For whoever searched for Snatch theme song, the name of the song is Diamond, and it was performed by Klint Harvey and Seba. It’s spiffy, to say the least, and is the second track on the soundtrack. I love referer logs…

And The Emmy Goes To…
The coolest thing about the Emmy nomination list for this year is that the nominations aren’t dominated by crap actors who people think are “due”, and there is a good collection of non-network shows and actors nominated. The fact that most of the cast of Six Feet Under was nominated, plus Michael Chiklis (who’s show […]
Robin, What Happened?
Thanks to TiVo, these observations are all about a week old: Because I couldn’t sleep last night, I started watching the Robin Williams special that ran on HBO Sunday. Is it just me, or has Robin completely lost it? Other than the AOL Time Warner stock joke at the beginning, he just wasn’t funny. Maybe […]
Bagpipe + Tribal = ??
So, let’s say there was this bus crash. Two buses, one carrying Ladysmith Black Mambazzo and another carrying The Chieftains collide, spewing band members, instruments and voice all over the landscape. That’s pretty much what Afro Celt Sound System sounds like. I was a little wary at first, but my friend assured me I’d like […]
We’re making marshmallows tonight! I
We’re making marshmallows tonight! I am so excited. The recipe looks really simple and if we get brave we may try making chocolate ones as well. Then tomorrow, it’s over to my parents’ house for the big barbecue and s’mores for dessert. In other insane the-end-must-be-near news, Jen and I beat her parents at pinochle!! […]
If you have DirecTV, definitely
If you have DirecTV, definitely check out Sessions at West 54th tonight (ch. 315 @ 5 and 8 EST)! It’s the one with Imani Coppola and John Hiatt. Imani does an amazing 30 minute set that will absolutely blow you away.
Jen and I watched Married
Jen and I watched Married in America on A&E yesterday. If you haven’t heard of it, it’s a documentary by Michael Apted of 9 couples about to get married. It followed them through the final days of preparation, up to the wedding, and in a couple cases, a few days after the wedding. Now, that […]
Things I Learned In The Hall On The Way To The Bathroom
Things I learned in the hall on the way to the bathroom: Marshmallows originally came from the root of a plant called, oddly enough, the marsh mallow. Instead of using marsh mallow to make them now, our modern marshmallows are made with gelatin. It is very easy to make homemade marshmallows. I will, of course, […]
My post about the whole
My post about the whole CIA thing yesterday was a little disjointed, mostly because I was upset about work, and just couldn’t handle any more bad news. I need to go back and read 1984, but doesn’t this all strike you as being vaguely familiar? Jen and I went and saw Sum of All Fears […]
He Shoots, He Scores!! I
He Shoots, He Scores!! I took my little brother (ok, he’s not that little anymore, but I’m still bigger and older) to the Thrift Store so he could look for a new monitor (in my day, there were no computer parts in thrift stores, just crap). While he was testing, I wandered the store looking […]
