At the movies

Saw Tropic Thunder last Friday. Very funny, though my standard Ben Stiller complaint holds: he likes playing stupid guys. Granted that holds true for a lot of actors (Will Ferrell, anyone?) I somehow seem to want him to break that mold. The movie's a comedy about filming a war movie with actors who can't act. The moment I knew I'd love it...

Long Time No Blog

I've been busy. Actually I've only been occasionally VERY busy but I've been totally burned out. The last 2 weeks of July were hectic and I probably worked an extra 40-50 hours that period including working one 12 hour day , the next day driving 4 hours to Appleton (close to Green Bay), working 8 hours and then driving back so...

Amanda Palmer and the Boston Pops

The Boston Pops Edge Fest is underway.



Video here if YouTube doesn't show up.
Check out Boston.com as well. About a minute in she looks at the Tambourinist and laughs. I love little moments like that.
An interesting review of the evening here.

So I had a busy Saturday. I worked and while the stuff we had planned to do went by SO quickly I honestly was reworking my day's schedule other things cropped up and I didn't get out til 12:30.

Saw the Hulk. Now I liked Ang Lee's Hulk but I knew going in it was an Ang Lee movie. The Hulk can be interpreted as...

You Wouldn't Have a Chance and Neither Do I.

Mother fucking Steven Moffat. Totally has my number. Made me cry like a bitch with big snorting sobs and everything else. I guess everything else is tears. Still, I hate him.

So the 2-part Library for Doctor Who was good. Really good. I didn't fall in love with River, much like I didn't fall in love...

Maybe His Name is a Killing Word...

As of last Sunday the Venture Bros. is back and more Monarch-centric and nerdy than ever. For the premier, they even redid the title sequence to feature The Monarch and Dr. Girlfriend! Go Team Venture!

Even hella bigger nerd news: D&D 4th edition is out. Yes, Dungeons & Dragons. I played so much D&D in my youth that...

Music is What Feelings Sound Like

I have taken my last ride in the old mercury tracer. Yesterday I drove it to Kevin and Lisa's for friend memorial day bbq. As I sat in it for the first time in 3 weeks, I was instantly reminded of how accustomed I was to the feel of the car. I had had it for 10 years and...

What? A Work Blog?

Gonna blog about work as much as I feel is safe (which isn't ever very much) today.

Andrew Peterson's last day at work is tomorrow (Friday). We're headed to Ozzie's after work to down a few, come join us! He's a nice guy and really overqualified for his position so he did it extremely well. I did my best to accommodate...

Baptism of Fire

How many days does it take to have an accident after buying a new car? One... two... three...

Three days to have an accident.

So, driving home after visiting Challengers Comics, I take Western to Fullerton and then 90. At Western and Fullerton, as I'm turning right, a girl on a bicycle crashes into me. She ends up in the sprawled...

And I Shall Name Him... MINI ME

Quick wrap up. I realized it two days in but was too lazy to fix it but since it's been pointed out: Nicola Bryant played the voluptuous companion Peri to Colin Baker's Doctor Who, while Nicola Scott is one of many hot, female, comic artists. She's even a ComicSpace friend. If only I knew what ComicSpace was, it's...
