Summer comedy

My husband took me to see Baby Mama on Monday night. I wanted to support a smart chick film – they’re so rarely made. I thought it was pretty darn funny.

Before the film, though, they ran a trailer for something I’ve been dying to see ever since I heard about it’s debut at Sundance [...]

V is for Victory!

So Andrew and I have been on TV marathon kicks lately. He’d been wanting something from his youth for awhile so I picked it up for his birthday a few weeks back – the V TV series. But before we start the series we had to watch the original mini-series and the “final battle” TV [...]

Happy 5th birthday

to the iTunes store! Who’d a thought 5 years ago that online music from Apple would be such a big deal?

Random thoughts from this weekend

1. Remember when Cuba Gooding Jr won that Oscar that one time? It makes me sad that he’s on a Hanes ad now.

2. I was wondering this weekend what happened to Vin Diesel, cuz I kinda liked him. Turns out he, and pretty much the whole original cast of The Fast and the Furious [...]

Big chicken might be a compliment!

Scientists did some science magic and determined that the Tyrannosaurus Rex is actually closely related to… the chicken! Basically, they got ahold of a really well preserved sample of dino collagen and were able to analyze its proteins. Read the sciencey article here, because they explain it much better than I ever would. It’s cool [...]

Thursday nights are now TV bliss

Tonight I have The Office, then 30 Rock, switch to ABC for LOST and then blisssssss…

Tomorrow night we’re headed up to San Francisco to hear Sasha and John Digweed, 2 DJ type fellows that we both enjoy. It should be a good show (if we can stay up for the 10pm start)!

In the meantime, [...]

Now THAT is dedication to your super hero

This fellow got himself a sweet Spiderman tat. On his chest and arms. Check it out:

Pretty cool (until you’re the 75 year old man with sagging Spidey man-boobs).

My Mac can do ANYTHING!

Wired has this really cool article today, that’s timely both for me and all y’all midwesterners as of late. The Quake Catcher Network has this idea of using Mac laptops in the wild to act as seismometers as early earthquake warning systems. See, Macs have these built in motion sensors – they’re supposed to detect [...]

Where I’ve been

I’ve been busy. Not like, at work busy, but busy with, you know, stuff. Here’s some stuff I’ve done lately, in no particular order:
1. Read a big long book
2. Had a full out Eli Stone season 1 marathon. I will be bummed if this isn’t renewed.
3. Found this on YouTube:

4. Saw [...]

Super birthday Sunday!

April 13 is the day my husband was born, so we celebrated by driving south to Monterey. The weather was insanely good – low to mid 70s. We hit the aquarium and then did lunch, walked around a little, and came home and crashed. Took a ton of pictures, uploaded some to my flickr so [...]
