LILO Back on New Year's Eve of 2004, I brought home a furry little thing that I named Lilo. She was nervous & her nerves tired her out, and she spent much of her first day in her new home sleeping inside her very large-for-such-a-small-dog house. She eventually came out of her shell, and it … Continue reading [Thankful2012] Items 9, 10 & 11: Lilo, Rikku & Viola

Juggling & Creative Juju
Lately I've been learning to juggle. {Maybe I should learn to actually juggle. That'd be a neat party trick. If I ever got invited to parties.} Here are my balls. {Get your minds out of the gutters, you saucy sillies.} I work your typical, 40-hours-a-week, non-creative, cubicle job. And full disclosure, it can be, well, … Continue reading Juggling & Creative Juju
Recap: 20 December 2009
Off we go with the Mega-est Movie Recap Ever. Lost in La Mancha (4 stars): I'm not sure who had the foresight to document the making of the ill-fated THE MAN WHO KILLED DON QUIXOTE, helmed by sometimes-out-of-control visionary Terry Gilliam (see the next entry), but whoever it was is a genius. This documentary is … Continue reading Recap: 20 December 2009
Recap: 8 September 2009
So, it's been a while. Sorry about that. It's been a busy few weeks, and I actually haven't even seen that many movies, compared to my usual intake. But, after a creative glut last week, culminating in 8 hours of rewriting/editing/tweaking yesterday, I hereby declare this week CONSUMPTION WEEK. As in book/movie/TV show consumption. Not … Continue reading Recap: 8 September 2009
Recap: 19 July 2009
Ahem. *points to the progress bar at the right* First draft of 'TIL DEATH PARTS US is officially complete. And it feels pretty good. This sort of thing usually does, unless I hate what I've written, which isn't the case with this one. So that's a plus. I don't think I'm going to let this … Continue reading Recap: 19 July 2009
Welcome to My New Home!
Hello, dear readers! Thanks for following me over to my new home. I'm still tidying the place up, so things may be a little wonky for a while. Additionally, all of my old links go to the old blog, which is fine since it'll be sticking around for a while. I just won't be updating … Continue reading Welcome to My New Home!
Box Office Predictions: 15 August 2008
This week marked the arrival of the highly-anticipated Tropic Thunder. It didn't open to spectacular numbers on Wednesday, but that just means there are more people to see it this weekend. Of course, I thought Pineapple Express would knock TDK out of the top place last week and was wrong then, too, but it has … Continue reading Box Office Predictions: 15 August 2008
Reading, Raining & Writing
I've been vastly unproductive this week, but it's not all my fault. Our monthly write-in was rudely interrupted by a wall cloud that decided to form in uncomfortably close proximity to a couple of our houses. In all honesty, I'd been procrastinating for the first hour of the write-in, but I swear I was about … Continue reading Reading, Raining & Writing
An Update, Complete with a New Focus
Sticking to a defined purpose for a blog is a tough thing to do, I've found. This one has run the gamut from corporate life rants/advice to movie reviews. I've recently been inspired by a couple of friends to put my blogging beret back on and give it another shot. This time around, I'm going … Continue reading An Update, Complete with a New Focus
