Follies Fallout and Other Diversions

Saturday, April 3rd, 2010

Well, it’s been a week since we closed the show and I’m still a bit high on life. I already miss the cast (even though I see a substantial portion of them every day of school). It’ll probably be a while (if ever) before we have official performance clips online, but I uploaded a whole [...]

Does It Have to End?

Friday, March 19th, 2010

Well, the last bits of my Spring Break are here. With a long day of Follies rehearsal on Sunday, and tech rehearsals and performances next week, I’ve got to get all my actual class-related work done tonight and tomorrow. Next week is going to be intense… Anyway, the definite highlight of the week was the [...]

Tuesday in the Park with Dogs

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

My buddy Mike set me up with a couple of handsome young guys this week. I’m filling in for him as a professional dog-walker this week while he’s out of town on Spring Break. There are worse ways to spend the afternoon than hanging out with Charlie and Oliver. And they’re totally hottie-magnets and they [...]

And I am a weapon of massive consumption

Tuesday, January 5th, 2010

Thanks to holiday gift cards, I’ve spent much of my break doing things like reading non-law books and going to movies. Also watching cartoon marathons on television. Anyway, here are my quick reviews of the movies and books. Avatar is sort of like a twink on ecstasy working a stripper pole. Sure, it’s fun to [...]

2009 in Review

Wednesday, December 30th, 2009

Well, I’m not going as all-out as I did last year with the year in review stuff, but some data for posterity… Movies I saw in the theater in 2009: Avatar Nine Happy Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Star Trek The Hurt Locker Sugar X-Men Origins: Wolverine Notable not-required-for-school Books I read in 2009: Snuff, [...]

Marry, F*ck or Kill

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009

Well, depending on what happens next week, my level of internet access, and my schedule, this could be the last one of these for a while. I thought about putting regular commenters into the game this week, but decided that stealing photos off people’s facebook pages seemed a bit invasive. So, instead, the theme is [...]

Busy Doing Nothing

Tuesday, May 5th, 2009

The day started out in a rush as I had an early morning meeting with my newest tutoring student, but by the time I got home, finished climbing an imaginary 184 flights of stairs at the gym, cooked my daily omelet, and cleaned up a bit, I realized I had no desire to spend the [...]

Views and Reviews

Saturday, May 2nd, 2009

Today was so nice I decided to take a quick trip to the local comic store for Free Comic Book Day (disappointed in the offerings this year, but did buy the Astonishing X-Men books that have come out since last August when I stopped buying comics every week). I also went for a walk in [...]

A One Dog household

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

Alas, Dr. Frankie has found a new home with a new family that can give her a big backyard to express that puppy spirit and a big brother who isn’t too old to adapt to that adolescent energy. We’ve enjoyed fostering Frankie, but she’s been growing so quickly that we feel bad putting her in [...]

Short Reviews

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009

It’s been a while since I shared my feedback on movies or books with which I have been distracting myself. From the Netflix and the library… Fling (Brandon Routh, Steve Sandvoss, Courtney Ford, Shoshana Bush; 2008; dir: John Stewart Muller) The story of things going right and wrong for a young couple in an open [...]
