My Surprise 2012 Calendar

Back in the summer the wife and I finally found a Chinese takeout restaurant that made good-tasting food and delivered quickly. It’s not something to take for granted in DC or any major metropolitan city for that matter. They offer a nice range of food with excellent prices, and the best part is that you […]

What I’ve Read (sorta): The Affair

I didn’t get a chance to read Lee Child’s new Jack Reacher novel before the annual trek back to Kentucky, so I figured it’d make a great book on tape to bide the time through the mountains as we made our way home for the holidays. Typically we’ve ended up listening to books we don’t […]

Friday Funnies

A bonus Friday Funnies for you. Because it’s Christmas, and if Clark W. Griswold is who I can aspire to be as a grown-up, life will at least be full of adventure, and that ain’t so bad. […]

Friday Funnies

Suddenly it seems that 30 Rock is on every channel at night, where you can flip from 6-11 p.m. and chances are strong you’ll be able to find the show somewhere. I think it’s replaced Law & Order as the show everyone can’t avoid, and I couldn’t be happier. It’s a genius show. This episode […]

Idiot of the Day

When I was back in Florida for my friend Molly’s wedding, there were lots of good memories and reminders that I got about the things I liked about my time in the sunshine state. But naturally there were other reminders, once you looked past the warm weather and endless golf courses, of the bad things […]

Game On: Week of Dec. 16

My recent column reviewing Aliens: Infestation and Tekken: Hybrid. Surprised how many papers published this one, since I thought the previous week was a better pairing of consumer-friendly games, but this column got picked up by a slew of papers, but I’ll continue to give the tip of the hat to the Ventura County Star […]

What I’ve Read: Inside of a Dog

As a big fan of dogs, my two in particular of course, it was about time that I read a book about dogs. Yes, I did read ” The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time” but I thought it completely sucked, so I’m acting like that book never happened. Instead, being the […]

Friday Funnies

Not much to laugh about this week, but I’m dedicated to bringing you laughs even when my life lacks them. This week, it’s a short clip from Park and Rec, where my worlds collided. Here was one of my favorite comedy shows doing a riff on the kind of law the wife does for the […]

Game On: Week of Dec. 9

My recent column reviewing Mario Kart 7 and Super Mario 3D Land. Thanks to North Jersey for publishing. I got emails from people in Colorado and Texas who read my column in their respective states, but I can’t find links. Damn Interwebs. […]

Friday Funnies

A belated Friday Funnies for you (“being sick” can go to hell). Here’s another good one from the movie fail department. The backstory here is that Bruce Lee died before they finished making this movie, so what the producers and director “thought” decided as a solution was to use B-roll, lookalikes and in this case, […]
