Ok, I’ve just now learned that the trouble with reading too many books at once is that you will mix them up. Especially if they happen to both be a collection of memoirish essays. I have always held to the belief that you can tell a LOT about an author by reading their books – [...]
Ok, I had geared up to make a really long super post in response to theDoc’s really long post-like comment, but then my internet decided to eat it and I don’t have it within me to try to recreate it in all its logic, reason-based glory. So, I’ll just say this: Alton is a great [...]
I will grant, Sam the Cooking Guy is a bit of a spaz. And I’ll give you that he takes a lot of shortcuts with his food. However, he’s not quite the food Nazi that Alton can be at times. I know, I know – this seems like sacrilege, but hear me out. #1) Alton [...]
You Are Changing Leaves Pretty, but soon dead. What Part of Fall Are You? What the fuck is that supposed to mean!?
Good Luck Chuck: I laughed, but there were a bunch of times where the jokes just fell flat. I enjoyed myself, but I don’t think I want it in my DVD collection (which is a sign of how much I didn’t love it). Finally, though, I don’t regret seeing it in the theater, but I [...]
#45: The Story of the Weeping Camel – There’s not a lot of action in this, but the movie itself is a fascinating look at the rural Mongolian culture. TPO and I were completely enamoured by the family of camel/sheep herders. It’s not really for a wide audience, but we both liked it a lot. [...]
13 Random Things on my mind I really hate people. I’m annoyed that I’ve been as happy at work lately as I have been. My one year “Coffee Disneyland-iversary” is tomorrow. What the hell is wrong with me that I am ok with working at that place for over a year?! Since the two older [...]
I don’t know what’s up with me lately, but things have been weird here. By weird, I mean that I don’t really have the drive to keep up here anymore. You’ve probably noticed by the lack of posting going on, but so much has changed since, oh… let’s say May, that has sort of tainted [...]
The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides: I saw the movie years ago and was always curious as to what the book would hold. I don’t know if seeing the movie first helped or hindered my enjoyment of this book, though, because far too often, I was trying to picture the scene in the movie rather [...]
The Brave One: Though the establishing “perfect life” portion of the movie bordered a bit on the “sickeningly sweet” side, the movie quickly got into the action and the main meat of the story. I liked that every move the character made was a logical progression… that she wasn’t automatically this Super Vigilante who was [...]
