Today a new sun rises for me; everything lives, everything is animated, everything seems to speak to me of my passion, everything invites me to cherish it.

It was a pretty solid [...]

Thursday, September 20th, 2007

You’re watching Chuck on NBC, that’s what you’re doing. Seriously, I’ll be very mad and hurt if you don’t watch at least the first episode.

Weddings

Monday, September 17th, 2007

Weddings really ought to have live bands, or at least decent disc jockeys.
Also, people should be allowed to eat at the reception before the bride and groom get there.
Weddings are fun events at which to reunite with old friends and just be goofy, and there will always be at least one guy trying to breakdance.

Nothing New

Sunday, September 9th, 2007

Okay, so I realize that my last post had absolutely no news about me and what I’ve been up to, and I apologize.

Movies To Watch For

Saturday, September 8th, 2007

Okay, so here’s a list of movies that are coming out this fall that (based on trailers, industry buzz, and cast and crew) I’m recommending you go see. I’ll also try and give a tagline, some basic plot points, cast members, and a “why you should see it” for each film.
