What I’ve Been Doing 22 April 2013 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]
Nothing really big going on this week. Played a lot of Tomb Raider and edited a bunch of episodes to prep for some dry times ahead. Movies Not quite this week. Hopefully this one, but I’ll also be fairly busy. TV Parks and Recreation – The most reliable Parks and Rec laughs for me nowadays […]

What I’ve Been Doing 15 April 2013 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]
I actually had a really busy week considering how little media I consumed Mon-Wed. So much baseball too… Movies The Thieves – I enjoyed The Thieves, but it had a fundamental issue of elevating every single subplot to maximum import. It was just a little too overcrowded and it wanted to have its cake and […]

What I’ve Been Doing 8 April 2013 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]
Broke the seal on baseball season this week by attending my first game. Marlins at Nats. Of course Miami lost, but it’s the experience that makes it all feel right. Movies Looper – Best line: “I don’t want to talk about time travel shit. Because if we talk about it, then we’re gonna be here […]

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 March 2012 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]
It’s cold and snowy and I hate it, but this should (hopefully) be winter’s last hurrah before spring and baseball season. Movies Silver Linings Playbook – You know? I actually enjoyed this movie a lot more on second viewing. The acting is all quite good. Definitely one you should see if you have yet to […]

What I’ve Been Doing 18 March 2012 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]
I did it, guys. I finally went and watched my netflix movie. It was…decidedly less awesome than I thought it would be. Movies Sound of My Voice – It’s not that Sound of My Voice is a bad movie. That’s not it at all…it’s more that I was expecting something a little creepier and a […]

The World Baseball Classic has been tremendous fun to watch. I love international play and some of the teams have been pretty passionate (like the Mexico/Canada brawl) Movies None! Sorry again! TV Archer – Season 3 just got put on to Netflix, so that’s great! I’ve been doing a lot of catching up with Katie […]

What I’ve Been Doing 4 Mar 2013 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]
Whoa, this is a little late. Whoops. Sorry guys. Movies Not this week. TV Archer – Both watching new episodes and catching up with Katie. I liked the weird homage to The Natural Community – Really not the same show. It’s missing its soul and that kind of stinks. Hopefully they find their stride because […]

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 11 Feb 2013 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]
Another year, another birthday. I continue to get older and, oddly enough, wiser. Movies In the Loop – I’m a big fan of Iannucci’s work and this movie doesn’t disappoint. Well, except for the fact that its ending is depressing and mostly based on real life. That part’s a huge bummer. TV The Thick of […]
