An interesting article from the Washington Post: How Weblogs Keep the Media Honest by Howard Kurtz (who has one of the only shows on CNN worth watching). Read it for yourself, but it’s interesting to me that while the web has loudly turned into the world’s strip mall, it has quietly turned into the world’s […]

The Royal Tenenbaums
I can’t believe I didn’t blog about this right after we saw it. Jen and I watched The Royal Tenenbaums a couple weeks ago. If you haven’t seen it yet, drop what you’re doing, rush to your local video store (as long as it’s not Blockbuster) and rent it. Heck, go to your favorite purveyor […]
And Then, The Screaming
So, I kind of lost it today. I’ve been in the process of losing it for over a month. I was in an emergency meeting for four hours today and was a raging ass. I couldn’t stop myself. I had to yell and point and turn red. I got a headache that’s now ten hours […]
More Love For HBO
There’s more to love about The Wire. Last night’s episode was TiVo’ed, and I got around to watching it tonight. The opening scene with McNulty sending his kids off to follow Stringer Bell around using the old “front and follow” method was incredible. It was really funny, and just perfect. It’s such a great show, […]
Ok, It’s Not Bad…
Last night’s episode of Sex and the City completely made up for last week’s snoozer. It was funny, snarky and back to the quality I’ve come to expect from the show. I retract my previous comments about the show. I was worried, but I think the girls will be just fine.
Wow, I DID Get Something Out of Church Today!
Church today was fairly tedious. The youth just got back from an apparently moving trip to Ohio, and the first half of the meeting was some teenagers being called on to come up and give their impressions impromtu-like. It was deadening. My favorite was a teenage guy who got up and said “awesome” about 30 […]
I Didn’t Even Know You Could Pronounce Paella!
So, I made something approacing paella tonight. Jen made this really simple sauce last night with fresh tomatoes, olive oil and onions. It was awesome on pasta, so I figured it might be good with some of the tilapia we had in the freezer. Jen didn’t want pasta again, so we agreed on rice. I […]
We Have A Rebuttal!!
Nicole from Not Content To Crawl has posted a rebuttal to my Goldmember review. Since seeing the movie, I’ve read some reviews, and maybe I was just in a bad mood. I had just made it through a harrowing day of launching my baby (twice as fast as it was last week, and I did […]
I Ain’t So Handy
I’m taking a break from putting up shelves. I am not a handy guy to have around. I’ve successfully stripped two screws that are both at varying degrees of in-ness. They are so stripped that I can’t even muscle them in with a big flathead screwdriver. Now, if this were the bottom screw of the […]
Ok, I Have a Secret
The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem. I have a problem. I’m addicted to Crash Team Racing. I’m so bad, I let my son act as my enabler. He likes watching me race, especially on the CTR Token races because the CTR gets really big and he yells out, “CTR! CTR! […]
