Yikes
Yesterday I went grocery shopping and spent $173.28. For one person. Me. No diapers, no formula, no snacks, no organic food, no impulse buying (unless you consider an air freshener for my car at $2.97 impulse buying.
Being Human
After hearing the endless buzz about how great this show was I finally added it to my Roku. Watched one episode. Then another. And another. Then glommed them over the course of the week till I was done. The last time I remember being this intrigued by a show was two years ago when I…
Meet Johnson, my 13" MacBook Pro
Before I got my beloved new MBP, I looked at my friends who actually gave their tech devices names like they were nuts. Why? Just, why? You’re going to chuck it in a few years, ten, tops. It’s only a means to access all that’s near and dear, and doesn’t hold the same sentimental value…
Rediscovering Peter Gabriel
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnwG2Pg0X1oRecently I had occasion to go through my old CDs, and zoomed in on my Peter Gabriel CDs. I used to listen to him a lot almost 20 years ago.
Tomato Paste to the Rescue?
Do you cook? If you do, then like me, you’ve undoubtedly made at least one dish that just didn’t turn out as predicted. Most of my flops occur when I’m creating a dish without the help of a recipe. But some recipes, even those praised by numerous individuals on the web, don’t measure up to…
The 2012 Movie Season January through March
It used to be that January through May were the dead seasons at the box office. Sure, there were surprise hits like Mall Cop but for the most part these were months reserved for horror films or a few love stories for Valentines Day. It’s looking like the studios have put an end to that…
The Adventures of Tintin
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xz3j8gKRUTg Tintin is one of the few areas in life where I can not, and probably will never be able to, remain impartial. Oh, I know the faults. There’s very little character depth, especially on the part of the boy-reporter Tintin. (We never see him working, even though technically he’s a reporter. And where does…
Baby It's Cold Outside
Brrrrr! Yesterday, winter finally arrived in my part of the U.S. north. I truly shouldn’t complain. December and early January have been unbelievably nice with many days in the upper 40s and 50s (Fahrenheit) and plenty of sun. Instead of snow we’ve had rain. I’m grateful.
New Obsession – Stuart: A Life Backwards
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhG_WImjnjM When it comes to movies and TV, I’m usually pretty copacetic. I’m picky about what I’ll watch, but after that I have low standards, and I’m generally pretty good about accepting things as they are. However, when I encounter something that I love – no, love – then I become obsessive. I watch it,…
Rock Me, Amadeus
I love rock music. By rock, I mean classic rock like The Cars and The Who, pop rock like Video Games by Lana del Rey, classic pop like Men at Work, fun rhythms like those of No Doubt, punk in the style of Green Day or the Ramones, indie groups like Arcade Fire – you…
