That’s Entertainment
Friday, May 2nd, 2008Why I love my job: I’m part of the industry that created Iron Man. It was awesome.

Cousins
Monday, April 28th, 2008I am thankful for my cousins. Not only did they give me hugs when I needed hugs (I’ve been needing hugs a lot lately), but they also told me about the awesome sale Vons was/is having on strawberries. Four pounds for four dollars! I love strawberries. And my cousins.
Day Of Thinking
Thursday, April 17th, 2008A brief update of what I’ve been up to: Been busy working (all the stars have come out – I see and talk to people ALL THE TIME!), been busy with church (I really like my Power Pack kids), been busy writing (it turns out, I’m really funny) and been busy watching sci-fi tv shows [...]
Who Knew!
Saturday, March 8th, 2008There is, apparently, a proper way for guys to hug. And it’s even a little different for American guys from the way British guys do it. For your viewing pleasure (I promise no cuss words in this one – at least, none that I can remember), click here.
Did You Know…
Thursday, March 6th, 2008… that on February 29, 1288, Scotland established February 29th (Leap Day) as a day when a woman could propose marriage to a man. In the even that he refused the proposal, he was required to pay a fine. (How big a fine, is what I want to know. And did Sadie Hawkins know about [...]
Not Suitable For Children
Wednesday, February 27th, 2008Truly the funniest thing I’ve seen on TV in a long, long time. Disclaimer: Content is not appropriate for minors or those who are easily offended. That being said, watch this clip first, then watch Jimmy Kimmel’s response. The only thing you need to know going into these two clips is that Jimmy Kimmel (Jimmy [...]
Real-Life Conversation (Via Text Message)
Monday, February 11th, 2008Me: Ugh. My shields are down to 50%, warp core engines are off line, and I’m running on emergency power. Cameron: Reverse the polarity, reinforce the shields with the secondary polarized matrix, transfer power from the secondary life support to the main bridge, and activate the Omega 13! Bonus points if you know what “language” [...]
Sounds of Silence
Friday, January 25th, 2008Well. My apologies. It’s been a while since I’ve posted. I did write a nice long post last weekend about the movie Independence Day, but something happened and that post disappeared. (Did anyone get a chance to read it before it disappeared?) So now, where to begin? So much to talk about and no real [...]
Good-bye, Chuck!
Tuesday, December 4th, 2007For now, at least. Chuck won’t be airing new episodes until January, and their last day of production is tomorrow. So sad. Good thing (sorta) is that whether or not the strike was happening, this month would still be rather dead on the lot. Turns out, most productions shut down for the month of December [...]
Slogan
Sunday, November 11th, 2007Peanut Butter and Jelly: Because life is really just that simple sometimes.
It’s That Time Of Year
Monday, November 5th, 2007My Christmas-slash-Birthday list: (my birthday is December 29th, by the way, and I’ll be turning 25 years old. Commence quarter-life crisis… NOW!) Hairspray (2007) on DVD Transformers (2007) on DVD Gift Certificates – Old Navy, Shell, Petco, iTunes, Apple, Best Buy Candles – some favorite scents: Tahitian Vanilla, any citrus fruit Slip-on slippers (either in [...]
Things I Learned
Sunday, November 4th, 2007Things I learned today (okay, technically yesterday): Girls aren’t very good at intramural softball; hungover guys, however, are. Driving down the wrong side of the street into oncoming traffic, even if only for a few feet, scares people (sorry, Chris!). Wheelchairs should not be used for flying. It is possible to have a dance party [...]
Question
Tuesday, October 2nd, 2007Here’s a question that has been on my mind lately: Why are we more concerned with making truth than finding it? Does it affect who we are, who we become? How can it not?
What Are You Doing Monday Night?
Thursday, September 20th, 2007You’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, 2007Weddings 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 [...]
Did You Know?
Tuesday, August 28th, 2007Los Angeles has a major league soccer team. They’re called the Los Angeles Galaxy. Yeah, I didn’t know we had a team either. Not, at least, until David Beckham joined the team. But even with Beckham on the team, will I ever go see a game? Eh, maybe one or two. I don’t know what [...]
Songs of Summer
Friday, July 20th, 2007I know summer’s half over, but I figure better late than never! Here is a list of songs I compiled that would make a great soundtrack for a road trip, outdoor tasks, a backyard bbq, anything that is going to be a celebration of sun and summer. This list can be listened to in order [...]
Just When I Needed It
Tuesday, July 3rd, 2007This is probably the worst way to exploit a kid, but it’s just too funny. I belly-laughed out loud when I saw this and I really needed it. Watch it. Be entertained. The Landlord.
Citizens of Humanity
Sunday, July 1st, 2007There’s a song in the movie Rent that moves me to tears every single time I hear it. It might be in the musical, too, but I wouldn’t know because I’ve only seen the movie. The song is called “Will I” and is sung in a scene where two of the main characters are at [...]
Blast From The Past
Sunday, June 17th, 2007I have been watching season one of the television show called ER. Not only is it amazing, but everyone is in it! Clooney, Wyle, Macy, Margulies… Everyone! And I was pleasantly surprised to see a few cast members from one of my favorite shows, Lost, also showing up on ER as series regulars. John Terry, [...]
Some Favorites
Wednesday, June 6th, 2007Some of my favorite words and phrases (words in quotes are from specific sources – bonus points if you can name which ones) nincompoop concur cohort tragic “pigspittle” “hell and damnation!” “foul git” “well-manered frivolity”
Browncoats Unite
Monday, June 4th, 2007Serenity Day (June 23rd) is coming up! How will YOU show your Browncoat pride? You could start by watching the television series Firefly (you MUST watch it first) and then watch the movie Serenity. Here’s why, really. THE TOP 10 REASONS TO WATCH FIREFLY (but definitely NOT the only reasons) 10. The man they call [...]
Sweet Dreams?
Friday, April 27th, 2007This past week I have been a bit of an insomniac. Late nights and early mornings, combined with frequent waking in the night, has made me a bit of a zombie. I think my sleeplessness may be in part due to the fact that I am about two-thirds of the way through reading my third [...]
Too Much Talent
Friday, April 27th, 2007Hugh Jackman is just way too talented. Watch this video (starting about 2 minutes in) and you’ll see what I mean.
Those Guys At Google? Very Funny.
Wednesday, April 11th, 2007The folks at Google are always having fun, changing the homepage to fit the seasons and holidays and stuff like that, and I’m always running into random and funny jokes. For example… Go to maps.google.com and click on the Get Directions tab. Enter New York, New York as the “from” destination and Paris, France as [...]
Because She Said It Better Than I Did
Thursday, April 5th, 2007Janet Batchler, an instructor of mine from Act One, Inc, wrote the following blog reviewing the movie Blades of Glory. She writes… “As the must-see spring break movie for the tween set, we knew we were going to have to see Blades of Glory. But we didn’t expect to laugh so hard. The movie milks what [...]
Do You Blame Me?
Tuesday, April 3rd, 2007Seriously, they look so much alike, especially in black and white. So what if I forgot that it wasn’t Liam Neeson who is Lord Voldemort but in fact it was Ralph Fiennes. See if you can tell them apart yourself.
My Cherry-flavored Slurpee
Tuesday, April 3rd, 2007Slurpees. Bringing weekend fun to the middle of the work week. What’s your favorite flavor?
Long Live The Office
Monday, April 2nd, 2007In honor of a brand-new, hour-long episode of The Office this week, I thought I would discuss other feature film and TV efforts of cast members from The Office. I suppose I should start with the boss, Michael Scott, played by Steve Carell. Carell has been around for over 15 years now, ranging all over [...]
Erase
Wednesday, March 21st, 2007Sometimes I like to write nosense things in pencil, just so that I can go back and erase them later. I also do this on the computer sometimes, you know, in a blank Word document or something. I’ll do some free associating, then erase each individual letter I typed. I like the idea of being [...]
