LJ friends, your prodigal son has returned. As most of you know, I've been living back at home for nearly a year due to money concerns and such, and as a result I've been sort of dead to the world. The four-hour round trip commute doesn't do much for my desire to drive back to the DC Metro area...but I digress. I miss this LJ, not to mention the ( Read more... )

Two for the price of one over at Crunchable this week - I wrote a feature article about all the shitty stuff that happened in pro sports in 2007, and a Snackable piece about how much I suck at seeing movies. Check it out!

In other news, I made a rare weeknight appearance outside of my own apartment Monday night. Heather and Mel were hosting a game ( Read more... )

...Best Man, that is.

That's right, Boothe has asked me to be his best man for his upcoming wedding to Molly (

I really think that I enjoy Halloween more and more each year. As the rest of the world gets more tedious and frustrating, we all need a night or two to gorge ourselves on alcohol and candy and to scrap together some ingenious and silly disguises. Don't you think? Anycrap, recently had the chance to partake in some holiday revelry with the ol' gang ( Read more... )

-Hefner finally showed me Theatre of Blood. Good God, is that a fantastically fun movie. To wit:

George Maxwell: You... It's you! But you're dead!
Edward Lionheart: No. Another critical miscalculation on your part. I am well. It is you who are dead.

If you have any doubts, just imagine Vincent Price disguising himself as "Butch", a gay hairdresser ( Read more... )

It seems like I'd never update this LJ if I weren't plugging the writing I do elsewhere!  New Snackable up over at Crunchable - it's a more in depth look at my reaction to the razing of Tawes Theatre.  Read it and come back, because the rest of this entry flows forth from it.

You read it yet?

How about now?

Okay.  For whatever reason, this seems to be ( Read more... )

Well, my first post-Coriolanus weekend was an eventful, and gloriously long, one.

Friday I took a half-day and met up with Mikey (marred82) and Julianne (browneydgirl8) for a long-overdue trip to Chestertown. We gaped in horror at the half-demolished remains of the Gibson Fine Arts Building and Tawes Theatre, which won't be completely refurbished for another two years ( Read more... )

 For those of you who actually enjoy reading my scattered musings and anecdotes, I'm sorry that updates have been scarcer of late.  I'm throwing myself more fully into my website project, and something else has to suffer.  But I'm still bringing the content at Crunchable, where I've written today's "Snackable" entry.  It's about a 1940's major ( Read more... )

And by "it", I mean "another thought-provoking essay from yours truly!" My latest screed is up on Crunchable. It's about Mike Judge's Idiocracy, and whether or not we're doomed to devolve into a society of shuffling imbeciles.

Not much else to say. Coriolanus kicked some major ass last weekend, and now that I seem to have endured the worst of what ( Read more... )
