The 4th and final movie of the weekend for me is The Skeleton Key. I saw this with Nicole and Jeanne & Terry. I haven’t seen this many movies in a long time. I remember when this kind of thing used to be the normal state of affairs and it felt good to see a […]
Neither romantic nor a comedy, but my third movie of the weekend. I’m not really sure why the critics are trashing this movie, it’s actuaqlly pretty good. Maybe they, are action movied out this summer like the rest of the audience that isn’t paying to see it, or maybe it’s because it went more for […]
Yesterday we went to the video store and didn’t rent anything, but then we noticed they had a lot outside that was for sale. Clearing out things that weren’t renting so much. All the DVD discs were flawless or nearlyflawless and for $25 we got: The Cider House Rules (VHS) Collateral (DVD) – Haven’t seen […]
Continuing with the romantic comedy track we saw “Must Love Dogs” yesterday. I mostly wanted to see it because I like watching John Cusack and Elizabeth Perkins. A lot of movies based on books have an empty feel to them that you can sense even without knowing that it’s an adaptation. This movie manages to […]
Yay! I finally saw Hitch and I liked it as much as I thought I would. The funny bits were funny and the non-funny bits were done well. The only odd thing was the high-speed transitions between the two. Not quite the standard romantic comedy. Check it out.
After a number of weeks of long hours trying to get this project done enough for a demo to the company big-shots it’s done. Not that we fixed everything we wanted to fix, it’s just that we’re out of time and it’s going to have to do well enough on its own now. All I […]
Continuing with my not being able to help reading new Star Wars books, I’ve just finished “The Joiner King” by Troy Denning. Writing for the New Jedi Order story arc Troy Denning produced one of the two best books of that series. I looked forward to his return to the Star Wars universe and with […]
It’s not because I dislike coffee, sometimes I am with coffee drinkers who need their fix, and the chantico is pretty tasty. It’s not because it’s a big corporation and the local coffee house should be supported instead though I do prefer the variety of the local places. It’s this: When I go to Starbucks […]
Peter called my cell phone around 4:15PM and asked if we wanted to get pizza for dinner. I said yes and told him to call back in about 45 minutes so I could get more work done. About an hour later Liana called and asked what the deal was. we suggested Engfer’s Pizza Works since […]
After the long-hours work week cleaning for the weekend started. Then came the wedding and spending the weekend with Nicole’s family. When they all left errands were run followed by mental collapse. Late Sunday night as I was re-visiting my mail box I saw again that this is the time for Liana and Peter and […]
