I was hoping to write something funny and/or insightful tonight but instead ended up watching a movie that I hadn’t seen in years. Man, I forgot how funny it is. I especially liked this exchange:
Character #1:It’s like what Lenin said… you look for the person who will benefit, and, uh, uh…
Character #2:I am […]

D has a cousin who watches movies every free moment of his life.  His taste in movies is fairly limited - guns, boobs, and bucketfuls of blood.  He’s always lending us movies, telling us how good they are and how much we will enjoy them.  We take them to be polite, often with no intention […]

I just found out that April 25th is the opening day of Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Day. Though I’m not one for stupid comedies, I really liked Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle because the guys were just so funny and good-natured. I checked out the trailer for the new […]

Continuing the movie theme from the last post, the added bonus of watching a foreign film is that you then get to see previews for MORE FOREIGN FILMS. The Lives of Others DVD had about a dozen previews and most of them looked interesting. Between NYPL and Brooklyn Public, I was able to […]

I’m not a big fan of award shows but I do hold a special place in my heart for the Oscars. I love having people come over to watch them with me. I even hand out voting ballots so that we can all guess who the winners will be. This year, I […]

I know that all five of you expect more, but it seems like not much interesting has happened lately. I mean, I would have so much more stuff to write about if I didn’t spend a large portion of my day at work. But I do need to stay at my job for […]

D and I went to the movies last night to see Persepolis. It is an animated film based on (or rather taken directly from the pages of) the graphic novels Persepolis and Persepolis 2 by Marjane Satrapi. The books are fantastic depicting the life of a young girl during the Iranian revolution, her […]

I saw this skit recently on a MadTV repeat and thought it was damn witty:

I wonder if Dubya had a chance to see it. Then again, he probably wouldn’t get it anyway.

For those of you who saw the UFC fights last night, you know why I have a huge grin on my face.  My future second husband Georges St-Pierre won his fight with Matt Hughes.  In fact, “won” is an understatement.  GSP was in top form, dominating the fight, showing excellent skills standing up and in […]

I’m so excited because my future second husband Georges St. Pierre will be fighting Matt Hughes in the UFC on the 29th. Originally, Hughes was going to fight Matt Serra (the current welterweight champion) but Serra had to pull out due to an injury, so now my man is in.
This will be the third […]
