Today was the first Saturday I’ve spent completely alone in a couple of months. JMC has moved out a couple of weeks ago, but the boys were with me last weekend.
So, today, the only one making the agenda was me.
I wimped out on going to hear music last night after the Trick-or-Treaters and went to [...]
Last night I took the boys (and DS1’s girlfriend) to see the U2 3D film at our favorite cineplex. Of course, being the crazy goof-ball I am, I relied on Fandango for show times. Yeah. I guess that’s wrong to do that. We busted our buns to get there by 6:00 for a 6:30 show [...]
For Your Consideration. I was soooo excited when this movie was released. I never did find anyone to go with me to see it in the theater and it never made the Netflix top of the queue until this weekend.
sadly, meh.

I still can’t ever decide if I really really like Cher in this, or really really hate her in it. Either way, it’s a great chick-flick.
About marrying “the right” man:
Rose: Do ya love him, Loretta?
Loretta: No.
Rose: Good. When ya love ‘em, they drive ya crazy because they know they can.
About marrying “the wrong” man:
Rose: Do [...]
I know this is a rerun because Russell Crowe was on pimping Cinderella Man.…
But I’m now watching something I don’t think I believe:
Big Band, Paul Anka, covering Nirvana’s “Smells like Teen Spirit.” Lounge lizard style.
That can’t be right, can it?????
Seriously????

Don’t know why I stay up so damn late. Part of the reason is that I’m biologically a night owl. Part of it is that after a full day of rehearsals, (not to mention the craziness of Ash Wednesday) coming home and being able to go to bed is just out of the question. I’d [...]
I’m having a hard time concentrating on working on LN’s project. Partly because I don’t want to work every flipping day. Partly because I’m just a little distracted by last night.
So I’m going to sit on the couch and watch Dr. Zhivago (for the first time in my life from beginning to end) and sip [...]
The day is finally here!
Click here to hear my own version of God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen. (Not a very PC carol, I know, but I think you’ll enjoy my interpretation nevertheless.) (someone asked: what instrument? Accordion, of course! )
Click over to Neil’s Citizen of the Month to follow the links to all [...]
Does it seem to anyone else that Mr Potter in “It’s a Wonderful Life” has actually won? That the predominant attitudes nowadays are the ones espoused by that character?
This movie is an example of how each person, each business can have an impact on the overall justice of a society. But it seems the pendulum [...]
I am sorry to hear that Peter Boyle has died today. I loved his work. My prayers go out to his wife and daughters, and all those who were close to him.
The world has lost a great artist today. A man who showed us through his work a little of what it is [...]
