Why does the TV my wife watches suck so badly? She’s off at church at her lady’s thing, and she’s having me record JAG. Oh PLE-E-E-ASE! The dramas on CBS suck. They’re horrible. JAG is the biggest piece of crap of all of them. It’s trite, melodramatic and stupid. The characters are paper thin, and […]

Three Post Night
It was weekly, couple-with-a-toddler weekend movie night. We had one hit, one miss this time. We’ll start with the miss. 15 Minutes: Avoid this piece of crap like the plague. If you have to watch it, watch the first 45 minutes, stop the movie, and finish the movie in your head. It will be a […]
Happy Happy Happy Part 2
Oh yeah… The Underpants Gnome episode of South Park is on Comedy Central RIGHT NOW! It was the first episode I ever watched all the way through. I still don’t watch it all the time, but Saturday night @ 10 is the perfect time to watch, and it’s the best episode ever! Remember: Step 1 […]
Weekend Movie Reviews
This weekend, we saw American Pie (me for the second time, Jen for the first), State and Main, and I finally finished watching my new copy of Akira. Before I get into the reviews: Yes, I know these movies were in theaters months ago. That’s what happens when you have a kid. You watch movies […]
Six Feet Under
So, it’s 9pm on Sunday night, and my favorite show of the summer is starting. I bought a 25 ft. phone cord last night so I can sit on the couch in the sunroom, watch TV and be signed on. Yeah, baby. This is my substitute or wireless networking, my friends. I would love to […]
Random Notes From the Underbelly
Just because I’m a glutton for punishment, I watched Six Feet Under again. Yes, the one that ruined me on Sunday. Why? Jen hadn’t seen it, and I talked it up so much, she had to. So, I sat there and steeled myself against what I knew was coming. I got a little choked up, […]
Ruined Six Feet Under ruined
Ruined Six Feet Under ruined me last night. In the first two minutes, I knew what was going to happen. I wanted to turn the TV off, run upstairs and check on Max, even though I know he’s almost two and that SIDS happens between birth and 18 months. The very thought that something like […]
Attack of the Clones???? Huh?
Attack of the Clones Huh? Ok, so, the name of Star Wars Episode 2 is going to be Star Wars: Attack of the Clones. It’s apparently about the Clone Wars mentioned way back in Star Wars (you know, the one that came out first). Why not just call it Star Wars: The Clone Wars? Other […]
I can’t believe I never
I can’t believe I never told you about Henryk Gorecki. His Symphony Number 3 is devastatingly haunting and beautiful. Once you hear it, you’ll probably remember hearing it before. It’s one of those pieces of music they use in movies (like Fearless and Wit) in the epiphany scene, when it all becomes clear. My friend […]
I had the weirdest dream
I had the weirdest dream last night. It was a “this could have been your life” thing. What if I hadn’t been married when I moved to Virginia? What would things be like? It was odd, and in the end, I ended up married to Jen, and Max was there too, which is nice, but […]
