Best of 2008: Movies.

I’ve seen four movies since being back in the city after Christmas.  The Spirit, Slumdog Millionaire, The Wrestler, and Benjamin Button. Sorry, I refuse to type out the whole name for that snooze fest.  Having seen all of these movies, I’m still convinced that they don’t hold a candle to WALL-E and The Dark Knight.  Those two [...]

Best of 2008: Comics.

 
This was a pretty down year for comics, to be honest. Both company’s events spin on the side of total boredom to mind-blowing weirdness to the point its unclear exactly what is going on.  Though what is funny is Secret Invasion seemed to try so damn hard, really hard, to make it very clear what [...]

Best of 2008: Books.

Note.
For my “Best of…” series, it should be said that the lists are simply NOT the best overall in each category [comics, movies, tv, books or music] but the best things I read, watched or listened to in the designated year.

This morning, I stepped out to get my coffee and to buy a New York Times, this is one of those times where you buy the paper with full indication of framing it and keeping it preserved for your children, and I guess this post is supposed to serve that purpose [...]

Birthday horoscope

Okay, so I lied, and said I wouldn’t be blogging too much, but I felt like this was something I just had to put here in my online home, as a kind of reminder to myself.
David,
Put the past behind you, and try to have some fun. If you are involved in a serious relationship, put [...]

To the Class of 2008

I think I came pretty close to writing a commencement speech this weekend while I was in Florida for my brother’s graduation.
It came to me while on the flight down to Orlando, while listening to Moby’s tracks from the Southland Tales soundtrack and a baby girl named Abby playing on her Dad’s lap.  The music [...]
