Movies 101 Meme

Monday, April 24th, 2006

How "movie literate" are you? After rating over 900 movies on Netflix, I figured I must be passably literate when it comes to movies. So when I saw the 101 movies meme, based on Roger Ebert’s list of moves you have to see before you can have an intelligent discussion about film, I thought I’d […]

More Friday Random Ten

Friday, February 17th, 2006

OK. I admit it. This meme is a easy way to get something posted on a Friday when I’m particularly busy. And since the blog was broken most of the morning, nothing got posted, and I’m probalby not going to post until much later today, I’m totally falling back on this meme.
Besides, it’s also kind […]

Wow. I spend a day away from the blog, and it feels a bit strange to return. Like I’m out of shape after one day off. So, I’m going to take it easy on the first post and run with the “meme of four” that’s been everywhere in the last couple of days.
Four jobs […]

Feminine

Tuesday, December 13th, 2005

No big surprise, but I gotta wonder about these test results. I mean, I’ve never claimed to be the epitome of masculinity, but I can’t help thinking these results are somewhat bogus. At least a little. Maybe?

Friday Random Ten - The “Hangin’ with the Kid” Disco Edition

Friday, December 9th, 2005

Parker’s daycare is closed for a training today (which is probably cancelled due to the snow), and I’m at home with him today. So, there hasn’t been much time to peruse my RSS feeds for news and noteworthy blog posts; just some posts I wrote last night and one that I crossposted from the blog […]

Simple Pleasures

Monday, December 5th, 2005

Nio tagged me for the simple pleasures meme, and I’m taking it as an opportunity to reflect on some of the bright lights in my own life that are easy to take for granted sometimes.

Name 5 of life’s simple pleasures that you like most, then pick 5 people to do the same. Try to be […]
