Editor's Note: Since the dawn of Buntology, Jackie has been regaling us with her medical tails of woe (and triumph). Most recently, she let us in on her whacky visit to the optometrist. Now she's back, only this time it's with a vengeance. No longer will patients suffer at the hands of over-scheduled appointment books! No longer will we be forced to sit in a waiting room reading old issues of Cosmo secretly hoping nobody can see that we're turned to the "Sex Tips" article, which is pretty … [Read more...]
Bunt Family Stream-of-Conscious Oscar 2013 Recap
February 26, 2013 By 3 Comments
The 85th Academy Awards debuted on ABC last Sunday. Angela watched from her apartment in Queens, and Rochelle & Rod (her adoring parents) watched from their bedroom in Western Mass. The result? A mish-mash of jokes and insults that you may or may not find amusing. But you're already a paragraph into the article so you may as well just keep reading. --- ANGE: I listened to the red carpet pre-show while pulling the gizzards out of my chicken and prepping it for the oven. No, seriously. How … [Read more...]
Jackie takes a visit to the optometrist
January 16, 2013 By 6 Comments
I have not been to an eye doctor in years. --- Once I moved to the eastern side of the state, I never got around to getting myself a new eye doctor. I've had the same pair of cruddy glasses since highschool, and only use them for watching TV (when I'm not too lazy to get up and grab them) or when I go out to the movies. --- I have been yelled at dozens of times by my family to get contacts, or to "go put on your glasses!" "stop squinting!" " you're going to kill a pedestrian!" etc. etc. Have … [Read more...]
The Ladies Bunt review Les Misérables (Hint: It was freakin’ awesome)
January 8, 2013 By 15 Comments
Les Misérables has been a defining musical in the Bunt house since it was introduced to Angela & Jackie in 1998. While they've never seen it performed on Broadway, for the last 15 years they've essentially been performing it for anybody that would listen. Which was nobody. When news broke that the musical was being adapted into a film, they began counting down the days until this Christmas miracle would hit theaters. Read on to find out exactly what Angela, Jackie and Mama Bunt (Rochelle) … [Read more...]
Buntington Manor’s Notable Holiday Song List
December 24, 2012 By 5 Comments
[Author’s note: Granted, there is an endless well of seasonal tunes, and this compilation is admittedly incomplete. I confess that it was written while I was sick and under the influence of a combination of over-the-counter cold medications. I laughed, I cried, I wrote. I hallucinated. James Stewart and I sat under my Christmas tree and rang jingle bells while yelling, “Get me. I’m givin’ out wings!” So this is the result.] --- Everyone has their favorite holiday songs. You are … [Read more...]
What Jesus Christ, Bill Murray and 9/11 have in common
December 17, 2012 By 19 Comments
Christmas is a fraud. Let me be clear about my feelings concerning this cash-grab of a holiday right now. From my understanding of the olden days, the Christian church needed to offset Pagan rituals that occurred at this time of year and came up with a date that featured a lovely, squeaky-clean hero baby that didn't drink, smoke or spit on public sidewalks. --- Over the years, national and local retailers have been screaming like banshees about the need to buy early and often, and Black Friday … [Read more...]

Did it pass the test? R & R get their money’s worth from Netflix.
January 9, 2012 By 6 Comments
Husband and wife, mother and father, and now Buntology film critics? Check out the first installment of Rod and Rochelle's latest feature, in which they watch and review obscure Netflix movies so you don't have to. Rochelle: Rod and I have very different tastes in movies. He’s more the action, kill, lots of noise and aliens type, and I like suspense, mystery and romance. My favorite movie is Bridges of Madison County (a moment of silence please...) while his is Live Free or Die Hard. … [Read more...]
