The offline blues

Thankfully Comcast just called to confirm the appointment tomorrow morning. Even if the modem were working again, I’d make them send someone out as reparation for the hell my life has been without the Internet.
Yes, I am exaggerating (about the hell part, not about making them send the guy out anyway), but that doesn’t change [...]


Anyone writing a screen?

Just in case anyone out there might be working on a screenplay or something *cough* *cough* John August is willing to help. He’s blogging about screenwriting and answering questions from readers.
And just in case you don’t know who he is, he’s got a decent resume (even if he did write both Charlie’s Angels movies).

American Idol - Top Four

I really wanted to write about Scott getting dumped. Really, I did. How could I not be excited about losing that complete waste from the competition. Sure, we’ve still got the white boy and the robot up there, but I can at least tolerate (or sleep through) their performances. Anyway, it’s that (belated) time [...]

Lisa and I will be walking the 5K with my family in honor of my sister. I’m looking forward to spending the time with them, and taking a stroll around Philly [...]

American Idol - Top Five

That’s right, my stupid commentary is back be popular demand. What can I say, none of us seem to have real lives to compete with our real TV. You know the drill…


Every way but Sideways

I’m sitting here, finally watching Sideways, a movie I was meant to see in the theaters. It is brilliant, of course, but it leaves me with one major sad note in my life. I will never be able to appreciate wine to the extent of Miles, Maya, or even Stephanie for one simple reason: I [...]
