Beeker’s Words

I have used Craigslist to sell items. We sold our exercise bike when we moved from Austin to New Jersey. I had a friend who bought a brand new washer/dryer set from people who had bought a new house and decided to buy upgraded appliances. She got the set for $100 if she picked it [...]

I was stumbling tonight and found the site of Nicholas Gurewitch. The strip above is titled “Instant Bacon”. It reminded me of our friend Scott. Scott can eat a pound of bacon in a setting. If you need a giggle, laugh, or snark, then Gurewitch’s work will get you going. These strips are demented and [...]

Sometimes I get these odd flashbacks to the 80’s and I think of things I learned, saw or fell in love with. I was 12 when I first saw the film The Labyrinth with David Bowie and Jennifer Connelly. I wasn’t sure what to think. I just knew that I loved it. I thought that [...]

Whenever I read a blog, I always look at their list of blogs they like. This is how I found Life of a Valley Girl.  If your idea of arts and crafts is taking naughty pictures of yourself to send to a married Senator that you have slept with and on occasion have phone sex, [...]

I was listening to Franz Ferdinand’s song “Do You Want To” and it reminded me how much I loved the anime Paradise Kiss. The writer, Ai Yazawa, originally published the manga in the magazine Zipper. It was then adapted into a 12 series anime. There is fashion, love, transgenderism, and suspense. It does not get [...]
