For Christmas this year my mom got my sister and I “green gifts.” Because she knows Chelsea and I embrace the green movement fervently, this seemed to be her attempt to show that she pays attention to us when we talk. I don’t blame her, most of the time my sister only talks about drinking […]
This movie struck the right tone for Dan and I because we were in fact the best type of people to see it. Look, we’re both guys who were raised primarily by TV in the ’80s. Tom & Jerry, GI Joe, Transformers (not the over-the-top, unrecognizable Michael Bay stuff, the real thing), The Muppets and […]
For those of you who have still missed the boat on The Office, shame on you. If you were not able to catch last week’s The Duel episode, it was a classic. Two totally ludicrous characters, Andy and Dwight, fighting over the love of Angela, perhaps the single strongest example of a wet rag if […]
Good timing perhaps, but today is MLK Day, and our new leader of the free world made repeated pitches to Americans to do something of service for those less fortunate or for the better good of the nation/world. Thinking that our participation in a birthday pub crawl for Maggie was not going to cut it […]
Hey, wha … wha … where am I? You stay classy, Dick(head) Cheney. Yes, that was him dozing off less than 10 minutes into W’s farewell address to the nation. Not the Insomniac’s Society of America, the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Good lord, just go away. […]
Yeah, that picture is of a boat full of sushi. A boat. Of sushi. The wife and I met two former colleagues of hers (from her law firm days) at our go-to neighborhood sushi restaurant. Everyone was craving sushi, and while I have seen the gigantic containers they give you the sushi in, I always […]
To call Wall-E a love story would be too trite. To say it’s an environmental wake-up call to a generation of young viewers and their parents would place undue burdens on it. But to ignore that both of these themes resonate and are so strong and breath-takingly done would be to ignore what makes Wall-E […]
So riding the Metro in DC is a simple task, really. Got on the train, ride the train, get off the train. Sure, the steps in between about getting farecards and such and knowing the map may be difficult for first-timers, but I’m really focusing in here on the basic understanding of the purpose and […]
Not sure if you pay attention to much outside your own area, but I do. And one thing I am getting real tired of is Lou Dobbs and all his asswipe cronies griping about how workers, both legal and illegal, are somehow ruining our country. Yeah, that lady cleaning your apartment is killing the fabric […]
Decades I have been a loyal Mac user. For better or worse, I have stuck with them. I first used a Mac in the 5th grade at St. Raphael, where I went to school. Ever since, they had me at hello. I never had much luck with Windows-based machines. Macs have always been more intuitive […]
