Juice | 4/24/1997 | By Liz Langley
Like all the best good fortune, it just fell out of the sky. Just in case you usually do the same thing I do, see the words "U.S. Military" and flip straight from the front page to the Weird News s...[MORE]

Juice | 8/8/2002 | By Liz Langley

Too close for comfort
Juice | 7/25/2002 | By Liz Langley

School of hard knocks
Juice | 7/11/2002 | By Liz Langley
As I've stated before in this space, I love movies and see as many as I can, but there are some I don't mind missing. School movies fall into that last category. I don't miss sitting in a classroom en...[MORE]
Pumping irony

Stuffing your self-esteem
Juice | 6/27/2002 | By Liz Langley

Profile in dating courage
Juice | 6/20/2002 | By Liz Langley

Speak of the devil
Juice | 6/6/2002 | By Liz Langley
Have you ever been around people who don't know when to quit? You like them, but they never know when to let a thing die. You say, "Have you watched 'The Osbournes'?" and they do their Ozzy impression...[MORE]

Juice | 5/23/2002 | By Liz Langley
"Individuality is fine," Major Frank Burns once said on "M*A*S*H," "so long as we all do it together." And that pretty much sums it up. As much as Americans are herdlike followers of trends in pop ...[MORE]
A hell of a time at the movies
Juice | 5/16/2002 | By Liz Langley
Because I'm the kind of person who will watch anything if it's on a screen, I've been to a lot of film festivals. I've attended animation festivals, gay film festivals and more than my share of bad fi...[MORE]
Size does matter
Juice | 5/9/2002 | By Liz Langley

Class distinctions
Juice | 5/2/2002 | By Liz Langley
My high school reunion is this weekend, and I'm debating whether to attend. It's not that I don't see the value in such an event. After all, I went to Winter Park High School, which was stuffed with r...[MORE]

Juice | 4/18/2002 | By Liz Langley
