 Simpson's Movie Review, It's D'oh-Liteful! Wednesday, August 01 @ 06:00:00 PDT The Simpson's Movie had been hyped for years, expected for decades-ish and had expectations it couldn't possibly be expected to live up to. This year saw the face-first flop of the Aqua Teen Hunger Force film, which died of its own accord from a combination of factors as plain as the nose on my face, sometimes stolen by my prankster brother. The Simpson's isn't a perfect film and doesn't get a perfect ten rating but, all in all, it was a mighty fine film, so let me tell you why it beat the critics, beat box office expectations, and drove me giddy with glee.

 Ruined Lighthouse Stands as a Beacon for Shipwrecks Thursday, July 19 @ 02:00:00 PDT When traveling through the southern parts of Puerto Rico, you should take Highway-2 out a little bit further to the town of Gúanica, where you'll be delighted by the dullness of the dry forest, the remote disappointment of Fort Caprón and, time permitting, the ruins of the lighthouse on Highway 333, which stands today as a beacon for centuries of ruined ships run regrettably aground.

 Roadside Zoo Offers… Wait, Roadside? Sunday, July 15 @ 03:00:00 PDT As you drive the Puerto Rican countryside, it's not uncommon to see a truck parked off the highway with a huge "Exotic Birds" sign, but the offering is almost zoo-like in variety. They boast chickens, ducks, rabbits, kittens, puppies, pigeons, ponies, land crabs of assorted colors, and even the big draw, exotic birds… but it's on the side of the road, so um, what gives?

 McRestaurant McAlmost McReminds McMe of McHome Saturday, July 14 @ 02:00:00 PDT If you've ever traveled, whether it was across town or across the world, the one thing you wanted more than unlimited outgoing calls from your room was something familiar that reminded you of home. In my case I could think of nothing better or more familiar than passage of those golden arches through which kids come out happy and cows come out hamburger.

 3rd Class Citizens Delight in 1st Class Seating Wednesday, July 11 @ 05:00:00 PDT I've logged a good 20,000 miles in my fairly airfaring life, and I've never had want for more legroom. Sure, my legs are stubby, you may say, but let's not make this personal. Flying in first, however, is really in a class of its own.

 Age Unggeration Aids Airfare Budget by Hundreds Tuesday, July 10 @ 06:00:00 PDT I may be many things, but one I'm not is a liar. Sure, I may fudge when it comes to curiously missing chocolates or point the finger when it comes to my turn in the blame game, but I don't admit to lying, even when I'm lying down. If not telling the truth is lying, then here's hoping we all can make a tidy fistful of Benjamins everytime we do it. Tell you one thing, we sure did this time.

 Airlines All Equally Yucky at Cust. Service Monday, July 09 @ 15:00:00 PDT With all the articles I spread and share the world over, you've got to hold an ounce of doubt about me. I'm young, less-than-seasoned and juvenile in more ways than I'd ever admit short of my own daddy paying it unduly upon me after I've already cleared an article to run. Beyond that, a big thing I've learned is that there are no good airlines left, not even a single one, and that they're all just a bunch of clowny-jerks. That's right, I said it, "Clowny-Jerks!"

 Surviving Long, Foodless Flights Thursday, July 05 @ 11:00:00 PDT Apparently things were different before 9/11, but nowadays, airlines aren't just cheap, but they've reinvented cheapness in ways that really astound. If ever there could be a way to make air travel more inconvenient and uncomfortable, they've figured it out. So here's a couple ways you can make your flight more bearable.

 Michel Thomas Spanish Lessons Effective, Hysterical Wednesday, July 04 @ 13:00:00 PDT I know I'm being a bit juvenile here, but we got four different language courses for our big trip to Puerto Rico, and they're all very different. Some are lousy on a good day, others pretty good (but much too long) and one is really, really great, but it's still comical to me. What can I say, Spanish is a funny language.
