So I just saw HGttG and I have to say that I liked it overall. I also have to agree with the reviews that say that it isn’t as funny as the books, but the reasonfor that, I believe, is that the funniest parts of the books are not action or dialog but the commentary […]

Last night I saw Kung-Fu Hustle, the latest film from Stephen Chow. I loved this move and will say right up fron that this is the movie that Matrix 2 & 3 wanted to be. I’m not going to spoil anything here but I will say that the fight scenes are amazing and creative. The […]

Last night we ate at Star of Siam. I ordered Golden Chicken and for some reason I didn’t get it until several other people were done. I wasn’t too worried because I had a chicken satay stick from Nicole to keep me from starving. Anyway, when it did arrive it was great! It’s a fried […]

I don’t know if anyone reading this cares, but Star Wars tickets are on sale. I have mine for all day on the 19th of May on Screen 4 at the Santa Cruz Cinema 9. Join me! Hold a place in line for me for between shows!

I finally had a change to ask the internet about the “Adobe Premiere could not grab a frame buffer error” I wou;d get when trying to render the movie to a DVD format. It was frustrating because it woul dbe working and then stop. Well I found there is an up date to fix that […]

On Thursday Nicole went nuts on one of the flower beds out front. She ripped everything out, put in good soil, and put in some native plants. It looks better than it ever did! Now it’s not something you have to avert your eyes from. YAY!
