Happy Valentine’s Day, Friends!

February 14, 2013

Ring any bells for anyone? Valentine’s day 2013! Yes, time for the chocolate and flowers and cards (Oh, my!). Fellas, (Yeah, I’m talking to you…) let’s face it: Valentine’s Day can be a relationship killer. Mess this up and you are definitely drinking solo on St. Patty’s day next month. It is also a test.

A New Year, A New “Shizz”

January 4, 2013

Happy New Year! They say that Washington isn’t a sports town, it’s a Redskin town. Want proof? The US Congress coming to an 11th hour deal to prevent us from going over the “Fiscal Cliff” is considered the SECOND most important thing that happened in DC in the last few days. REDSKINS 28, Dallas 18. (That’s [...]

The New Year’s Eve Edition

December 28, 2012

So, I guess we’re not going to trust the Mayans anytime soon, right? Sure, everybody is wrong sometimes, but hey, there is “wrong” and there is “LOUD WRONG.” That’s probably why you don’t see too many Mayans get into “weather forecasting” or anything having to do with future prognostication. Next time you pass a Mayan [...]

Our Christmas Wish

December 21, 2012

Friends. In a week where we have witnessed an almost unimaginable tragedy, we will dispense with the normal “schtick” and celebrity misbehavior normally found in this space. All CIRCA restaurants will be closed on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day (Monday, December 24 and Tuesday, December 25th). We will re-open, to regular business hours, on Wednesday, [...]

Now Taking NYE Dinner Reservations!

December 14, 2012

A week and a half away from Christmas. How’s the shopping coming?  I’m not saying it’s time to panic, but, if you are at your laptop right now looking to pay for “express delivery” on “Lords a Leaping,” you may be in trouble. I know the stores are crowded. Let’s face it.  They are full [...]

Our Holiday Cocktails Have Arrived

December 10, 2012

Sure, we’re speeding “Thelma and Louise” style over the “Fiscal Cliff.” North Korean scientists announced that they have proven the existence of unicorns. The Pope now has a Twitter account. Any guesses on which story the “Shizz” writing staff voted to start with this week? (Shocker.) Turns out our girl, Lindsay Lohan, has some problems [...]

The Wizard’s 1st Victory, A French Skirmish, & Bieber’s Newest Accolade

November 30, 2012

Sure, the odds are astronomical. It is really not worth our time or effort. There is absolutely no way it is going to happen. We imagine all the ways it will change our lives. We are always disappointed by the outcome. Then, one day, a miracle. It happens. The Wizards win a basketball game!!! After [...]

Black Friday Edition

November 23, 2012

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. You do know, though, that once the turkey is digested, we are launched, head-long, into the dreaded “holiday season.” In that spirit, we at the “Shizz” give you a gift of random thoughts: One of the best parts about the “holiday season” is all the great movies that [...]

Thanksgiving Day Prep

November 16, 2012

Two very high profile jobs surprisingly became vacant late last week: The head of the CIA and the coach of the Los Angeles Lakers. Other than being high pressure, much sought-after positions, the two jobs don’t really have that much in common. One guy lost his gig for having an affair with his biographer, and [...]

Hey Florida! Stop counting, it’s done… (Turns out we didn’t need you this time…) (Thanks for nothing…) Friends, the wait is finally over. All the millions spent on advertisements. All the waiting in line. It is finally over… The new James Bond movie is out!! “Skyfall,” the 23rd film in the series, is now in [...]
