  • Simple joys have a simple voice/ That says “time is living’s prize”

    I know it’s from Pippin; geez louise, folks, I really enjoyed that play! (I only hope that I got the lyric right…) Howdy world!!! I’m having a grand ol’ time at Opal Divine’s Marina, looking over MoPac (and bluebonnets!!!) and eating the best cracked pepper fries in the world. I feel very strongly about this. Continue reading

  • Steve Irwin 1962-2006

    Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter, died yesterday in a freak accident at the age of 44.  He was filming a new documentary piece at the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, when a frightened stingray struck Steve directly in the heart. While he managed to pull the barb out, he still succumbed to cardiac arrest; all within seconds, Continue reading

  • WTF?!?!?

    I didn't announce this last week when I heard about it because I didn't want to overshadow Matt coming in.  But here's the news that I wrote at the time… The SciFi Channel is cancelling Stargate SG1.  I have no frelling idea why they think this is a good idea, but here's the story from Continue reading

  • Thoughts on Veronica Mars

    ***Spoiler Alert: There are Spoilers for season one here, but not season two, I will warn you before I head into spoiler territory*** Lemme just take a few minutes to tell you about the best show on network TV since…well, since Joss Whedon consigned us to life without Buffy, Angel or Firefly (sigh). In fact, Continue reading

  • Superman Returns, in short (no spoilers)

    In short, Superman Returns was very good. I had the day off, so I decided to check it, despite my opinion of Singers previous comic book adaptations. I thought that it had some continuity issues, as Bosworth's lipstick keeps changing midscene, and I thought that her eyes kept changing color too…but then I realized that Continue reading

  • Is it September yet?

    My brother saw Episode III, and loved it, so I guess I’ll try it out. I saw the original at about 5 years of age, so it was pretty monumental for me. Han Solo was even my first crush. However, I and II were so – dare I say it? – PATHETIC (with the exception Continue reading

  • 10 Rules For Surviving Til The Credits Roll

    I thought this was really cute, and that I would share… From Iofilm.co.uk – By Adele Hartley – 2004-11-9th It’s a horror movie… so why do they do that? RULE 1 Never split up. Especially when being pursued by a creature that a) has acid for blood or b) doesn’t function within normal space/time constraints Continue reading

  • Movie Reviews

    I would love to write full reviews, but I don’t have much time this morning. I also don’t wanna spoil these movies for y’all. I saw the Chronicles of Riddick last night. It is one of the most beautiful movies that I’ve ever seen…however, it was not as good as I thought it would be. Continue reading

  • Just a little bit of fluff

    Well, I didn’t want y’all to think that I had slipped off the face of the earth. I’ve been hugely busy lately – as anyone who has tried to communicate w/ me over email well knows. I have news aplenty, just not a lot of time to write it down in….I’ll do that later. I Continue reading
