Celebrity Sex Tapes
There are not a lot of things we, as a society, can learn from Rob Lowe. The Montecito resident can’t teach us how to act or build our dream home without infuriating our neighbors, but he sure has one valuable lesson: If you’re famous, for god’s sake don’t tape yourself having sex.
Barking Up the Wrong Tree
ENDZ OF ODD: Drat! I was hoping we’d at least get a moat out of the deal-one preferably stocked with piranhas, too. But it turns out the illegal fence the News-Press erected in front of its Anacapa Street parking lot will probably be coming down soon.
Ty Versus The Association
J’Amy gets th inside scoop on Montecito’s newest game in town: this week’s Ty Warner vs. Montecito Association Grand Slam match, where both sides have lobbed strong, hostile volleys against each other. Oh, and something about a Christmas tree.
Living Long in the Land of Cha Cha Cha
I recently reported on those yoghurt- (actually, Matsoni-) eating Abkhazians and their “long-living” ways. A little song, some nuts, and, most importantly, a respect for aging-all have powerful effects on living the long life back in old southern Russia.

When it comes to Thanksgiving 2006, to paraphrase the immortal Chick Hearn – the turkey’s in the refrigerator, the door is closed, the light are out, the gravy is cooling, the pie’s getting hard, and the cranberry sauce is jigglin’.

The Mind of a Woman
“Why is thinking something women never do? And why is logic never even tried? Straightening up their hair is all they ever do. Why don’t they straighten up the mess that’s inside?” These much beloved lyrics are from Alan Jay Lerner’s My Fair Lady, which poses the immortal question: “Why can’t a woman be more like a man?” Two weeks ago I penned a column on the male mind, wondering if it ever really changes from its halcyon days of adolescence.
My Mullet
Afew weeks back, haggard with a particularly brutal wave of Oktoberfest aftershocks, I awoke to the sound of Kenny Rogers. Everybody’s favorite gambler was crooning out of my record player, his smoky voice a perfect complement to yet another brilliantly sun-soaked, hungover Santa Barbara morning.
B is for Biology
For this edition of Curioser and Curioser, Martha Sadler sent questions via email to UCSB professor Alice Aldredge, who is the chair of the Depatment of Ecology, Evolution, and Marine Biology and teaches the animal kingdom portion of the university’s introductory biology series.
