So, it' been a while since I wrote at length, hasn't it ( Read more... )

Half the fun of having Netflix is slowly working through the queue of over 50 items I furiously compiled when I first set this up, to the point that the next thing delivered is often a pleasant surprise. That said, I really need to sit down with Synecdoche, NY and Touch of Evil (referred to as the real Welles masterpiece by at least one reputable ( Read more... )

Getting my Monday started with NPR's exclusive live stream of the new Gorillaz (so far it ain't too bad, even if I'm not that big on Snoop Dogg. But this Mos Def track positively kills). This may be one of the few times I've come in after a weekend and been disappointed at how little email I had waiting for me. Ah well, I suppose it's just a ( Read more... )

Working until 7:30 had me less than enthusiastic about going to the gym, so finding I'd forgotten my running shoes more or less sealed it. Instead I've eaten more than enough dinner for one night and am half-paying attention to this entry while watching Christopher Nolan's Following. Somewhat disappointed in myself, since I got an ( Read more... )

Just got back from lunch at the mall and picking up an extension cord at Target; half an hour or so in the hotel room before sound check and I think Andy is killing an excremental demon in the bathroom. We're getting out of sound check just in time for a "Doctor Who: The Russel T. Davies Years" which should be fun. Shot the non-live stuff for ( Read more... )

A Week Happens:
Monday: Gym, Laundry
Tuesday: LOST, Umlaut
Wednesday: More Laundry, Packing
Thursday: Gym, Nap(?), Chattanooga-ward around 11pm

It doesn't seem like much, until one takes into account that I'm trying to stay as close to 40 hours as possible in a span of 4 days. I suppose getting to work before 9 (or hell, even by 9) ( Read more... )

Mudhouse is an odd population today. On the one hand, there's the considerably sketch looking guy at the table next to me, playing Second Life on a huge external monitor and working his way through a box of Girl Scout cookies, alternately mumbling and blurting things incoherently to himself. On the other hand, there's the very well dressed man ( Read more... )

Soderbergh's Solaris while doing my laundry tonight, which I thoroughly enjoyed regardless of it being a protracted episode of any number of Star Trek iterations. Good science fiction can accomplish a number of things, not the least of which being a way to ask existential questions not as easily framed in our current reality. But you knew that ( Read more... )

Somehow, this $12.99 snow shovel is holding up. That's three times now on the driveway, plus helping Bill & Mandy to shovel out their respective cars that are parked on the street. Then we lost power for a good few hours, perfect excuse to take a nap that was pleasantly interrupted when everything kicked back on ( Read more... )
