The television season is now several weeks old, but I hadn’t caught up with enough new shows to make recommendations. Now, I have, and we have some winners!!! They are: Rome – It’s different, and aside from the sex, it’s not your typical HBO Sunday night. It’s political, familial, and conniving. Like other HBO shows, […]

I just can’t stop
From an article in the Toronto Star, Joss Whedon about Veronica Mars:\ “I was on fire. We had just watched the last five episodes in one day and I was just freaking out,” he says, wild-eyed. “I understand Buffy fans better watching that show and so does my wife. There’s so much pain and there’s […]
The Perfect Milkshake
Jen decided that we needed pizza and milkshakes for dinner tonight. Since I’d recently scored a sweet blender from Woot! and we had lots of ice cream in the house… we were all set. They turned out so well, I thought I’d share the process (since milkshakes are kind of hard to get “right” at […]
The Music Max
This started out as a response to Katie’s comment from Kevin’s most recent post, but I decided to make this a post on its own.\ I have a friend who only listens to kids music in the car, but I refuse to do that. The car is my domain. I listen to what I want […]
A Tip For Cheering Up
Need another pick-me-up? Go listen to some old They Might Be Giants, or watch their documentary: Gigantic (A Tale Of Two Giants). It shows up on IFC every month or so. It’s funny, and will make you smile.\ You can’t listen to any song on Flood, Don’t Let’s Start or Subliminal and not smile. It’s […]
Need A Happy?
I sure do. If you’re in need of a pick-me-up, go grab the latest episode of Coverville. It’ll cure what ails you. It’s an all a cappella set of covers and is wiping the grimace off my mug.\ Enjoy.
Joss Whedon is Veronica fan too!
I have gone on and on about Veronica Mars all summer, trying to get more people to watch it. Well, I am in some fabulous company because Joss Whedon loves it too. Here is an excerpt, in which he calls it the Best. Show. Ever:\ bq. Joss Luvs Veronica.\ bq. I just finished a crazed […]
The Aristocrats
After reading Salon’s review, I have to go see it. I’m all about jokes you shouldn’t tell, and smart ways to gross people out.\ When I lived in Tucson, my friend Jim and I used to play this game where we one-upped each other until one of us gave and did the “here’s the line, […]
This One’s For Heather: Podcasts and Mashups
This one’s for Heather. Max and I went to dinner with my mom, brother and sister last night and we ended up talking about mashups and podcasts. Heather wanted me to send her some links, but I’d hate to go through all that effort only to repeat it when someone else asks me. So, this […]
I’m a pimp
I finished the latest Harry Potter book and am sad to say that I was disappointed. I have no qualms about any of the plot points, so this isn’t bitterness talking. It just seems that the book is 3/4 filler of back story without any action or moving the story forward. Kev said that it […]
