Kanyegate!

By A Tiny Machine

MORE »

by Beth Hammarlund, a tiny machine | 9/18/09 • Okay, okay. Everyone knows that Kanye West was completely rude and obnoxious when he interrupted Taylor Swift's VMA acceptance speech to talk about how Beyoncé had the best video of the decade of whatever. But holy heavens people, it's not like he stabbed her. Seeing words like "violent" and "assault" used to describe the incident makes me sick to my (granted) easily upset stomach.

Gaga for Rilke

by Beth Hammarlund, A Tiny Machine | 8/12/09
Another reason to love Lady Gaga. She got a freaking Rilke tattoo! In the original beautiful German! I have long considered getting a tattoo of a few sentences on my forearm, and my top two choices have always been a Vonnegut quote that I’m particularly fond of, or anything by Rainer Maria Rilke.MORE »

THEATER | Barbara Berlovitz's "Stories as Told in a Bed": An intimate and sublimely humorous journey

By Dwight Hobbes, TC Daily Planet

It is tricky business reviewing a work in progress, putting the writer in a barely tenable position. How can you be fair to the playwright, casting comment on a script that's still in development? Critique the weaknesses and you're a villain for kicking the play's legs out from under it before it's had a chance to actually stand on them. Praise the strengths and you're a cheerleader clapping the author on the back before the job's finished being done.MORE »
