Mom has discovered that email is an easier way to break bad health news than calling me. Hi, how are things going? It’s crazy around here. Jared is being tested for a brain deformity. He is having a MRI next week to see if there is a deformity in the back of his brain. He [...]

Sunshine 3.5 stars So, as I mentioned, last night we went to see Sunshine, which featured so much pretty (Cillian Murphy and Chris Evans) that alone made it worthwhile. Yes, the plot could have used a bit more editing and certain aspects of the last 1/3 were painfully predictable, but (as Daniel put it) “the [...]

Last night we had a rare social gathering with some of my coworkers. Jennifer and Daniel joined me in hanging out with Abercrombie, CK and SG (plus many of their friends) at The Cafe. It was Abercrombie’s 23rd birthday, so a good excuse to drink. Two-for-one happy hour drinks, 80s music, strippers and fun. I may have [...]

I had a great farewell dinner with Masqthephlsph. Good luck on your trip and I hope Arizona is full of possibilities. The week has been intense and I’m looking forward to this weekend. On the agenda (assuming nothing changes): Raul Ruebens Day, Up Your Alley (formerly Dore Alley) Faire, and possibly Hairspray. I wish No [...]

I’ve decided to skip the long reactionary post about HP:&tDH for now. Sure, I wanna talk about Joseph Campbell archtypes or the use of fairy tale conventions, but LJ is seeing no shortage of thoughtful and mature analysis of the Harry Potter finale and I don’t especially feel the need to contribute more. I slept [...]

4:00 a.m. Too tired to do a proper analysis or anything, but I’m deeply satisfied. I may want to reread this one right away to better pick up on the details. I know JKR is pretty adamant that this is the last book, but I would love a supplemental volume focused on short stories of [...]

Taking Rob’s lead, here’s a completely unnecessary post to say that work is done and I’m up to page 150. Needed to sign on and check work email and couldn’t resist the urge to peak at LJ (with finger on rapid scroll button just in case).

I’m fighting the urge to run down to my neighborhood bookstore within the next hour. That would be silly, though, since UPS will be making a housecall sometime between 8am and 7 pm tomorrow. Besides, I have plenty of work to get through this weekend and if I do it tonight, I might not have [...]

So late last night, I’m sitting on my computer at home trying to simultaneously add notes to my “Law School Application Ideas” file while proofing our upcoming newsletter online and downloading podcasts when suddenly my laptop screen went blank. The lights that tell me it’s on were still lit, but nothing from the monitor. After [...]
