    I don’t think it’s possible for you all to understand how pumped I am for baseball to come back this year. It’s been a long, hard offseason, but spring training is off the ground and I’m super pumped. Movies Higher Ground – Vera Farmiga (and her sister Taissa) stars in this intelligent movie about a […]

    It was a hectic, busy weekend that resulted in me becoming an uncle. So glad that the delivery was ok, but now I’m crossing my fingers for everyone to get healthy soon. Movies Almost watched one this week! Didn’t though. TV Justified – The stuff with the organ thieves was awesome. Also the scenes with […]

    Guess what, guys? I like Rhythm Heaven Fever. It’s totally the best thing out there. I only wish I had more restraint so that I wouldn’t be done with it already! Movies Hanna – A violent, modern fairy tale. Hanna was a really interesting movie that I thought had to be directed by a continental […]

    Big TV week for me. A lot of huge episodes and great acting made me a very happy viewer. Movies I was supposed to watch Hanna this weekend, but I never got around to it. TV Samurai Champloo – Turned out to be a show about transition and the end of things. About an age […]

    Everything’s all creaky and sore and old, but just because I’m 26 and old doesn’t mean you guys don’t get to find out what I’ve been doing. Movies Drive – Finally got around to catching this movie. Min was accurate in calling it more of an art movie than an action movie. Ryan Gosling’s pure […]

  • What I’ve Been Doing 30 Jan 2012 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

    Busy weekend with lots of media consumed. That kind of thing happens when I hang out with Min. Movies The Descendants – Shailene Woodley was a revelation as Alex in this movie. Excellent acting. George Clooney was also quite good. Pretty chill movie and worth seeing, even if the land ownership subplot is kind of […]

    Movies Evangelion 1.11 – Min has never seen Evangelion all the way through, so I figured the movies would be the best/easiest way to watch them. Ip Man – I ran into this movie as a “Watch It Again” recommendation on Netflix, so I thought I’d show Min the aggressively pro-Chinese/anti-Japanese parts because I find […]

    Parks and Recreation is back, everyone! Ron Swanson approves. Movies Paul – I’d heard very conflicting things about this movie. My feelings on it remain conflicted. I like Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, and Kristen Wiig, but this movie, while good, was not the best showcase of their various talents. I don’t regret watching it, but […]

    The Old Republic continues to dominate making this list much more boring than it should be, but I’m having lots of fun with it, so get over it. Movies Young Adult – David didn’t want to go see the latest by Diablo Cody and Jason Reitman because it looked weird. Well, David, it was a […]

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

    Been another slow week, but that’s how things go during the holidays (and when TOR is out) Movies Attack the Block – Much better than it had any right being. A fantastic monster movie with hooligan protagonists that you come to love. It’s all fun and games until the violence really starts. Then it’s hair-raising […]
