I was browsing Netflix and saw that one of the movies that was made while I worked for Media 8 Entertainment is now available on DVD. MAN ABOUT TOWN, the sophomore effort from writer/director Mike Binder, was greenlit for mysterious reasons no one seems to remember. Binder's first movie, the excellent UPSIDE OF ANGER struck a perfect mix of comedy ( Read more... )

Tonight I was minding my own business at home and watching Planet Earth on DVD (it's so wonderful, you must watch it if you haven't), and I got 2 text messages. Thinking it was one of my friends who is a serial texter, I picked up my cell phone expecting to laugh, and instead found two very rude, inappropriate and totally NSFW jokes that had been ( Read more... )

I tried to give blood today and I was rejected because my veins were too small! Of course, this was determined AFTER a lot of wiggling around the needle while it was in my vein. Now my arm is pretty sore, and I'm hoping for a sweet bruise.

I got a nasty head cold this weekend, so I spent most of it ensconced on the couch watching reruns of CSI: Miami snorgling with Pete the cat. I did peel myself off, however, to catch a showing of the new Martin Scorsese movie, THE DEPARTED. And let me just say, I'm so glad I did! It's really good. It's so good in fact, I am willing to forgive ( Read more... )

Is anyone else a big Battlestar Galactica fan? I love it, so I am really excited that the season premiere is this Friday, 9PM, on Sci Fi. Yes, I am a nerd. I just watched the webisodes on SciFi.com, as well as the first act of Friday's premiere. Looks to be a good season!

I think Veronica Mars is one of the best shows on TV. I love Kristin Bell's character, I love that she's a strong, complicated role model (and that she's written a lot better than Temperence Brennan on Bones, even though I love that show, too) and I love the supporting cast. So, when I found out you can, at this very moment, stream the first ( Read more... )

I got DirecTV in my new apartment, but haven't had the time to set up the Tivo just yet. Philip got me a Tivo for my birthday last year, and I decided to go with the lifetime subscription dealy-o where you pay $300 and that's it--for the life of your Tivo you don't have to pay for the service. If you keep your Tivo more than two years, it's paid ( Read more... )

Hooray for me, I've moved into a new apartment... and now I have stuff EVERYWHERE. It is such a disaster area right now. I have this huge bookshelf from Ikea, the Expedit model, and I was trying to put it together when parts of it fell apart. I had to use wood glue to put it back together, and so now it's all set up and whole. But, it was too heavy ( Read more... )

I found out this morning that Britney Spears is pregnant. AGAIN. Yes, her little Sean Preston baby is only 7 months old, and she's gotten herself knocked up yet again with the Kevin Federline (yo) sperm. What is up with that? Since she's announcing it, that means she's probably past her 1st trimester, so she was impregnated a mere 4 months after ( Read more... )

I'm very pleased to announce that my good friend Dan MacKenzie from college has a mother who writes romance novels. She embarked on this career rather recently, after she'd sent her 4 sons off to college. Her first book, The Naked Duke, was published last year to good reviews (on the Romance circuit). Her second, The Naked Marquis, is now available ( Read more... )
