I generally don’t like to look too much into the details about my food and drink. I know things aren’t always pretty or simple so I just accept those kinds of things and enjoy what I enjoy. But when I saw the book Froth: The Science of Beer I knew I had to suspend that […]
The big stars have collected their trophies, but we still have some fun to take care of. Let’s take a look at some awards that might not easily come to mind, but are just as important. Best Surprise: Paul Rudd puking all over Jon Favreau in “I Love You, Man.” Far too often, you see […]
Now that the pesky business of The Oscars has concluded, we can get down to the real awards: The Brians. For the eighth straight year, I will dole out awards based on the movies I saw in the theatre the previous year. This year, 11 films made the grade. I take my film watching seriously. […]
Well, the movie world is still talking about the Oscars from over the weekend. Apparently, James Cameron is still in a corner crying. Good. I have something better to focus on. The Brians. Since 2003, I have given awards to the best performances from movies I have seen in the theater the previous year. Check […]
I just wanted to get home. I didn’t have any crazy expectations. Fortune let me down, however. The week after all the snow fell, my commute to Baltimore got a little more cumbersome than usual. First of all, some roads still had snow covering part of the travel lanes. That really didn’t bother me too […]
I already vented about the whole Olympics situation. I don’t intend to re-hash every thing because I think I have accepted the fact that things probably won’t change. First off, the ratings kicked ass. Most people really got into the Games and that’s all NBC wants. They don’t see a need for a creative solution […]
When you watch competitions like the Olympics, you really can’t expect to see a little bit of yourself in the athletes. The closest I have ever gotten was watching a guy who knocked the snot out of me in a high school wrestling tournament win bronze 15 years later in Sydney. Usually, we watch people […]
I will knock out a few post-Olympic posts today to wrap up the Games. I did not need any more reasons to hate Sidney Crosby. I think he’s an entitled little prima donna punk who plays for a team I have enjoyed loathing for a good 20-some years now. Then he had to go score […]
I truly intended to write more about the Olympics, but work and some sinus problems kinda, sorta got in the way. I ended up crashing early a bunch this past week, but caught up with the action I cared about on my Tivo. The last time I wrote about the Games, I professed my new-found […]
We had one of those special opportunities to go see a movie over Valentine’s Day weekend. I really looked forward to sitting down and enjoying a pleasant little film. In the end, that did happen. However, I feel like my ADD got in the way a little bit. I blame it on the much-worse ADD […]
