ah, yes, this is a great feeling -- I just saw my first 4* movie of 2006. An Inconvenient Truth and Pirates of the Caribbean were both fun, but I'm so glad that I ventured out on Saturday night to see Tristam Shandy: A Cock & Bull Story. Very "meta," but I like that kind of thing... Makes me want to read the original novel, but I'll probably ( Read more... )

My friend Anna told me today that I am "infallible" when it comes to picking girl-centered rock music acts. Who knew that that was where my talents lie?

So, I must blog about my trip this last week. Here goes ( Read more... )

My life has become entirely too intertwined with my DVR. I keep telling it to record more things, and the only way to make sure that I have enough room for future recordings is watching and deleting what I've already recorded. So, right now, the machine sits about 1/2 full (it can hold up to 80 hours), and I generally have to watch 2 movies a day ( Read more... )

My brother's band, The Jimmy Carter Experience, is playing at WKQQ's Decent Exposure thing tonight. They go on early, 9:00 pm.

We kind of expect people to pay more attention to the video than the

We recently got a DVR through the cable company at my house, so I've been recording movies left and right off our digital movie package that we've barely been watching for the last 2 years.

I absolutely love Slings & Arrows, a Canadian drama series that the Sundance Channel is rebroadcasting. Right now, the director of MacBeth is halucinating visions of a star director who has radically different opinions on the play. It's so good... Honestly, I'm guessing that I'm the only person in Kentucky who loves this show so much... (if ( Read more... )

Little Known Fact #49: It is absolutely impossible to play a game of Monopoly without at least one player cheating... In other words, never leave your seat, even if it takes 14 hours...

Anecdote: About a week ago, during a fierce wind storm, our garbage can ran away. Sad, to be sure. We looked up and down the street for it, but it was gone. We mourned our loss and moved on ( Read more... )

On Thursday, I drove down to Knoxville to see They Might Be Giants. It was awesome. Sure, this was the 14th time I've seen them, but so? Their shows are literally the happiest moments of my life. And I mean literal in the literal sense, not the figurative that it has come to mean. Their shows are pure bliss and I forget about all of my ( Read more... )
