Effed-Up Friday

My Friday was total crap. I just have to vent about it for a moment. First, I spent the entire day reading e-mails from my friends in my fantasy football league, who decided it was time to question my manhood for about 8 straight hours. It was brutal. I'm not...

What I’ve Watched: Even Money

I cannot help the fact that I love to gamble. I just do. It's part of who I am. Am I clearing out the family bank account and leveraging it all on some DIII school that may or may not have 24+ rebounds in a game? No. I just like...

The Olympics Might Be Screwed

So a couple days ago Kelly wrote his personal breakdown of how he could best survive and beat back the pissed off guys dressed like Oakland Raiders fans if the world went all Mad Max on him.Well based on this trailer for the new Roland Emmerich movie, 2012, Kelly better...

The Missing Pieces

I think we are onto something here, folks. The deleted scenes are almost as good as the parts they show, and the show is already damn funny. I am now questioning my appreciation of beets.

What I’ve Watched: Paranoid Park

I really dig skateboarding. It's damn cool, in fact. I tried getting good at it when I was a teenager, but I'll be honest in saying that I didn't give it 100%. Hell, I probably gave it about 20%, and that won't get you anywhere but basic olleys and injuries....

Only One Macchio

1984. Not the 1984 or George Orwell. No, this was the 1984 of this movies for me. There were several movies that year I remember distinctly remember seeing. Don't know why it was that year, but for some reason the age of 7 was when I started committed movies to...

A Quick Look Back

On Saturday night a few of us gathered to eat some food and hang out, and in the course of the evening we ended up watching the SNL Presidential Bash, where clips of political skits were shown from season's past. This got me to thinking about a great clip from...

So Long, BVD Boy

Some of you may recall this story from earlier in October in this space. It was a warm and fuzzy tale of a guy in an office just trying to use the restroom, and instead getting a full-on show of male semi-nudity with little regard for office environment. It is...

Holy Creep Out, It’s Catman

My buddy Kelly lives down in Dupont Circle, and while it's a great condo that he has lived in for the last seven or so years, the real special treat of the apartment is the front porch.You see, his building started taking care of this stray black cat. Sounds nice,...

Yes We Did!

I'll keep this short. I'm stunned into something many I know would not think possible from me: a lack of speech.I'm so overwhelmed with happiness and joy and celebration that I am at a loss for words. This country is ready and has now said it is ready for a...

Monsters Vs. Aliens

OK, I have a little bit of a soft-spot for animated movies. Not all of them mind you (Toy Story, Monsters, Inc., Care Bears, and many others I cannot stand), but I'd be a lying fool if I said I didn't have some that I truly enjoy watching. The Incredibles,...

Creepy And Cool All Over

I'll get half-sappy for a moment. One of my big mentors (though he never really knew it) is my buddy Bill. He's a bigshot photog on Capitol Hill. I knew a lot of the photographers at the newspapers I worked at, but Bill and I were cool with the same...
