Someone at NBC loves Snatch. Have you been watching the NBA playoffs on NBC? I have, and every time they cut to a stat graphic (Shaq has X free throw attempts per game per blah, blah, blah) they play a snippet of a different song off the Snatch soundtrack. It’s pretty funny. The first time […]

My ribs are killing me.
My ribs are killing me. I spent all weekend coughing and in a general cold-fueled funk. I’m feeling better today, but the congestion is still here, and coughing hurts like hell. I did see Heist this weekend. If you like David Mamet, you’ll like this movie. It’s slow-paced for a thriller, but as a whodunit, […]
Tardy is Terrific Greg the
Tardy is Terrific Greg the Bunny was hilarious tonight. What a great show that’s getting no promotion at all. It was off for sweeps, and then tonight’s episode got nothing. I didn’t see an ad at all. Tardy had a bunch of lines, and yes, they were all great. The show is pretty much perfect, […]
Three’s Company A post in
Three’s Company A post in three parts… First, the world’s most perfect guacamole recipe: Ingredients 2 ripe avacados a dash of chili powder a pinch of cumin (if you don’t have cumin, curry will work) a splash of salsa 1 small tomato Peel and pit the avacados, dice into small, dice sized bits and put […]
The Weekend Roundup Max was
The Weekend Roundup Max was sick so we spent most of the weekend pummelling popsicles and baby Tylenol Cold into him. He was not a happy camper. Him being sick gave us a chance to watch a bunch of movies, which I’ll go into more detail on below and some surprisingly good NBA basketball. Now […]
I’ve been listening to a
I’ve been listening to a lot of The Police lately. Man in a Suitcase is my new favorite song. The live version from their boxed set is one of the greatest happy depressing songs ever. Before Sting went all new age hippy, they were one of the world’s greatest ska bands. Sting, what happened to […]
The Big Roundup – Part
The Big Roundup – Part One Friday Night Jen and I went to see No Doubt at the Charles E. Smith Center on the GW campus. We took a bus from the Park and Ride in Herndon, and then the Metro to Foggy Bottom. It was a surprisingly easy trip, and we got in and […]
If I ever start a
If I ever start a punk ska band, it’s going to be called Cryptosporidium Toothpaste. I should never blog while ill. I’m not sure what’s wrong, but my head feels like a bowling ball. My eyes don’t want to focus. My stomach hurts and I can’t seem to wake up. I will never ever ever […]
Why Do I Love Thee, Tardy?
The hits just keep on coming for Tardy queries. So, I thought I’d share my favorite things about the dim little turtle from Greg the Bunny. Like Barney on The Simpsons, Tardy gets the throw-away one liners. They’re usually brilliant non-sequiters or add that perfect touch of lunacy to a scene. After four episodes I […]
They cancelled Ally McBeal
They cancelled Ally McBeal, which is just as well. I cancelled it at the beginning of the season. That new girl was kind of cute, but it turned into The Muppet Babies with Mini-Ally running around with Mini-Greg and Old Ally watching them all jealous. It was a good show in its prime, but it […]
