My brother Jonathan loves me. I know he loves me because he convinced me to go see the 6th Harry Potter movie with him. I had seen movies 1-3 and then sworn off all Harry Potter movies because I just didn’t like the third one so much. But Jonathan said he’d buy my ticket to [...]

Up until very recently I would have told you that my geekness had reached its zenith. My geek cred had risen to a point and then begun to fall as I surrounded myself with people far geekier than I. I used to consider myself a top-notch geek, but then I met some others and discovered [...]

I am not very musical. That is, I can’t play an instrument, I don’t write songs and I don’t write music. Other than that I am actually very musical. I listen to music throughout the day and will frequently launch into song, though perhaps not as frequently as Raquel.
I like tailoring what I’m listening [...]

Yesterday I watched a movie called Green Street Hooligans. According to the MPAA it was rated R for “Brutal violence and pervasive language.” Now, sometimes the reasons given for the ratings make absolutely no sense, but in this case they were spot on. Brutal violence and all pervasive language. And for some reason I really [...]

Usually when Seth and Crystal get back from being gone for a couple of days I get a day that I can run far and fast from the house and never go back. Until I’m ready to, anyway. Monday was this day for me and I had a grand day out going here and doing [...]

Last night Raquel and I went and saw Twilight. I will state here publicly and with no shame that the whole thing was my idea. I’ve never read the books and I’d only heard about the series from Raquel who’s also never read them. I saw a trailer and the movie looked interesting. Plus, if [...]

When Josh and Adiel came to see us in July they brought presents for the kids which mostly consisted of books because, honestly, what else is there? One of the books is You Can Do Anything, Daddy! by Michael Rex. I usually think that most children’s book are simplistic and insulting to children’s intelligence, but [...]

This summer was a very good summer for movies. There were several movies that came out that I was very excited about. And Iron Man was the movie that started the movie season off. I really liked Iron Man and had resigned myself to waiting impatiently until it came out on DVD, but Erie is [...]

I hate the first part of trying to explain Lars and the Real Girl. You have to start with “There was this man who was so lonely and closed off from everyone around him that he goes and orders himself a life-sized doll.” People tend to look at you strangely at this point. But this [...]
