Survey Silliness

Long day. Don’t really feel like writing, but instead, I’ll gank this survey from CP. (It has some questions I haven’t seen before.) 1. The next person you’ll hold hands with, will it mean anything? The Magic 8-Ball says, “Highly improbable.” LOL. 2. Do you sleep with the TV on? All the time, but especially [...]

PASTE Sampler, Issue #38 (December 2007/ January 2008)

In all of the holiday mess, I didn’t realize that this one didn’t get logged. (D’oh!) Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings | 100 Days, 100 Nights Kate Nash | Foundations (clean version) Homer Hiccolm & The Rocketboys | Do I Wake Or Sleep? (radio edit) Anna Ternheim | I’ll Follow You Tonight Milton & [...]

Too Personal

I normally don’t spew too much personal stuff in these blog posts, but I’m entirely too far away, and it’s really bothering right now. My uncle, who some of you from Florida actually know, isn’t doing well. I’m not going to go into detail about it. It’s not my place to put the rest of [...]

2008 Pre-Season FB Picks

Rivals posted their pre-season “top 25″ teams to beat, and man… For the conference people seem to not take seriously, the SEC has FOUR teams in the Top 10! (My beloved Gators clock in at #6.) Wow.

If Time Permits

I’m in a wonky mood. Part of it has to do with the weather. (It’s ****ing cold.) Part of it has to do with the late-afternoon news about Heath Ledger. And the rest, I’ll assign to not seeing my brother in person for more than a year. BLAH! Just got off the phone with the [...]

Writing Snob

I love words. I subscribe to the “word a day” e-mails like a nerd. This makes letters such as the one received by this writer and blogger terribly depressing. Actually, I take that back. Their ignorance is not depressing. It’s frightening. While not all kids are bookworms and reading Jane Austen as seventh graders — [...]

PASTE Sampler, Issue #39 (February 2008)

The “Art House Powerhouse” Issue, which I’m not allowed to read until this weekend. >_

P.S. I Loved This Movie

So at my mother’s repeated urging, I went to see P.S. I LOVE YOU and witnessed first-hand what film finally converted my mother into a Gerard Butler superfan. The peeps who read the book upon which it was based are complaining it didn’t follow the story to a T, but I found it very entertaining. [...]

The Good Shepherd

I’m beginning to think I have a sixth sense about these things. This movie was in my Netflix queue, and it kept getting bumped back for other things. Then when it did arrive… I just wasn’t in the mood to watch it for about two weeks. I finally made it through this two hour opus, [...]

Peachy Keen Jelly Bean

Please excuse the following randomness. – Last night, I got home late and fell asleep fully dressed in my work clothes on the new couch — THE NEW COUCH (!) — and didn’t wake up until morning. – Today, I managed to put off taking an updated photo for work — hahaha! — which means [...]
