recently consumed culture

Posted Monday, August 09, 2004 5:16 PM by jeffdav
Wicked was a very clever take on The Wizard of Oz and a great vehicle for exploring the nature of evil. The new McSweeney's is something no comic lover should be without. Wonderland seemed to me to be a sentimental waste of time, but some people go in Read More...

Posted Wednesday, June 09, 2004 2:17 PM by jeffdav

Posted Saturday, April 17, 2004 2:15 PM by jeffdav
