Ratatouille

Given the content of the previous post, I can't figure out why I rented the DVD, Ratatouille. It's a Pixar animation about a rat that finds his way from the countryside to the City of Lights and becomes--get this--a chef…
4th of July

Today is the 232nd year of our nation, the 232nd year since the signing of the Declaration of Independence. I kinda pre-celebrated by watching the HBO special John Adams. I don't get HBO but it went to DVD a couple of we…
Spring Break is over :(

Click here for entry 2004.03.20 Spring Break: the last day... Note: The magic number is approaching faster than I have any legitimate reason to expect. Let me know if its you, even the Vixen--even though she called me …
Spring Break: Last day

Click here for entry 2004.03.20 Spring Break: the last day... Note: I have recovered from being upset about the wiseguy. If you still come here and are willing to admit it like a man/woman, then do so. But personally I…

Last Samurai (cont'd): Romancing the Past...

(...or Another Long Ass Entry) Visually, The Last Samurai was done realistically and beautifully as I mentioned yesterday. However, there were some minor flaws and one major one for me. As a movie, it was great. As a st…
Looking forward...

As I settle into the new year, I brace myself for the challenges ahead. The previous year ended on a rather uneasy note, and I am faced with many questions. I suppose that things would be much better if I just invest the…
Pleasantville

I guess I'm a dork. I've had a couple of comments on the music, "I Confess" by the English Beat. It may not sound so "cool" to some, but that's okay. This is actually one of my favorite songs. And I love Rankin' Roger's …
