Wedding Dance!
This past weekend I went to two weddings. The first wedding was for two friends of mine that I went to high school with, Carissa and D-Rob (short for Daniel Robert). Since Oz was a groomsman in the wedding, I had the inside scoop on what would go down during the ceremony: (Unfortunately, the video… Continue reading

I have something really embarrassing to admit . . .
. . . I like Pauly Shore movies. There, I said it. Berate me if you will, but it’s true. I should really say that I like all Pauly Shore movies made between the years 1992 and 1996. These include such gems as “Encino Man,” “Son in Law,” “In the Army Now” and “Bio-dome.” All… Continue reading

Baby shit: My trip to Baltimore, Part I
I’m sitting on the plane getting ready to take off for Baltimore for wedding number two this weekend. I highly suspect that the baby in front of me shat himself before boarding the plane and the parents were simply too lazy to change him. So now it smells like baby shit. Yay. Now there are… Continue reading

Every moment of the movie was filled with discomfort and awkwardness. Will I read this book… Continue reading

What I’m listening to
As I was listening to my Simon and Garfunkel radio station on Pandora, I came across a song by Paul Simon called “Peace like a river,” and it struck a chord within me. The sad, conflicted, lilting guitar combined with the interesting lyrics are captivating. It’s a sharp contrast to Paul’s normally happy, upbeat songs.… Continue reading

Celebrity Jeopardy
This is another classic Saturday Night Live clip. It features: Will Ferrell as Alex Trebek Darrell Hammond as Sean Connery Norm MacDonald as Burt Reynolds Jimmy Fallon as French Stewart (the guy from “Third Rock from the Sun”) I love that one of the Jeopardy categories is “Movies that start with the word ‘Jaws.’” Classic.
