  • What I’ve Been Doing 16 Dec 2013 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

    Thanks to a snowstorm Katie, Min, Lee, and I got to play some Left 4 Dead. I’d forgotten how sharp that game’s design was! Movies Nein. TV The Amazing Race – I was spot on with my predictions last week. Super fun episode and, surprisingly, Tim and Marie ended up my favorite racers by the […]

  • What I’ve Been Doing 9 Dec 2013 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

    It’s been a surprisingly movie-filled week! I don’t usually talk about the sporting events I watched here, but that was a hell of a Ravens game yesterday, wasn’t it! Movies 12 Years a Slave – What an intense movie. Extremely well-acted and a brilliant counterpoint to Django Unchained. Where Django took revenge for slavery, 12 […]

  • What I’ve Been Doing 18 Nov – 04 Dec 2013 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

    Remember that charity thing a million years ago? Here’s the picture we took with Adam Jones. Pretty cool. Movies 30 for 30: The Band That Wouldn’t Die – I don’t remember if I classified the last 30 for 30 I watched as a movie or not, but for the sake of filling out this section, […]

    It’s been another awesome week! I got to meet Adam Jones at a tailgate and watch the Ravens win along with…all the stuff below! Movies None this week! TV The Amazing Race – Katie and I shotgunned the entire tenth season because it had a leg that passed through Madagascar. I think she’s really starting […]

  • What I’ve Been Doing 22 Oct 2013 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

    A nice, relaxing weekend led to plenty of tv getting consumed and a great new show find. Movies Argo – Katie, Min, and I were looking for something action-y, but not too brainy and this is what we (brilliantly) settled on. The flick still holds up after a year, but I found the embassy storming […]

  • What I’ve Been Doing 30 Sept – 14 Oct 2013 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

    Man have I been busy! So much has conspired to keep me from getting this out until now between going to Boston and the government shutdown and all kinds of craziness, but no excuses now! We should be back to our regularly scheduled programming from here on out. Movies Captain Phillips – Tom Hanks deserves […]

  • 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 7 Jan 2013 [FB/IB/BT/F/GO]

    I finished 999 last week and I thought, “Should I wait a bit before picking up Zero Escape?” Then I ordered it and got it on Friday. Man, I’ve spent something like 10 hours on it already. I’m loving all the new thought experiments, the prisoner’s dilemma, and the quantum aspects of the story Movies […]

  • What I’ve Been Doing 3 Dec 2012 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

    Four score and seven seconds ago I started trying to come up with a clever line to write here. As you can see, I failed. Movies Lincoln – I’ve talked to lots of people about this movie and it’s one I feel better about recommending the more I think about it. Sure, Lincoln himself may […]

    Guys, I got a Wii U in NY this weekend. I know what you’re thinking, stupid gimmick system, right? Maybe, but I don’t feel like it is yet. I’m having tons of fun with it so far, just gotta sink more time into the multiplayer with friends this weekend. Movies Professor Layton and the Eternal […]
