Eulogy

I finally got to see “Eulogy” and I laughed pretty much all the way through it. I still haven’t been to the library to check out their selection, and we just checked for Eulogy because we were returning “Saw” (still haven’t seen). Anyway, “Eulogy” is a darkish comedy about a messed up family coming home […]

Yes, I’m a geek

Monk You scored 70 Holy, 52 Tactful, 77 Natural, and 40 Arcane! Awkward at low levels, an unstoppable juggernaught at high levels, you are the monk. I think an honest attempt was made to make the kind of monks you always see in those awesome movies from China, but really, they came up with something […]

Plumbing is done!

We haven’t tried the washing machine yet, but it has a nifty valve for both hot can cold water with a simple lever, and it’s all in a box in the wall instead of sticking out! It took the plumber 8 hours to do everything and clean up. Part of that was because his back […]

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

Most of my books are packed up because we were getting the floors refinished. They remain packed up because there is still a lot of wall work to be done and it didn’t seem worth it to set up the book cases again only to move them. My books that I haven’t read are also […]

Back when I worked at Agile, a co-worker went to Germany for vacation and brought a pen for everyone in the office. They were cheap pens that said Beer on them and have some logo. At first it just sat on my desk but one day I needed a pen and it was closest so […]

Apple update

How many of you thought I was going to talk about computers? So I got some more fujis because they were better looking and I had to give them another chance. Then I spotted some golden delicious that were actually golden. Usually they are a pale yellow or a light green and are pretty disappointing. […]

The Mask of Zorro

Before “Batman Begins” we saw a trailer for “The Legend of Zorro” and I was very excited because I quite liked “The Mask of Zorro.” Last night I sat down and watched TMoZ again and I liked it just as much as the first time. Everything is just right about this movie and I hope […]

Batman Begins

As usual, probably spoilers here… I think I like this batman more than the previous ones. I liked his back story and how it was told and I would have even liked some more. I liked how his teacher became his enemy. I liked the look of Gotham and how it looked old and modern […]
