  • 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 1 April 2013 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

    It’s that time of year again, everyone. Baseball season has begun anew! Movies Ruby Sparks – Way darker than I expected it to be, but, then again, I always expected it to be skewering the manic pixie dream girl trope. Well acted and quick. I dug it more than 500 Days TV 30 Clubs in […]

  • What I’ve Been Doing 25 Feb 2013 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

    Whoops! Sorry about the week off there! Back to the grind. It’s also baseball season (still spring training) again! YAY! Movies Skyfall – I didn’t have a seamless, uninterrupted viewing thanks to Chinese food and plumbers and plumbing catastrophes, but this was definitely a beautiful movie. I’d like to watch it again to let it […]

  • What I’ve Been Doing 13 Nov 2012 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

    Had me a long weekend and I managed to get back into the movie mood. Too bad none of them were quite as good as I was hoping. Movies Wreck-It Ralph – Not as good as I thought it would be. I mean, it’s still a decent caliber movie, but it doesn’t soar to the […]

  • What I’ve Been Doing 9 Oct. 2012 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

    Thanks to the long weekend this is posting a little later than usual. I also jammed a ton of TV in this week thanks to all that extra time. Movies The Guard – Irish movie about an Irish policeman who is one of those curmudgeonly old man types. Funny, but ultimately not that substantive. Worth […]

  • What I’ve Been Doing 2 Oct 2012 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

    Summer’s gone and the regular baseball season ends this week, but that doesn’t mean the fun is over. Movies Almost, but no. TV Sherlock – The Hounds episode was terrible. I like Sherlock when his mysteries are solved with thorough detective work and deduction, not the kind of gobbledegook that we had with the hallucinogens […]

  • What I’ve Been Doing 24 Sept 2012 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

    Not everything’s back yet, but TV! It’s back! Movies Cabin in the Woods – Watched about 20 mins while Scarlett was napping. I wonder what Danielle’s gonna end up thinking of the movie. I’m a huge fan. Love Fran Kranz TV The Daily Show – The Romney gaffe-fest made for some interesting commentary this week. […]

  • What I’ve Been Doing 10 Sept 2012 {FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

    This week was ridiculous, guys. I mean, so much K-Pop and so much Jazz! It’s like highs and lows here. Add in some fantastic TV shows and ninjas and you’ve got my media week. Movies Sleepwalk With Me – Mike Birbiglia and Ira Glass’ first joint movie project was a resounding success. It’s pretty much […]

  • What I’ve Been Doing 4 Sept 2012 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

    I’ve been officially Min’s roommate for a week+ and it’s been awesome so far. So glad to not be in that basement… Movies Margaret – This was a really challenging movie. The plot centers around a 17-year-old girl who inadvertently causes a bus accident that kills a pedestrian, throwing her life into chaos as she […]

  • “The Republican Platform” [SB/ER]

    I have a complicated relationship with The Daily Show. Well, it’s actually not that complicated: I fell out of caring about politics, mostly because of TDS‘s incredible skill at lambasting the ridiculousness of it all. Watching Jon Stewart stopped being funny and started being really, really sad. Not long ago I started checking out the […]
