Wall-E is at a 97% on Rotten Tomatoes right now. One of the first six reviews was this negative one. More interesting is the RT comment thread, where people rip the guy up. And I’m all for the “everyone has … Continue reading

Five things I think about travel

1. Southwest I like Southwest. It seems like it’s not too hard to get into group A. As long as I check in by midnight the night before, it’s been a lock. From eavesdropping (aka being nosy), it sounds like … Continue reading

Forgetting Sarah Marshall

I’d probably put it in a tie with Knocked Up and 40 Year Old Virgin. From memory, I guess I’d put it slightly ahead of both, but I’d really have to re-watch all of them to be sure.

LL Cool J on TNT: day 02 of 84

I’m not planning to update every day, but here’s two in a row. I cleaned out my shelf on the fridge and in the cupboard to eliminate the temptation of unsweetened mini-wheats and oatmeal. I hit Trader Joe’s and Safeway. … Continue reading

On the left is Jake Roberts slapping Miss Elizabeth. Not really important to watch, but it enhances the right video, the post-slap interview, which (if you were a fan of late 80s, early 90s professional wrestling) is really important to … Continue reading

Memorial day weekend: seven

This is my living room wall. My roommates had some animal photo book and they cut some out and framed them. It’s one of my favorite parts of the house, along with the gas range.

We took a lot of pictures of our swings. And a lot of video. Old-man day 2008.

LL Cool J on TNT: day 01 of 84

I got a little burned out writing about Memorial Day weekend, but this should help me find new things to post about. I bought a few books a couple weeks ago: LL Cool J’s Platinum Workout Plan, TNT Diet, and … Continue reading

That was sort of disappointing, but Kevin Garnett’s post-game interview was something special. Update: Here’s the interview. I believe he survived a heart attack on camera. Anything’s possible.

“THE GREATEST THING YOU’LL SEE THIS WEEK.” Fantastic all the way around.

Went to my uncle’s birthday party today. Watched the Finals game with, well, a bunch of uncles. After that ridiculous coast-to-coast I heard this, “Leon Powe! Action star! Anak ni… Fernando Jr.!”

A really good “There can only be one” render. Not sure how long that link will work. Seamless. I tried to find a link to the Radioactive Man episode of The Simpsons where they just cut a bunch of already-filmed … Continue reading

Now that I’m done writing a book about last weekend, I guess it’s back to posting links! Cory Gunz back when he was impressively young. I think he’s fifteen in the video. He’s Peter Gunz son, and his studio work … Continue reading

Memorial day weekend recap: Monday

Woke up. Jason was awake. We decided to grill some meat. Wally looked like he just fell asleep, so we left him a note and headed to Whole Foods. I was pretty sure the Whole Foods in Seattle had aged … Continue reading

Memorial day weekend recap: Sunday

Woke up. Jason woke up. Jason started playing guitar directly into Wally’s ear. Wally woke up. We were hungry. Each of us got ready and I tried to look up a place to eat. I found a review for one … Continue reading
