I just watched this supernatural horror film from the later 70s last night.  It wasn't very good, albeit there were a couple of genuinely creepy moments and it had a pretty good ending.  What was surprising though, and what is worthy of comment, were the number of really, really small roles given to what came to be very known actors ( Read more... )

We're all moved in to the house.  Have been for months.  Still many things stuffed in closets that should be hanging on the wall, or someone else's wall.

I'm uncomfortably busy at work lately.  I don't think it's going to get any better for a few months.

That being said, I'm much happier with the job now than I've ever been.

I started writing a script ( Read more... )

Ever since March 3rd things have been rollin'.  We closed on the home March 3rd,  and I was offered / sought out moving to another position in the company.  Two very big changes, and both for the better.
The house is coming along quite nicely.  Our lease at the apartment complex isn't up until April 5th, and since we closed on the house March 3rd it ( Read more... )

 I went into a Gamestop today during my lunchbreak.  I hadn't been to one in a while since I don't buy games anymore, and they've now pretty much done away with their dvd stock.  However, in the off chance that they had some blu-ray discs as part of their buy 2 get 2 free used dvd sale (they're trying to rid themselves of what's left of their dvd ( Read more... )

 I didn't make a new year's resolution this year.  Last year's didn't pan out, but oddly I did lose some weight which wasn't a resolution for 2007, but was for 2006.  However, here are some things I can foresee for 2008:

1.  Come March 1st I'll no longer be a slave to rent and see my money go into the hands of a wealthy apartment complex owner, for ( Read more... )

 Right during the Thanksgiving holiday I went buyer crazy over upgrading my home entertainment setup.  Until that time I was sitting on a very low-end hi-def 27 inch television with no "real" sound system to speak of.  It was a basic setup to say the least, and with the amount of money I bring in per month I was certainly due, and able to upgrade ( Read more... )

 I return with the movie team I've selected to represent 2008.  This year was MUCH more difficult to make up as there are a good number of movies that didn't make the list that probably would have made at least 2nd team selections in prior years, and is slightly half-baked as there are at least five films that are right up my alley and have great ( Read more... )

It should be well known amongst the few of you that read this that I am a very light reader.  I enjoy it when I can find the kind of solitude that the main character from I AM LEGEND is privy to (one of the very few benefits of being the last man on earth), but I lack the patience to space out a 400 page novel to be completed within a week's time ( Read more... )

I'm fairly bored at work right now as our phones are temporarily out of commission, and I doubt much more will change within the next few weeks that I'll have to make any significant updates to how well this past year has been to me.  Unless SWEENEY TODD, ATONEMENT, JUNO, and GOLDEN COMPASS all turn out to be duds then I've got a good feeling that ( Read more... )

1) I just got word I'm due another raise this week.
2) I spent more money than I planned to because of it.
3) Everytime I get a raise I get myself into trouble by spending more on unnecessary, albeit cool, items.
4) This raise should play into our (Victoria and my) favor of getting approved for a loan to purchase a home in the next few months.
5) I'm ( Read more... )
