Double Reading

Over the past few weeks my co-worker and I have been commenting on the rather bizarre news events that have seemed to captivate the nation this summer. Granted, due to my job and all that, I might have a heightened awareness of the drivel out there, but really: Yes, “Utah Boy” is a cute story [...]

I learned last night while watching The West Wing that there are only three words in the English language that being with DW: dwindle, dwarf, and dwell (and, of course, their variations). Inspired by this knowledge, I created the following poem: The dwindling dwarf dwells Dwindle, dwelling dwarf The dwarf dwindled in the dwelling Dwarves [...]

Thanks to “our friend Wiki,” I have learned the best insult ever: [you] venomous, egg-laying, duck-billed mammal … that is how Wiki describes “one of the strangest specimens of the animal kingdom”: the Platypus.

Last week I saw Batman Begins: The IMAX Experience at the Pacific Science Center IMAX Theater. As far as the whole IMAX experience went, I’m not sure I would recommend it. Lately I’ve been coming to the realization that I like watching movies in my own apartment under my own conditions more than seeing them [...]

For those not familiar with my strange and creepy, though potentially funny in certain circumstances, telephone nightmare, things have started up again. In the last 12 hours I have two received calls from people claiming that I called them. Well, I didn’t. Someone with a 415 number did, not my 412 number. I did some [...]

I don’t know why I’ve been so quiet lately. Nothing has been inspiring me to write. I guess now that all the SIFF stuff is over I’ve been like, “Well, if I don’t write about SIFF movies, what can I write about??!” Don’t worry, though. I’m sure this dry spell will be over soon.

I’m sure everyone and their mother and grandmother and great aunt and puppy have an opinion on the Michael Jackson case. Yesterday he was completely acquitted of all of the charges against him, in case you are living on Zeta Reticuli. As for my take: I think this case pretty much highlights all of the [...]

Well, SIFF is over. It’s sad. My movie-watching will now return back to Netflix. I realized that I really do like watching in the privacy of my own home (without tall people’s heads infront of me, the stink of popcorn, uncomfortable temperatures, etc.). Nonetheless, I’m totally glad I did SIFF and I intend to continue [...]

Frozen was a bit of a disappointment, so I’ll keep this short and sweet. I think this movie may be better the second or third time around because it’s one of those movies where, at the end, everything comes together and you have somewhat of an “ah-ha” moment. In those types of movies, however, there [...]

Back when I was a kid and in elementary school you brought your own treats on your birthday, my mom would always make Fudge Krispies for me to bring. I’ve never liked Rice Krispie Treats, but these chocolate fudge ones are great — and no marshmallow (which, being a vegetarian nowadays, is a bonus). I [...]
