What I’ve Been Doing 15 July 2013 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]
You know how the saying goes, right? When the cat’s away, go see a kaiju homage movie. It was silly stupid fun and it was awesome. Movies Tokyo Godfathers – Min and I were looking for something to watch during dinner and I finally convinced him to check out Satoshi Kon’s fairy tale/holiday story. I […]

The Wrath of the Lamb! – What I’ve Been Doing 11 June 2012 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]
That Wrath of the Lamb DLC is awesome stuff. It’s still a super challenging game to get through, but I’m absolutely enjoying it. I almost want to play it more than Diablo 3. Speaking of which, I’m getting close to 60…Just three more levels. Movies Haywire – Our aborted attempt to watch this movie probably […]

What I’ve Been Doing 4 June 2012 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]
Just can’t get away from moving. Finished moving Tiffany and then I had to move. All this rapid-fire moving has me completely sick of it. I’m considering burning all my stuff the next time I have to move… Movies Another week with none. I’ve got a Netflix disc just waiting too… TV Mad Men – […]

Moving Day – What I’ve Been Doing 28 May 2012 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]
Every joint and muscle in my body is stiff, but I least I put in a nice, hard, honest day’s work, right? …RIGHT?! Movies Not this week. Sorry, folks. TV Community – Who knows what the post-Dan Harmon era of Community will bring, but I thoroughly enjoyed his last season. A lot of experimentation and […]

What I’ve Been Doing 14 May 2012 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]
Want people to get a taste of your game? Have a free weekend. I put in 11 hours and I probably would have bought the game if it wasn’t for Diablo 3 dropping tomorrow. Sorry, Tropico 4. Maybe next Steam sale. Movies Election – The prototype that all kinds of high school shows like Popular […]

Mad Men S5E7 “Lady Lazarus” [IB]
“Tomorrow Never Knows” is not my favorite song by The Beatles. Not by a long shot. In general I’m not a fan of their drug-inspired work, but I recognize how Revolver, and, specifically, “Tomorrow Never Knows”, is the turning point for the band (for the record, Rubber Soul is better than Revolver). It’s also the […]

What I’ve Been Doing 7 May 2012 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]
Readership assemble! Min and I made the great sacrifice of seeing The Avengers for you. Our verdict? It’s excellent. Go see it, y’all. Seriously. Movies The Avengers – It does precisely what I thought was impossible by focusing on each individual character for a bit and giving them all arcs. Granted, most of the groundwork […]

Mad Men S5E6 “At The Codfish Ball” [IB]
Mad Men has this way of being so beautifully tragic that you almost forget that you just witnessed a wholly depressing episode. “At The Codfish Ball” deals with disappointment that hits the principals like a truck. Don Who wouldn’t love dealing with their socialist-leaning, disapproving father-in-law for an entire weekend? To top it all off, […]

What I’ve Been Doing 30 April 2012 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]
I did a lot more with this week than I thought I would have time for considering how much I played The Old Republic and how late I was getting home for a lot of the week. Fez gets special mention at the top of this article for completely immersing me in its world. Everything […]

Mad Men S5E5 “Far Away Places” [IB]
Now that was something. Mad Men does this kind of thing from time to time, but rarely is it done this well. Everything about it just felt so surreal and amazing to behold. I know I’m firmly in this show’s pocket, but I really feel like everything in this episode worked…and quite well. The flagship […]
