Game On: Week of May 13

My recent column reviewing Section 8: Prejudice and Conduit 2. Thanks to the Seattle Times for publishing.

My Sister, All Grown Up

Gotta hand it to my sister for pulling off a grown-up feat I have yet to do: buy her own car. She's made chemicals burst into flame, while I've created fire the old fashioned way. She's even gotten nearly fired from a job already in her young career, even if...

Friday Funnies

HBO or some movie channel started running Pootie Tang again, and the other night I caught it in its entirety and died laughing once more. It's such a perfect Chris Rock movie, and comes with a slew of actors from his then-HBO show and was written and directed by Louis...

Game On: Week of May 6

My recent column, reviewing MotorStorm Apocalypse and Mortal Kombat. Big thanks to the Seattle Times for publishing.

Idiot of the Day

It's Derby Day, which means besides horses, I have drinking on the brain. Of all the things I enjoyed about my trip to Ireland, naturally the copious amounts of drinking ranks high on the list. We averaged about 7-9 Guinness pints per day, which would have been higher had we...

Friday Funnies

Because idiots on DC trains abound. And drunkenness with the aid of friends equals hilarity.

I Love My Wife, But …

Hopefully this will not become a running series of posts, but I guess it all depends on the wife's actions, not my own.In this inaugural post, this is all about the wife's new routine in the kitchen. In something that can almost definitely be defined as life imitating art, the...

Trailer Love

A couple trailers to movies I am really looking forward to:X-Men: First ClassWhat can I say, I'm a geek for comic book movies. And though I'm still excited for Thor (despite the trailers that make it look campy without the self-recognition of camp) and also Green Lantern (trailer looks like...

Game On: Week of April 29

My recent column, where I reviewed Portal 2 and NASCAR 2011: The Game. Hat tip to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune and a newcomer, Colorado Daily, for publishing.

Getting Back in the Groove, v2

I had two goals for this year's running of the TKPK5K (the local 5K that is run just a few blocks from my house). 1) Survive and 2) Beat last year's time. You might think this an easy task but, you see, I had a big hindrance affecting both those...

Man Card Member, No. 404431

I can never say no to a grilling challenge. I will freak out during all the prep and cooking, but when it comes out good I will sigh a huge sigh of relief and then typically relish in my victory over the food. And then I also devour it like...

Idiot of the Day

When Kelly and I went and saw The Pains of Being Pure at Heart in concert a few weeks back, we got there early enough to check out the opening act. I don't remember the band's name off the top of my head, nor am I going to hunt it...
