LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): One morning soon, I predict you will open your inner eyes as well as your outer eyes and discover that you feel freer than you have in ages. Old specters that once pestered you will seem strangely powerless. Worn-out customs will have loosened their hold, and an ancient obligation will finally […]
Recently, I reviewed Zach Gregger’s “Resident Evil” and wrote about how, on paper, a new reboot of a 20-year-old movie franchise based on a 30-year-old video game series shouldn’t be remotely watchable. Yet, the film is fantastic, leading me to preach that all films deserve a fair shake, even the ones that sound like horrible […]
Can happiness really be learned? Nighttime Benders caught up with comedian, comedy producer and self-proclaimed positive psychology nerd Anthony Poponi to find out. We talk about building a happier life, the lessons behind his new memoir, and the show he’s bringing to Oregon Spirit Distillers. By day, Poponi is a keynote speaker helping organizations create […]
You’ve just had an amazing trip traveling abroad, are relishing in the places you’ve seen and experienced, and after a long series of flights home, you find yourself unraveling from the body’s dysregulation following a sudden shift in time zones. It’s not just the fatigue of travel or stress of getting back to work, responsibilities […]
Buying a home is supposed to be one of the most exciting purchases of your life. You tour it, fall in love with the kitchen, imagine your future there and start mentally arranging furniture before making an offer. But sometimes what looks great on a sunny Saturday in July becomes what you complain about every […]
I don’t think I realized how truly divisive a filmmaker Alejandro González Iñárritu was before prepping to write this article. I mean, he’s one of the most decorated Mexican filmmakers in history, with four Academy Awards, three BAFTAs, four Golden Globes and a win for Best Director at Cannes, but it seems like most of […]
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Periodically, you have the cosmic right to receive precisely what you need. Life is duty-bound to deliver a close approximation of full satisfaction. I believe now is one of those times. So please be bold and articulate about naming the specific blessings you require. Write them down, speak them aloud, and […]
Those who have never explored the Fungi Fest & Mushroom Show in Sunriver will have an opportunity to enjoy this fungi extravaganza this year on Saturday, Oct. 17, but with a change of venue from previous years. “The Central Oregon Mushroom Club is thrilled that the festival is happening for our 10th year!” said Linda Gilpin, […]
Dear Dr. Jane, I have been having a lot of issues in my relationship lately. I think it’s because of my upbringing. I was raised in a very conservative church, and even though my husband wasn’t, we both grew up with a lot of shame around intimacy. I know we have a great relationship in […]
I’ve been to every single Bend Film Festival since 2003. That’s not a brag. It’s just a window into how much I’ve watched this thing evolve over the decades, in ways almost exclusively positive. Back then, it was hard not to feel like I was standing (more like sitting and watching) the genesis of something […]
