Back from Florida.  I spent a day travelling to Florida (airports and all that), three days in Disney World with family (my father, Mike & Lizzie, Lizzie's parents) from early morning to late night, and travelled back today.  I was never a fan of Disney, not even as a kid, but most of it was adult-friendly.  It wasn't all Goofy and Donald, like I ( Read more... )

Thanks to the wonderful world of wi-fi, I now have the Internet on my PC again.  Glad to have TV and the 'net back.  I don't have cable but it's not too much of a big deal.  The only shows I watch on cable are "Mad Men" and, starting in 2010, "Caprica ( Read more... )

It's been a long time since I've updated here.  I moved out on July 3rd and I haven't had regular Internet since then.  Sure there's been my new cellphone but it's not the same thing.  I've been using Massasoit and Bridgewater to check the Internet.  Right now I'm typing from my old place ( Read more... )

Five years ago when Star Trek was just about ending, Battlestar Galactica swooped in to take its place. Now just as Battlestar Galactica’s ending, Star Trek is coming back. Ironic, yes, but maybe that’s the way it should be. Battlestar Galactica was intended to represent the post-9/11 era. Cylons were stand-ins for terrorists and they could be ( Read more... )

I wasn't going to say this until I definitely knew it was going to happen.  Within a month I'll finally be moving into my own place.

I wasn't sure if TDK was the best Batman movie or Batman Begins.  After re-watching The Dark Knight on Blu-Ray, I've decided it is indeed the best Batman movie.
