Okay, I went this past weekend to see "2012." Go ahead and get your laughs out now. Hey, how could I resist the delicious man-candy triumvirate of John Cusack, Chiwetel Ejiofor, AND Oliver Platt? Sure, you've got to suspend disbelief like it's going out of style and slow your brain function to the point where you're almost in danger of ( Read more... )

Okay, I finally saw "Observe And Report." And unlike, well, a lot of people, I loved it. Really loved it. But not so much because Seth Rogen is hot (although he is) and not so much because Ronnie Barnhardt is an awesome character we should all emulate (because he is not) but because--and I believe this is why it has been so vilified--it tells a ( Read more... )

Aw, dammit!

Look, I know there's no excuse for how behind I am in my House-viewing (last I heard, Cuddy didn't get to adopt that baby) but reading an Earthlink news story this morning and getting a gargantuan spoiler for this week's episode?

So not cool.

*sigh* Sometimes you forget that not everyone warns for spoilers.

To all "24" fans on my flist, I have a recommendation: 24thecomicstrip, written and drawn by a lovely and talented capper friend of mine.

Hell, I don't even watch "24" and I think it's funny. Plus, the icons are cute and gankable. So go, read, enjoy, and let him know Nyssa sent you. ^_~

I woke up feeling amazing this morning (Wednesday morning), just really, really good. Chaired a parent meeting at the preschool, did a little grocery shopping.

And, although you probably hate the word, here's a shout-out to that_cat_guy: I dug out my copy of They Might Be Giants' album Flood and listened to it all morning, barreling down the street in my car ( Read more... )

Icon meme seen on muliebrityComment and I'll pick seven of your icons, and then you will explain why you love/are using the icon (who doesn't love talking about their icons, seriously) and then post your explanation/this meme in your journal for other people to squee about their icons, and basically it will be a huge squeefest of love and 100x100 square ( Read more... )

I've been so busy faxing, e-mailing, and even snail-mailing (!) resumes like mad and stressing out over family finances that I've neglected to answer a few memes sent my way, so here goes.

First, from kcobweb, a friendslist meme:

I can't help myself; I love the interview meme. So I got three of my awesome LJ peeps to ask me questions. Also, I am willing to interview all who wish it, so feel free to ask ( Read more... )

I'll have yuletide recs later after I've slept, but right now there's this. It was so good I couldn't resist.

Inspired by kcobweb, I'll be posting mini-reviews of the books I've been reading. Since I've been doing all my browsing lately at the temple's library, right now they're going to be for Jewish-themed books. They're not the Great Jewish Books, exactly, but they're pretty darn good.

The first book I've chosen to review is Rich Cohen's Tough Jews: Fathers ( Read more... )
