I got sucked in to watching Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares (USA) last night. Personally, I find Gordon Ramsay intensely irritating, but have to respect what he does, as a wandering Marketeer and Food-Guru. I don’t really understand why he has to be so sweary and aggressive from the outset... and it...

Yesterday, before I went to see Juno, I bumped in to my old chum Nick. We’ve known each other since we were seven or so, and somehow seem to have stayed friends through the years... if you ever read me writing about role-playing games, stand-up or sitcom writing, then you can bet that Nick is...
So, last night, my 6:55 PM plane was delayed until 7:40 PM. Which would have been fine, if 1) the Love Field airport hadn't been 80 fucking degrees with 99% humidity and 2) I hadn't been stuck at the gate with 3 incredibly snotty groups of St. Louis county high schoolers--and their...
You know, the weather here (for the most part) hasn't really been that bad. A little cloudly, the occasional rain, not very cold....... or at least I think I talked myself into believing that. The past few days have been GOREGOUS, and I think I kind of forgot that such weather exists. Sunday was...
I'm so proud of you for making a new video! You are a beast. And I still haven't done my video yet! Seriously, if you had as much homework as I've had these past two weeks, you wouldn't be blogging either. Anyways, I found this beast of a song on iTunes today and I think Gracey might actually like...
Today was the NBA All-Star game, and for those of you that don't know or don't live in Portland or don't care, Brandon Roy is the Blazers best player and quickly becoming one of the best players in the Western Conference. He didn't start the game, but he finished it: with 18 points, 5 assists, nine...

I suspect at any moment Regina Spektor will come prancing in, wearing a school teacher get-up and sing On the Radio. So MoH came yesterday. I didn't really expect that he would have made a decision, that doesn't change the fact that I'm disappointed. It's one of those things.. where you know it...
A blog update, finally. Life has been hectic to say the least. It seems I've chosen the busiest time at work to do a lot of extra stuff in my downtime, so I haven't had much of a routine lately and no time for blogging! David's brother, John, came in for a visit last weekend, and we took him to a...
I cannot get this song out of my head...well there are a few that get stuck in there, not so much because of the catchy song, or anything, but because the lyrics really do touch a place in my heart or soul, somewhere someplace....I just I know that feeling and of the words pouring out of ones head...
Tonight we finally saw Regina Spektor and it was worth the wait. She was artistically fantastic and was very happy with her Nashville audience. After cancelling and rescheduling three times I am guessing she wasn't expecting a happy group. She was mistaken. People were singing along and she would...

Last night, I saw Regina Spektor in concert. Often times, when I would listen to her on my iPod or through a c.d player or iTunes, I'd imagine what it would be like to hear those songs live. I just knew I would cry when/if I heard them... but I didn't. In my excitement, I basically saw the whole...
Out of nowhere, the Josie and the Pussycats Motion Picture Soundtrack is blaring in my mind. I loved that Cd. But it wasn't my first CD I ever owned. It was a mixed one with reaggae (don't care about spelling right now) on it. I told my mom I liked it and she handed me some Bob Marley. And when I...

It all started innocently enough with a gnawing drive to just get on the bike and go. It was meant to be at most a journey of four days of biking from Rome to Florence, close to main population centers so that i could get back on the train easily when/if finding myself unable to go any further. But...
It does not cease to amaze me that the Myspace-dependent batch of teens are stil around. I had my peak of logging-on-every-other-minute-to-see-if-I-had-a-new-comment in 2005, I think, and this ate me up until about July 2007. I think that above everything else, I was a bit frustrated because I had...
