You can’t watch that on Utah TV

Friday, October 29th, 2004

Well, last night I became one of those people.
To set up: On the way home I’d stopped by the mall to look for some good Halloween-ish movies. Mostly, it was a bust, but I saw Donnie Darko on sale and, well, it was highly recommended to me by the only other Buffy/Angel fans I know [...]

Winter Weather

Tuesday, October 19th, 2004

A nice storm front rolled into the Wasach Mountains over the weekend and the clouds are just breaking up long enough to catch glimpses of the snow on the mountains. The Wasach Front is at it’s most beautiful during this phase, when the white of the snow accenutates shapes and slopes you don’t always see. [...]

Thursday night was the writer’s meeting. Far from being the asshat bad guy, most of the writers responded with thanks to my new policies regarding [...]

I was caught off guard in more than one conversation. Still, no time like the present to start thinking this through. For my friends abroad, I apologize [...]

Not so ranty post

Tuesday, October 12th, 2004

To get away from the soapbox ranty-ness of my last post, I’ll throw out a few other comments.
I was home in time to watch Seventh Heaven last night. While I’m not exaclty a fan to begin with, last night’s episode was possibly the worst!episode!ever!
Without ever actually naming a candidate or political party, the Camdens talked [...]
