Weeds
This is my new series. I watched the first half of the first season yesterday. I gotta say I expected more. I hope they are just building up to some kick ass stuff because thus far it feels like an ABC Family show. I caught a couple episodes a long time ago during a free preview weekend on Showtime and it looked like a good show. I’ll finish out season 1 and 2 next week, then I think...
Little Children
I. I don’t know. I just watched this movie and am still trying to figure out what kind of movie it was trying to be. If I had to guess? Oh I don’t know. Book? That seems to fit. The narration aspect was really well done. The acting and story seemed to lack something, but it could have very well done that on purpose. Sometimes it was quirky, others dramatic. It almost seemed...

Deadwood
Easily, without any doubt, undeniably the greatest series I have ever seen. Just finished the third and final season. Everything about this show is spectacular. Cinematography, writing, production value. Everything is nailed. You can fall in and out of love with most characters over the course of a single season. The entire first season had me on the edge of my seat. Each episode left off...
Headshot section shaping up →
As much as I hate the limited creativity that comes with headshots, I am starting to understand them better and beef up that part of my image section.
Lullaby
Finally finished Lullaby. This was the first Palahniuk book that took me over a week to read (actually took a couple months). The lengthy read had nothing to do with the subject, just kept getting distracted with other activities other than reading. The book is about a culling song that when read, instantly kills whoever the reader wants. After a journalist makes the connection, he teams up...

Sit on it Time Warner
You have one more week to entertain me with your cable television service cause after the Superbowl I’m pullin the plug. Adult Swim, you will be missed. Hello Netflix. Hi. How are you? Why, yes I would like to see all of these wonderful British and HBO series. You are going to be so good to me.

Yeasayer
Went to the Echoplex to see Yeasayer last night. My first time there and it was quite impressive. A nice big space filled with “the hippest people around.” Yeasayer’s music is good. They could easily blow up to be the next big indie band. BUT. The lead singer, equipped with both a good voice and great style, is a mega dick. Rule one of being on tour: Don’t rip on the...
More shots ring out
Another shooting last night. Fortunately I was at a buddy’s house playing pool when it occurred. Apparently a local gang member had just gotten out of prison earlier that day and a different gang thought shooting out the windows of his house would be a warm welcome home. Luckily this was on the other side of the street this time. I must say the police response this time was piss poor. ...

Mr. Brooks Review
I almost chose to go to bed. At 1:30 in the morning, why would I sit up and watch a movie I never really heard of starring an actor I don’t really care for (sorry Costner). I am so glad I braved the night and caught this one. Maybe I’m quick to forget some deep seeded love for psycho thrillers. The kinds of movies that want you to figure out the plot so bad that they use that...

I've jumped
In a world where one has many choices - soup or salad, diet or regular, escalator or elevator - I have focused my decisive skills on bloggery. I have seen the light, with much thanks to Old Aunt Amy. I need customization. I need to be able to choose and change many elements of my interlife. This is not to say I haven’t enjoyed my time at blogspot (which will live on until they decide to...
