides--last I heard. Colin Powell on "Charlie Rose" last week stated "Sadam is gone." He said this in a final way that lead me to believe Saddam was dead. Have I...[More]
Usually, I believe (for the most part) that people can do whatever they want as long as they aren’t hurting others. A trip to Barnes and Noble today changed my mind. The tables are always packed there, that’s a given....[More]
My original e-mail to copycat from Dec.9,2002 (a couple of weeks after I found out I was copied) Dear Blank, I take it you liked my, "A Day in the Life of a Script Reader",journal. Perhaps we should come up...[More]
I know some of you (?) are wondering when my next column will run. (I still haven't officially taken this public, so not many outside of JS, besides LAOberved have links to me.) Well, I have been sick and haven't...[More]
It appears my stomach has turned into one of those “bad” stomachs that you hear old people/alcoholics complain about. I’ve become one of those annoyingly picky eaters (before I was an adventurous eater). I even tried Monkfish liver a couple...[More]
*I haven't been feeling well--that's why I haven't written. I feel a bit better today. Hopefully this is somewhat coherent. My brain is not back to speed. I caught a glimpse of the Oprah show the other day with Arnold...[More]
My sweet mother usually saves me The Calendar Weekend section of Thursday’s Los Angeles Times. I would put a link to it, but now you have to pay to read it (in itself a controversy). Do I flip through my...[More]

The only good thing about “Sex and the City” ending is that I don’t have to see Sarah Jessica Parker wear anymore strapless or strappy dresses WITH a bra. That’s right, with a bra. The last few episodes, her bra...[More]
I am taking a break for a few days. Will most likely return Monday. Take care. EDIT: I am still sort of on my *break* but felt like writing tonight. COPYCATS: I don't know why I still get irritated when...[More]
For some reason, I've always loved sugar cookies with rainbow sprinkles. I had one in the shape of a dolphin today. I don't remember having any as a child. Perhaps I am repressing a childhood memory related to them. In...[More]
I was walking with Lisa up a residential street when we happened upon a picnic. The picnic consisted of a small towel on the narrow strip of grass between the sidewalk and the street. A man and a woman were...[More]
From the New York Times today: "A large body of research on well-being seems to suggest that wealth above middle-class comfort makes little difference to our happiness, for example, or that having children does nothing to improve well-being -- even...[More]
I’m tired of politics, so I’ll talk about food. I am craving almond M&M’s right now. They really are the perfect texture. I guess they seem classier than peanut M&M’s and more exciting than the regular ones. I also like...[More]
SHOPPING: YUCKY FOR MEN Simon Dumenco delves into the new cultural phenomenon of male shopping in the media, which is threatening to take metrosexualism to the 'burbs. Tiffany speaks: Women and gay men are not trying to turn straight men...[More]
A campaign called Save The Eggs has become necessary. The latest egg wasting incident happened today. One or more eggs were murdered on Arnold Schwarzeneggers' jacket. Arnold lovingly joked, "Where's the bacon?" Yes, he had the right idea. Maybe people...[More]
I was playing tennis yesterday with an older friend who lives in Malibu. We came to the net. “Hey Tiff, I’ve been meaning to ask you: have you heard of The Red Hot Chili Peppers?" That’s like asking a teenager...[More]
