Happy New Year's Day! (The Phantom Returns)
First of all, I hope everyone has a great 2009, and I hope that the celebrations last night aren't taking TOO much of a toll on everyone today. The wife and I didn't go out but rather stayed in and watched a lot of excerpts from old MGM musicals: they were showing "That's Entertainment" on TCM last night, and we watched all of Part 1 and part of ( Read more... ) -

Katy Perry...*wistful sigh*
Yes, I'm a dirty old man. Leave me be. -
Ghosting On The Internet
Mostly been flitting through Facebook and MySpace when I have time, which because of the holiday season is off and on. Until Christmas, don't expect to see much of me. Unless you come to the kiosk where I work...I'll be there ( Read more... ) -
Citizen Kane
Turned on TCM last night, and I managed to catch "Citizen Kane" from the beginning. Having never seen what is ostensibly the best film of all time, I thought I would be remiss in my film watching education if I let this opportunity go by.

A Day Off
I actually have today off from work, which has been a bit of a rarity. What's even more rare is I'm even up and active. Okay, that's a bit of an exaggeration; my energy is actually revving up a bit as of late, which is really good. I'm very far behind on housework, online communications, some writing I need to get done, some writing I want to get ( Read more... ) -
Indeterminate
Well, I'm doing the rounds and figuring I'd better post here. It's kind of a flat day today, and while I actually got moving at a decent time I'm not exactly at full steam yet. The weather is gray and rainy, but the temperature is nice and I'm not arguing about any precipitation. We need as much rain around here as we can get ( Read more... ) -
Update
So, the wife and I got back from our trip this weekend just fine. It was a good time, though I have to remember that walking over hill and dale takes a bit more energy than I generally have, especially with grumpy pins. I got to see some people that I haven't been able to see for some time, and I've found myself challenged in a positive way to get ( Read more... ) -
Checking In
Hectic work schedule in anticipation of being off and out of town this weekend, but things are going okay. Just wanted to check in and let people know that I'm still alive and well.
Ankles were unhappy last night, so I'm sleepy, and I'll be hitting the sack soon.
Later! -
Highlander: The Source
No spoilers on this one, just a quick review:
I want the 87 minutes of my life that I wasted back. No one's fault but my own though.
And now, for something completely different.... -
Life...or Something Akin To It
Normally I would kvetch here about how I can't stand seasonal allergies, but as it's a common refrain, consider me to have sung a verse in this song and dance ( Read more... )
