It’s a shame that Mel Gibson’s Apocalypto looks kind of interesting. A shame because I can never, ever again contribute to the financial success of Mel Gibson. I got a random drunk call from Michelle and Erica in Vegas tonight. That was a sweet interruption to my boring evening. Okay, so my workout routine was [...]

Yup, and now I have to blame Bullet for exposing me to this. It’s not worksafe and once you’ve seen it you’ll never be able to unsee it.

Thoughts on Dad

Monday, November 27th, 2006

I’ve been wondering why I’ve felt a little out of sorts this weekend until it occured to me… A year ago yesterday was when my dad was hospitalized for his heart problems. Tuesday will be the anniversary of his sextuple bypass and Thursday marks the anniversary of that horrible, horrible night when we stood around [...]

Not so good

Monday, November 27th, 2006

There’s a reason I don’t get new videogames very often. Daniel lent me “God of War” a few days ago and I got started playing it yesterday. I went to bed at 9am this morning, got up again at noon and have been playing most of the day. If it weren’t for my need to [...]

The Fountain

Saturday, November 25th, 2006

I just got home from watching The Fountain. I really liked it, and Hugh Jackman is forgiven for his acting in The Prestige, which I now suspect might have been a case of a) bad direction, or b) an underdeveloped characer, or c) the inevitable result of being placed alongside Christian Bale and Michael Caine [...]

Thanksgiving

Friday, November 24th, 2006

I’m not sure if there’s much to say about Thanksgiving. Jessica, Jennifer, Daniel and I went over to Oakland and had dinner with Maggie and her sister Ann. It was nice and intimate. After dinner, we took a walk down to Lake Merritt, then came back for pie. The food was great and the conversation [...]

Othe animals that can’t nurse on planes

Wednesday, November 22nd, 2006

Hee. Caught this little gem at Overheard in the Office, a great diversion from work blog: Professor: Given the above table, who thinks penguin milk has less fat than seal milk? Half the class raises their hands. Professor: How many think penguin milk has more fat than seal milk? Other half raises their hands. Professor [...]

"What kind of noises?"

Wednesday, November 22nd, 2006

I’m so bored. You would think this would be enough to keep me busy today, but it’s not. (really, this whole story is an impressive amount of spin from these guys… the truth is that Wally’s isn’t going to change anything about their policies or involvement, but the evangobigots are declaring victory where there is [...]

Twisted statistics

Tuesday, November 21st, 2006

OK, I should be asleep. I want to be asleep. But I flipped over to CNN for a few minutes and I was listening to the discussion re: the draft. It seemed innocent enough and while I don’t particularly like even getting into the conservative trap about who is supporting/disrespecting the troops… there was a [...]

The Stage Collection

Tuesday, November 21st, 2006

Hee, only an hour left until “Save the Cheerleader. Save the World.” So, years and years ago, when I was a fresh-faced young showtune queen barely out of the closet, I found a copy of Stage 1: How I Love You at Borders in Reno. An album of men singing love songs to other men, [...]
