Instead of science, we believe in CRAZY hocus pocus. It's like Kansas.

Everyone must watch "Futurama: Bender's Game." It's amazing.

I don't post on here much. I've been busy.

Last week:
Kristen returned from Utah :)
The Steelers are Super Bowl bound! (and I've been darkhorsing AZ as a playoff contender for 2 seasons now, but even I never thought they'd make it to the SB)
Kristen and I are going to Disneyworld in February!
NO MORE BUSH! Don't let the door hit you where evolution split you.
Obama is officially in charge. Happy days are here again.
Kristen and I went to the Ertegun Jazz Hall of Fame and NYPL for the Perf. Arts' exhibit, "Curtain Call" about female theatrical designers. I highly recommend both (and both are free). The Jazz HoF is a small installation at "Jazz @ Lincoln Center" in the Time Warner Center on Columbus Circle, and the NY Public Library for the Perf. Arts is at Lincoln Center (right by the box office).
LOST. is. BACK.
I have job possibilities in the works, and applied for unemployment, so sooner or later I'm getting some money.
Went up to Worcester to hit up Stratford's birthday party with Kristen. Got to see Martin, Raj, Billy, Chrysten, Mitch, Robo, Katie, and obviously, Stratford. Played some beer poing, got hammered. Good times.

And if I haven't recommended "The Wackness" yet, go see it NOW. It just came out on DVD, and it is great. Ben Kingsley is brilliant, the soundtrack is awesome, and the story is great. Chuck and I watched it 2 nights in a row (we had to show the girls). He's considering buying it. It's a great movie.

I also recommend "The Express." I still can't decide if I love the movie for it's Syracusery or because it's a great sports film. But West Virginia's portrayal was pretty insulting.

First Insomnia of the New Year

I cannot sleep. Woohoo. Sleep is still out of whack because of New Year's.
Kristen and I were both feeling under the weather (my cold, her ankle) and it was bitter cold, and a variety of other reasons led us to do a relaxing evening in. We couldn't, however, pass up "Shakespearean Who's On First" at Morristown's First Night. Starring the comic perfection that is Jay Liebowitz and the equally incomparable James Michael Reilly, and written by Jay, Jason King Jones and Mr. David Foubert, it reimagines Abbot and Costello's classic routine as Shakespearean vaudeville and other fun with Elizabethan baseball in a 20-30 minute routine. After watching the hilarity and wishing Jay a happy new year, we headed back to my place for movies and champagne.

Took Kristen to Newark at 5am for her flight back to Utah, then slept til the afternoon. My schedule is all wonky.
Now I can't sleep.
This needs to stop.

Movies I've seen in the past few days I recommend: Hancock, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Shoot 'Em Up (fuckin' dig it!), Futurama: Bender's Big Score
Movies I've see in the past few days I'm glad I only spent $1 on: Balls of Fury (funny, but not worth more than a Redbox rental at MOST)
Movies I've seen in the past few days that I thoroughly enjoyed and would recommend to most people: Miami Vice (It's exactly what I hoped for except for Colin Farell. I like him usually, but wasn't a big fan of him as Crockett, and the seduction was rather sudden, but otherwise a quality flick.
