  • What I’ve Been Doing 8 July 2013 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

    Sure, it’s not like watching live theater for real or anything, but this was my first tie experiencing one of Shakespeare’s comedies (not counting liberal adaptations like 10 Things I Hate About You) and I absolutely loved it. More below. Movies This is the End – I wish I could say that I had more […]

  • What I’ve Been Doing 24 June 2013 AND 1 July 2013 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

    Whoa, whoops! I forgot to get this up on time! I forgot to even post this yesterday! Been too busy, but we’re back now! Movies Brick – I’ve seen the movie before, but I figured I’d watch it as I fell asleep last Saturday. Made it through about half while conscious, but drifted off soon […]

  • What I’ve Been Doing 17 June 2013 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

    I went to three baseball games this week, one graduation party, and one father’s day dinner. There wasn’t much time for anything, but I still got some gaming in. Movies Nope. TV Arrested Development – Partway through S4 I realized that this season was just a giant puzzle box meant to be deciphered as you […]

  • What I’ve Been Doing 10 June 2013 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

    It was a pretty busy last week and this one promises to be just as action-packed. Movies None! TV Arrested Development – I like to think of S4 as a giant puzzle box that’s slowly unraveling, revealing its secrets to us. There have been some solid laughs in the second half of the season and […]

  • What I’ve Been Doing 3 June 2013 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

    The funny thing about this list is that it was mostly generated over the weekend when Katie was out of town. The rest of week I spent watching the second best baseball game I’ve ever seen and hanging out with her and Kara. Movies Guys…I just want to see Star Trek. Why haven’t I seen […]

  • What I’ve Been Doing 29 May 2013 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

    David was in town for the weekend! DAVID! He’s never in town. Stupid Iowa! Movies I tried so hard to get David and Min to watch Star Trek or Fast 6. Neither would agree. Stupid David and Min. TV Arrested Development – Got about halfway through the Netflix season. I think it’s at least on […]

  • What I’ve Been Doing 20 May 2013 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

    There was a point this weekend where I thought I was gonna clean to prepare for David and Kendra’s visit this weekend. Then I ended up playing Monaco with David and Min, Borderlands 2 with Yin and Lee, and Dead Space 3 with Dave, not to mention all the Poker Night and Bioshock Infinite I […]

  • What I’ve Been Doing 13 May 2013 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

    Took an overnight train to Boston to catch a game in Fenway and that was pretty awesome. Check another ballpark off my list! Movies Not this week. TV The Amazing Race – Almost done with the finale. I was pretty bummed to see Joey and Meghan go, but it’s still been a pretty fun season. […]

  • What I’ve Been Doing 8 May 2013 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

    After a long, tough week in Florida and a long, busy week in MD I’m looking forward to a little downtime… Movies Iron Man 3 – A new director means a brand new feel for the movie. Stark isn’t in the suit that much and it just all feels…different, but that’s not bad! I really […]

  • What I’ve Been Doing 1 May 2013 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

    Not a lot of stuff going on this week because I went home to see my family. Movies Oz the Great and Powerful – Not my favorite movie, but it was passable. It was fun to see Zach Braff again, but the movie was decidedly low stakes and, I think, hamstrung by having to set […]
