The New Disney-Pixar film “Wall E” is a cute story, enjoyable for both children and adults, which is pretty impressive, since there’s basically no real dialogue for the first hour. A love story between a pair of robots, trying to save themselves, the Earth, and the Human Race itself, all in beautiful CGI, whose [...]
So I took the time and braved the crowds this holiday weekend and went and saw “Wanted” this weekend. While the theater was filled with “too cool and tough for this shit” teenagers dumb enough not to shut off their cell phones, it was thankfully bereft of small children, for whom the movie is [...]
Alright, its been a full week since Festival, and I think that I’m finally recovered enough to write about it. This year’s Festival involved: The introduction of a new Red Shirt into our tribe; The subsequent promotion of Med from Standing Red shirt to, “Torquemada of the Red”; Multiple Midget games (including horseshoes, badminton, and [...]
You can feel it in the air. Already you see people making travel plans, boarding up their houses, the mass evacuations of neighborhoods, children being shipped off to faraway places, and the police gearing up for a rash of complaints. It can only mean one thing. The Festival is nearly upon us, and by that, [...]
Just a few thoughts that popped into my head throughout the day.
Just because you drop some Swedish Fish into a puddle of rain water, doesn’t mean they’ll swim away, no matter how pretty it looks.
This Traffic Jam would be seriously annoying, if it wasn’t for all the gasoline fumes in my car. Instead its just [...]
Watching recent events unfold in “How I Met Your Mother” has got me thinking (besides confirming that Neil Patrick Harris is one of the best actors of our time) about friendship. The world of non-romantic relationships takes on many forms and labels. There are acquaintances, workmates, colleagues, roommates, wingmen, Bro’s, buds, mates, close [...]
The other day I was over Med’s house, trying out a growler(jug o’ beer) of “Racer X” (which is actually quite good, three tastes in one mouthful). Seeing as it was a lot of beer, I soon had to adjourn to the bathroom. As I relieved myself, my eyes wandered over the ever present [...]
Now, I’m not Jewish (well I’m Ungodly Heathen of course, but I didn’t originate as Jewish either), but I do attend Seder activities every year at a friends house, a tradition that has become a treasured holiday for me (and not just for the inevitable nekid hot tubbing that usually follows). For the past few years, I’ve found [...]
I consider myself a moderate gamer, not having enough free time or money to play all the games and excel at any of them, but have some skills and enough experience to generally know what I’m doing. Thanks to Med, I occasionally will venture online and play multi-player games on the PC or X [...]
Every once in a while you have to reexamine your views on religion, and their leaders, in order to find renewed faith in your own. I’ve always maintained that there was good to be found in all aspects, if you know how to pick and choose, like a buffet (to paraphrase “Big Trouble in [...]
