Top 100 Overlooked Films of the 1990s
Filed in blog, Thu, 16 Dec 2004, 1:49 pmAnother list of movies has appeared, this time the Online Film Critics Society’s “Top 100 Overlooked Films of the 1990s“. Michael at eclecticism and his friend DeAnna started a meme (oh my). I’ve cleaned up the list, and changed the links to the films’ appropriate IMDb pages. The ones I’ve seen are emboldened, and I’ve [...]
Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story
Filed in blog, Wed, 15 Dec 2004, 12:44 pmOh yeah, Monday night Lisa and I decided to curl up with a good movie. After almost an hour, I realized that Club Dread probably wasn’t it. So for a real change of pace, we popped in Dodgeball.
Dodgeball is a sport of violence, exclusion, and degradation
Ah, stupid humor. How can you not laugh at a [...]
Give and Take
Filed in blog, , 12:25 pmI got my bonus yesterday (Yay!), but I got lost in Paterson on my way home (Boo!).
The Good Ol’ Days
Filed in blog, Tue, 14 Dec 2004, 5:09 pmSaturday night was the main event. I was finally able to attend a party with some college friends courtesy of Jeff and Sara Jane. I won’t bore you with the details, the important thing is that I got to talk to some people I haven’t interacted with in a long time. It was great to [...]
Top American Speeches
Filed in blog, , 2:38 pmI keep forgetting to mention this wonderful resource - The Top 100 American Speeches by Rank. Not just a list, they also include the full text as well as audio downloads of many of them. Someday I’ll have the time to really go through the list, and maybe more of the site as a whole.
(thanks [...]
More MHz to the rescue
Filed in blog, , 12:49 amMan am I a doofus. I bought this new system a couple months ago, and tonight I just got it running at the right speed. It was one of those package deals from Tiger Direct, including an Athlon XP 3000+. I was lazy during assembly and didn’t notice the default motherboard settings. With the advent [...]
The Incredibles
Filed in blog, Tue, 7 Dec 2004, 2:51 pmLast night Lisa and I finally found time to catch The Incredibles. In case you’ve been living under a rock - and if you read this website… well, who knows - The Incredibles is the sixth feature-length film from Pixar Studios. I loved all of their previous work (ok, I still haven’t seen Finding Nemo, [...]
On the radio
Filed in blog, , 12:36 pmDon’t you hate when you get in the car and turn on the radio only to hear the closing rifts of a song like “D’yer Mak’er”. Thank God for “Twofer Tuesdays” as the next song to come on was “Over the Hills and Far Away”. It’s like just as you’re about to feel disappointed, things [...]
Aggregation, not aggravation
Filed in blog, Mon, 6 Dec 2004, 4:41 pmNovember was an odd month for me online. Obviously it was my least active on this page (scroll down to the bottom and you’ll still see posts from October). But more than that, I withdrew from many of my usual visits and didn’t keep up with the news. This was brought on by many different [...]
Start the playoffs now
Filed in blog, , 2:58 pmI’m kind of going crazy here. The Eagles just demolished one of the only teams that could have been a threat to them in the NFC. They are practically a lock to make the Super Bowl this year. Yet I still have to wait almost 2 months to find out if they’ll actually make it. [...]
