  • Superman Returns

    29 Nov 2006 » 1 min read

    Superman Returns was released on DVD today and I picked up the special edition 2-disc set. I’ve already seen the movie three times, but I’m looking forward to seeing it again. And the special features as well. I also picked up Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home and Star Trek: Generations. I watched the former…

  • Plane entertainment

    22 Nov 2006 » 1 min read about Travel

    I’ve got a long flight tomorrow: Baltimore to Seattle with a short stop in Chicago. I hate long flights because I get bored very quickly and I travel enough to where the more I travel, the quicker I get bored. So today I picked up Seinfeld, Season 7 which was just released on DVD (I…

  • (Mostly) wasted time

    19 Nov 2006 » 2 min read about Reading & Books

    I did almost nothing today. No chores, no errands. The kitchen table is a mess. My desk could be cleaned up. I’ve got a long list of things to do and a good step toward getting them done would be to just get them out on paper. Instead, I did very little. I spent most…

  • How to resolve boredom

    17 Nov 2006 » 1 min read about Reading & Books

    I mentioned the other day that I couldn’t decide what to read and with the weekend coming up, I felt I needed to take preemptive action. So at lunch today, I went down stairs and got my spending money for the week ($100). Then I walked over to Borders. I bought 2 books, Humans and…

  • Everybody’s working on the weekend

    05 Nov 2006 » 2 min read about Work & Career

    I was up at 8 AM this morning and took my car into Saturn for my 9 AM service appointment. Last night, while in the shower, I had the strong urge to seriously consider buying a new car today, but the urge passed and sanity returned, and instead, I had my car serviced and never…

  • Band of Brothers

    19 Oct 2006 » 1 min read about Reading & Books

    I’m in one of those reading dry spells where no matter what book I pick up, I can’t seem to get interested in it. So this evening, I lazed around and finally put on the HBO mini-series, Band of Brothers, which I have watched several times before. I watched the first two episodes tonight and…

  • Friday night on Saturday morning

    07 Oct 2006 » 2 min read about Travel

    If it wasn’t clear from my perfectly coherent post last night, we did not end up going to the Whitney museum. I left work around 2 PM and was first in line to board the sold-out 3 PM Acela to New York City. I sat in the Quiet Car, as usual. This time, I have…

  • Karma?

    02 Oct 2006 » 1 min read about Work & Career

    Why I don’t believe in karma: One would think that because I turned in the $100 bill I found on Saturday that I had a little karma coming to me. So today, one of my co-workers asked if I had a DVD that they could borrow to test the DVD functionality of a laptop. I…

  • Slow Sunday afternoons

    01 Oct 2006 » 1 min read about Reading & Books

    Today has been one of those slow Sunday afternoons typical of early fall. I don’t feel like reading, I don’t feel like writing. I would otherwise be pretty bored, except that last night I picked up the first three seasons of Scrubs on DVD so I’ll probably spend the afternoon watching an episode or two.…

  • Pizza and a movie

    25 Mar 2006 » 1 min read

    That’s what I spend the early part of my evening doing. I am so sick of pizza, I am always telling people how sick of pizza I am, but this evening, what did I do? I ordered a pizza from Pizza Hut. It’s the first time I’ve ever felt bad for a delivery man. This…

  • SNL: The Best of Christopher Walken

    24 Mar 2006 » 1 min read

    I got this DVD from NetFlix today and it is one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a long time. I’ve always been a Christopher Walken fan, but this is him at his funniest. I laughed through the entire hour and twenty minutes of skits.
