So, I opened it last night and set it up. There has been much debate about whether to go ahead and open it or wait until Christmas morning. The final deciding factor is that, much as it seems to surprise people, this is my first REAL espresso machine and I have firmly believed it . . . → Read More: first impressions of my new Gaggia Classic

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. 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 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 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 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… nothing in-depth, just going to c/p the notes i took of what we saw as we watched the three movies… this is just about the dvd/transfer quality, not about any changes to the movies (there are countless sites for that)… nor comparisons to the laserdiscs or “did they fix [insert notorious problem] yet?” stuff (short version . . . → Read More: star wars dvd notes seems every time we meet someone that actually has a real interest in movies, it is always horror… usually cheap, sleazy, b-grade horror… we try to be open-minded and go with the idea that maybe there is just something we don’t know and perhaps it is simply a matter of broadening our horizons, so, . . . → Read More: horror night |

If you want to know what's going on in my life, reading my Twitter timeline will keep you updated on the day-to-day stuff (and, yeah, I'm on Facebook). If you want to see what's going on in my life, I regularly post pics and videos from my phone to my Flickr photostream and my YouTube channel, respectively. (I have reluctantly given up on Zannel for fear of them folding like so many other social media services recently, but I still have countless pics and vids there. And I think my Dashwire and TwitPic days are over.) I love photography and I also use Flickr to show off my photographs and snapshots, though I don't update it often enough, but here's my personal faves I've taken and here's my faves I WISH I took. Wakoopa knows all about what desktop software i use, Del.icio.us is where I keep all my favorite bookmarks, and I am always adding interesting news/blog items I've read to my Google Reader shared items. Mom, Terra, Wesley, and I share a Netflix profile so you can see what kind of stuff we watch. And yes, I own about 350 LaserDiscs and they are all listed on my LDDb collection page. I don't listen to much music but I go through phases when I look to Last.fm and/or Pandora to try to satisfy my needs. Btw, people complain because I never use my MySpace and I usually don't even remember I have an account on StumbleUpon and I haven't gone to my LiveJournal in years. I also own insidiousplots.com, jesusfreakgeek.com, abqdiscgolf.com, nmdiscgolf.com, and baristopher.com. Aaaand, for years, everything else kind of ends up in the old stuff directory. |
