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.

first impressions of my new Gaggia Classic

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

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

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

star wars dvd notes

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

horror night

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
