Quote of the Evening:

Limiter: Would anyone like to hear about my little known Wonder Woman fact?

Everyone: Agh!  No!

Oh.  And the Award for Best Delivery of a Disgruntled Moving Delivery Guy Ever goes to... Limiter!  For his brief 30 second scene in Coraline.  Really, Skulde and Ordinary were right.  It DID look like him.

Thanks to all who showed.  ( Read more... )

Just talked to Skulde and Limiter.

I will be at Taylor Street Brewing at 7:30.  The movie starts at 9:15.

Any questions?  Gimme a ring.

See ya'll there!

Okay, so I messed up.  Coraline is showing at AMC Yorktown in Lombard at 9:20 pm ... not 10:30.  I read the wrong date.  9:20 is the latest show there is.

I was thinking of maybe showing up early and just chilling at Taylor Street Brewing until people start showing up.  For those who don't know, Taylor Street is right across the street from the ( Read more... )

Okay, so skulde13  and limiter3118 and I were discussing seeing Coraline this Friday evening.  Since I can't seem to get in touch with them, I'm making an executive decision and suggesting sometime within 6-ish at someplace big like AMC Cantera or Yorktown.

Voodoo Donuts is the one that has the BACON MAPLE BAR, by the way.

I particularly like their "The Magic is in the Hole" T- ( Read more... )

Sigh.  I'll just let the article speak for itself.

Burris Admits Blagojevich Donation Request -- He says ex-governor's brother sought $10,000 in campaign funds

I really wish I could say I've enjoyed being right about this whole sad miscarriage of democracy from day one, but the sad truth about it is, I'm not.

I'm really... REALLY... not.

I loved this movie.

Review to be uploaded on my brother's site:

"CORALINE"

GENRE: 3-D children's fantasy horror psychotropic drug movie with puppets.

PLOT: A bored girl discovers a secret portal into Henry Selick's and Neil Gaiman's imagination.  Unspeakable horrors ensue.  Alternate parents have buttons sewn on for eyes.  One of them may be Michael ( Read more... )

The title alone has you written all over it:

Packin' a lot of meat: Bacon explodes into internet phenomenon!

PS -- Yes, I'd also be interested in that Red Eye copy.  Thanks.  :-)

"There was never much hope. Just a fool's hope." ~ Gandalf

It's on that fool's hope that I place what little faith I have left in now Governor Quinn, and the many headed Madigan-o-nepotistic hydra that is Lisa and Mike. They, along with our "fearless" legislature have proven time and again what a petty, spineless, opportunistic bunch of hypocrites ( Read more... )
