I have had a blog in some form since 2003, so just for fun, you could jump to a random post.

Search my posts all the way back to April 2003

The search is a little quirky, so being creative helps.
For example, a search for slumber party night will find ANY ONE of the words, while "slumber party night" (in quotes) will only find the exact phrase and I don't always use the complete phrase and sometimes I abbreviate it to SPN.
Therefore, a search for slumber spn with no quotes should find every post that mentions our little ritual.

  • the day my relationship with Terra changed

    It’s fun and even useful to have a personal site that archives all my social media updates – Twitter, Flickr, Facebook and such – and then is searchable so I can go back and see things in the past.

    Yesterday, I came across something interesting.

    See, Terra and I were friends for a long time before we became . . . → Read More: the day my relationship with Terra changed

  • Oaty Veggie Meatloaf – a recipe to perfect

    So, I start with 2 or 3 pounds of whatever ground meat…
    Then I add lots of oats and finely diced (we’re talking relish) onions and peppers until it looks right – But it’s ALOT – maybe a fourth of the total mixture and I always wish I’d added more. I don’t ever measure so I’m . . . → Read More: Oaty Veggie Meatloaf – a recipe to perfect

  • A quick rant on why I am so against a Blade Runner franchise

    This is a comment I posted on Facebook that I’ll lazily paste here, rather than write an expansion.
    I began by posting this to Twitter: “Building a franchise around Blade Runner is like building an amusement park around The Smithsonian.”

    And then, here is what I followed up with on Facebook…

    It’s what I’ve seen happen to Alien.

Movies I watched – April 2009

    Didn’t get a lot of movie time this past month, but, here’s some thoughts on what we did get to see, in reverse chronological order.
    
    
Battlestar Galactica
    I just wanted to make a few comments on this before I get into the actual movies. Terra and I have watched the pilot mini-series and the first four episodes . . . → Read More: Movies I watched – April 2009

march movies

i have had this urge lately to blog the movies i watch and do it once a month – not to give detailed reviews or anything, just to log them… since i had this idea late, i’ll start with the movies i watched in march in reverse chronological order…

Magnolia
this may very well be my favorite . . . → Read More: march movies

Follow the music… August Rush

i just watched it for the first time and wanted to get some thoughts down while the emotional impression is still fresh… i have not read a word about this film, nor did i even know what it was about…

(btw, i’m typing this up on my phone, which has no cut/paste… not the . . . → Read More: Follow the music… August Rush

a few thoughts on Being There

this is one of many movies that, as a self-professed film snob, it is pretty much unforgivable that i have never seen it…

peter sellers was absolutely amazing – he played the role perfectly every moment, too much would have made us feel he was something less than a person, too little and he would have come . . . → Read More: a few thoughts on Being There

i’m dying to see this movie! so i have no idea what it’s about…

it’s not as odd as it sounds…
there are a few movie directors i really trust… and a handful of people whose taste in movies i trust…

so, let’s say my friend jennifer tells me i absolutely must see The Unbearable Lightness of Being or Pieces of April or Garden State… ok, i trust her taste . . . → Read More: i’m dying to see this movie! so i have no idea what it’s about…

MY movies ratings

i was just complaining on twitter a couple weeks ago (one, two) about the netflix rating system being very restrictive…  one star = hated it, two = didn’t like, three = liked, four – really liked, and five = loved…
there are SO FEW films i want to give a five-star rating, but, according to their system, . . . → Read More: MY movies ratings

Coens in the ‘querque!

KOAT.com – Entertainment – Coen Brothers Hold Casting Call In New Mexico
oh man, as much as i love the coens…  i have been a fan for years (i guess it all started with Fargo nearly ten years ago) and here lately it has been crazy…  i got on a kick a month or two ago . . . → Read More: Coens in the ‘querque!

the whole “Ebert on games” thing

just a few links, not a comprehensive list… i was just going to add these links to the sidebar “looking at” list, but, they are scattered and there seems to be no one gateway point to get to all of them, so, i’ll put them together here…

most people know what i have to say on . . . → Read More: the whole “Ebert on games” thing

wow, i think my inner child is wounded

‘Burque Babble: Ten Reasons I Don’t Heart the Balloon Fiesta

but, he clearly loves movies so he can’t be all bad…

and, speaking of movies, he points out that he teaches “Humanities and Film at a local middle school“… WHAT?!! how come they didn’t have that in MY day? i’d be hangin’ with Aronofsky right . . . → Read More: wow, i think my inner child is wounded
