I actually liked a movie!   Of course, this movie was Toy Story Three, which probably everyone already knew was awesome.   I can get awfully down on most films, so I thought some positive feedback was in order.  However...like...what do you say when something is good?  Good job?   It's something I need to think about more in my life, I guess; how ( Read more... )

It's a shame Thomas Jefferson died two hundred years ago, because I think we could have really hit it off.

I decided to change my life one morning.  It was nearing six AM and I hadn't been home, though home was at the time only a few stories above the pub at which I had been steadily drinking for what probably encroached upon twelve hours.  None of my companions would accompany me to the Abbey, a small park a few blocks away, where I had taken to ( Read more... )

My dream now is to go spear fishing.  Snorkeling isn't enough, I need to do it at night, with like, a harpoon gun or something.  I'm not sure how I'm going to work this out, I guess I just need to find someone who goes spear fishing and who doesn't mind taking out some chick who will probably get chomped on by a barracuda.  I mean, I've only been ( Read more... )

Yeah, I know I had several years to watch the first Iron Man movie, and it never happened.  By that time, the Batman franchise had made a comeback, there were like, three X-men movies kicking around, Spiderman  just wouldn't give it a rest, and these are all super heroes that I've heard of.  To me, Iron Man was just some other random idiot jumping ( Read more... )

A friend of mine insisted I check out his Twitter page the other day, so I did.  I guess this isn't news to anybody except me but Twitter is this...umm...Wow.  Let me put it this way.  Back in the 70's, David Bowie used to form his lyrics by writing a bunch of crap, stream of conscious, then cutting that up and taping it back together at random.  ( Read more... )

I caught a glimpse of an interview with Cumberbatch wherein he comments on the "civility" of characters attitudes towards homosexuality.  Everyone of course has followed the links on the previous entry and watched this show by now right?  So you're all well aware that, far from civil, the homophobia in this series is rampant.  Even though Sherlock ( Read more... )

I just noticed, because of livejournal's recent and inexplicable laison with the box office, that a movie about Secretariat has been made and will hit theatres shortly.  Now, I will go and see a movie about racehorses any day of the week, and it just so happens that this racehorse was the subject of my first resource paper in third grade.  As I ( Read more... )

I have been the maker of fruity, juicy, iced confections for over a year now, and I have never seen anything like the way women, particularly mothers, will browbeat, shame, and otherwise coerce their companions into getting flavors they don't want.  Top five methods:

1.  Eew, you really want that?

2.   Why don't you get [blank and blank]?  (repeat ( Read more... )
