I’m on display for you to see.

Went to a Cardinal’s game. Got free 12th row tickets. Pretty great seats.

Also saw pmtoday sometime in there, they were pretty good even though they played maybe one song I wanted to see. I’ve been listening to the new A Great Big Pile of Leaves album and I fucking love it. I highly recommend it.

I ran over a tiny baby bunny in the back yard while mowing and then found three more. They are God Damned adorable, too bad I’m allergic to some of the cutest animals on the planet.

We also found out we are having a female. She will be named Penelope. Here’s a gross little picture of her. Continue reading ‘I’m unsure what makes man, but I’m lacking something evident.rgb’

I went to a special “Bring Your Dad to School to do Math” thing at Kiara’s school. It was actually fun. We laughed at a kid who spilled OJ on himself and had a good time.

Played a great prank on my parents. They totally fell for it. Had a girl go to their house with my sisters baby and say that it was my kid.

Which means my sister is home with her baby which is awesome! My first voluntary contact with an infant.

And she gave us her trampoline!

Kiara played her own “prank” on my dad and stole his tightie whities.

We went to Fairview for a night for Kiara’s B-Day and stayed in a hotel which means we had to test out the beds.

And the Easter Continue reading ‘Don’t sit next to me, I’m not the man I used to be.rgb’

Blew through the tax money with profound quickness. Bought a new bed, had carpet installed in two rooms, have to get new plumbing for outside the house, paid off the credit card, bought some new stuff for the house and that’s it. Gone like that. Pics soon, still working on decorating. (Curtains, walls, etc.)

If you aren’t watching the Ricky Gervais Show then you are missing out on some really funny banter.

My team won at the SCHS Booster trivia night. Some of that shit was hard but we managed to beat a table full of teachers and educated folk.

Watched Le Mepris(Contempt) this weekend for what will surely be the first of many times. What a great great film. I halfway enjoy Godard films before this one but wow, it just feels like every word spoken was pulled out of a relationship and not too mention the stuff about film making is just great. So, I go to see about buying the Criterion of it and of course it’s out of print and now Studio Canal has the rights to it? What the fuck, Criterion? Really starting to piss me off with all these teases. First you said it was gonna be a blu-ray just like Ran and then you yank them both and gay ass Studio Canal puts out shit ass versions of them… Thanks.

Stefanie is chugging along just fine if you are wondering. As it sits right now she is 15 weeks and barely starting to show. It’s a cute little pouch on her belly. Also, I have some videos of Kiara that I need to get around to editing to post for people as well.

Been getting a lot of e-mails from people who used to be members on the forum at PDF Screenplays. I have sent you all the same reply back that is copied below. I don’t have time to sit and chat with each and everyone of you so sorry to say but you get a lame ass reply but it’s mostly true.

I am planning on getting a ton of e-mails just like yours from the members of the site. Truth is, Continue reading ‘Am I wrong to assume every woman is just like you?rgb’

Not much going on.  Stefanie is pregnant.  Some vaginal probe ultrasound pic below. And then some other pics as well. Hope you are doing okay.

I’ve been extremely lucky this year to be able to buy all of the Criterion blu-ray releases. I don’t have even close to the entire collection on DVD but having all that are available on blu-ray is a pretty great feeling. I doubt I’ll be able to keep up with them though as they are increasing the releases to three a month now and those fuckers aren’t cheap! Here is my top picks out of the 28 that have been released so far.

Bottle Rocket
Wes Anderson’s first feature film and it has never looked better. Criterion really knows how to clean up a film and it seems like the Anderson releases are always the best from top to bottom. The packaging is top notch art by Wes’ brother and it includes a booklet like the notebook Owen Wilson’s character uses in the film to layout his life plan. Criterion made this film look perfect. It easily one of the best clean up jobs I have seen of any film on blu-ray. The crispness and texture just pops from the screen on this release and there really is no comparison to the DVD release that was out prior to this release.

For All Mankind
This is one that I really had no desire to watch when I saw it on the release schedule but boy did it change my mind. The subtlety of it all and the small touches that are used in this one make it more enjoyable than most documentaries that are made today. Being able to see how the astronauts act with each other on the moon is pretty amazing and the way the film is tied together make it pretty easy to watch.

The Man Who Fell to Earth
I had never had any interest or even knew what this film was about until this blu-ray came out. It’s a great little odd treasure of a film that I would recommend to anyone to watch. When you think David Bowie in a sci-fi film you think, Continue reading ‘My Favorite Criterion Blu-Rays of ‘09rgb’
