The one about way too many movies.

For some reason, I’ve been watching a lot of movies lately. Here are the ones I can remember:
Smokin’ Aces: I was expecting something so horribly over-the-top that it would be laughable. But really, it wasn’t so bad. I wouldn’t recommend it to just anyone, but it wasn’t a bad viewing. Don’t watch it if you’re [...]

The one where she says “Psych” like it’s 1976.

Is it just me or does it seem like all the TV shows are losing their appeal? Shows I used to adore like ER and Grey’s just don’t interest me the way they used to. I watch them now more out of compulsion than anything else. I won’t say any of them particularly jumped the [...]

Let’s create a scandal. Heads or tails, you call it.

Okay, so here’s the situation: the Official TD&Co. March Mixtape Mixer Madness officially begins next Saturday, on the first. We’ll let it run through the end of March, after which time all of your mixtapes should be in the mail or you lose and all of TD&Co. shuns you. That means you have a week [...]

[6:58, are you sure where my spark is]

Today is a day for a geek’s post. I am unapologetic in it.
A co-worker and I got into a debate yesterday about the worst/best movies of all time. It’s infinitely easier to make a solid ranking list of what you deem as Worst, as opposed to Best. Behold, my much lauded opinion [...]

Things that make you go, “hmm.”

For the life of me, I can’t think of what to say about this. In fact, I don’t even know what my opinion is.
In other news, I finally got the tattoo I’ve been wanting for years. I love it so much I just want to stare at my neck all day. No joke.

Here’s where else [...]

[i am not a social experiment]

Is it just me, or is Hollywood starting to scam major on comic books for their new latest and greatest plot ideas? I have a hankering to see 30 Days of Night, but I have an idea that I’ll be more than disappointed with the big screen adaption. Oh yeah, and Whiteout is [...]

I was picking me up, breaking me down. I was lost, was I found?

Yesterday I bought my Christmas wrapping paper. I was giddy about it, and only slightly ashamed when the woman at Hallmark said, “You can move those boxes over there if they’re in your way. I didn’t think anyone would be buying Christmas items in October, so I thought it was safe to leave them there.”
But [...]

What if I say I’m not like the others?

I know that we on Team Daria have spent a lot of time lately talking about God and church. And yet, I still have more to say.
The past six months or more have been discouraging, to say the least. The degree to which my feelings have been hurt is almost indescribable, and the list of [...]

Well, if I could, I surely would stand on the rock where Moses stood.

Today we’re talking about movies.
Yesterday I watched Stay. I still can’t decide what I think about it. Apparently Mel watched it as well and had a similar reaction. I don’t think things are explained as well as they should. The direction and cinematography is interesting, but I think it gets a little too carried away [...]

Love is not a victory march.

Humor:
I’ve been cranky and moody lately. Blame Eve.
So yesterday morning I was determined to be in a good mood. But then, at eight a.m. on the dot, the landscapers at our apartment complex went to work outside my window. Every Saturday morning, actually. Between seven forty-five and eight. Things like that start my day off [...]
