The wedding was this past weekend. It was a lovely ceremony and the reception was a lot of fun.I was most impressed with the groom's ability to refrain from wiping his brow. We were in this wooded outdoor area with lots of shade, but Brian and Kristy ended up being right in the one patch of sunlight.

You've probably heard something about this.

With the recent findings of Shiite on Sunni torture and mistreatment, why not divide the country in three?

I'm watching her now in that TNT western mini-series (Into the West?) and she's still pretty cute. Not Josie and the Pussycats cute, but cute.

If you don't have a Netflix account, you really owe it to yourself (and to me) to start one. You almost always have something new to watch at home.

It was pretty cool, but I missed seeing some of the Suicide Girls there. I was kind of bummed about that. Red Bull was one of the sponsors so, since there was nothing else to drink, I had one.

There isn't as much long-term story. In fact, it's turning more and more into individual episodes. Last night, for example, started out with a lead coming out of nowhere (a terrorist using the wrong credit card at the gas station-----oh, and to all you Jersey people, that's what it looks like when you have to pump yourMichaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01178644243716090190noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512819.post-1113412819958759222005-04-13T10:15:00.000-07:002005-04-13T10:20:19.960-07:00I have to say that I was very disappointed in this week's 24 . . . especially after last week's explosive episode. I mean, the terrorists get ahold of the fucking football and then they leave it behind. They're like, "Finally, we have control of most of the world's nuclear weapons! Let's not use them, let's just take what we need to, MAYBE, control a couple of them!"

Haven't we gotten to the point that it should be a little more sophisticated than it is? I mean, it's always somebody smiling. No matter what the product they're trying to sell, it shows a photo, usually shoulders up, of a person smiling. In fact, sometimes they use the same stock photos for different products.

Their marketing plan focuses on appealing to men who (a) love to eat big, disgusting-looking burgers and (b) cannot seem to take care of themselves. Every few months they come out with a new burger or at least a new variation on a theme. I'm not exactly certain what the newest burger is, but its commercial is so disturbing that I need to find outMichaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01178644243716090190noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512819.post-1110143185405716552005-03-06T12:55:00.000-08:002005-03-06T13:06:25.406-08:00Torque is my new favorite movie. I had a feeling it was going to be amazing, but I had no idea. Some of the shit that they do on motorcycles is just ridiculous. Like, Ice Cube and the main character, Ford, were fighting/racing and they end up on this desert (which, oddly enough, was adjacent to a jungle) and a train is coming down the track. You think they're just going to race the train, right?

What have we learned?1. Womyn can't juggle a family and a career. Driscoll's schizophrenic daughter, after an hour of quiet time, comes back with a vengence. She resists her sedative (um, okay) and calls Driscoll every seven minutes.

If there is some mention of me coming into money, then I will believe horoscopes for the rest of my life. First, I got this completely unexpected bonus at work. Then I got my tax return.

Well, of course it is, but you heard it all here first. Who was the first cameo? Tony! Heard it here first! I have to say that it was a bit odd for him to be described as "the only person I [Jack] can trust." I mean, didn't Tony sell Jack . . . and his country out for Michelle last season?

Jack upped the body count to 15, if I'm not mistaken. (I was distracted by Matty and Anne-Marie's cute new puppies, though, so I may be off.) No one picked the terrorist guy holding Secretary Heller hostage as the next to die Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01178644243716090190noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512819.post-1106347029268920242005-01-21T14:34:00.000-08:002005-01-21T14:37:09.266-08:00So it turns out that Point Pleasant does, in fact, take place in New Jersey. I still say that those aerial shots are from someplace else. Regardless, I couldn't stand to watch more than fifteen minutes of it.

That's what we're calling her since "retarded" really doesn't describe what's wrong with her. Let me just say that I love this storyline. It's so ridiculous that I crack up every time I hear about it. Last night's scene between Driscoll and her daughter was so actorly, so not 24, that it seemed almost like a different show.

1. Terrorist dude was the next to die. No winners on that pool. We'll keep it going until someone wins. I loved the terrorist code for "I'm about to kill myself for the cause." If you missed it, the terrorists said, "Allah Akbar" as their way of signing off.
2. If you taped the episode, go watch it again, especially Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01178644243716090190noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512819.post-1105718285000935972005-01-14T07:51:00.000-08:002005-01-14T07:58:05.000-08:00The rest of the week seems so empty without 24. What sublime torture, to have to wait until Monday for another dose of sweet terrorist-fueled action. The betting pool has taken off. My favorite bet so far is Mike's, betting that George Mason will show up in a dream sequence. It's an outside shot, but what an amazing coup if he's right.

My soul burns with glee. The promos promised a twist so shocking that I wouldn't believe it. I'm not exactly certain what it was. The terrorist mom poisoning the American girl, Debbie? Jack getting arrested? Who knows?

God I'm sick of new years. Why can't we just have one really long year? It's like, every January I party my ass off, then pay some lip service to making new year's resolutions, and within a month everything's exactly the same as it was last year. The hardest part is changing the year on my checks.

The worst is that the entire film, I'm sitting there thinking, "Just wait until the end, buddy, then all this stupidity willMichaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01178644243716090190noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512819.post-1103924765972688952004-12-24T13:44:00.000-08:002004-12-24T13:46:05.973-08:00I saw that movie Soul Plane the other day. I really shouldn't call it a "movie," though. Film? Piece de cinema? I don't think they quite capture how important and earth-shattering Soul Plane was. I think it's set the bar so high that it should be called God's jizz.

One time, I got there and no one was answering their phone. I had to hang out in Penn Station for a few hours before I could get ahold of anyone. Or there was the time BB and I couldn't find each other for an hour. Or how about the time I ended up waiting for the train at 5 am, sharing some potato chips and a 40 with a homelessMichaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01178644243716090190noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512819.post-1102521389622053662004-12-08T07:49:00.000-08:002004-12-08T07:56:29.623-08:00This time I've got a witness so fuck all of you who didn't believe me the last time I saw Jack Bauer (see my notes from my trip to Amsterdam)! The other night I was driving down Hollywood Boulevard with Brian. At some club near the King King (it could have been the King King, but they were using the street entrance instead of the parking lot), we saw the release party for the season 3 DVD of 24.

My ticket cost just under $400 and I have to fly out of Ontario. No, not the one in Canada, but considering what a pain in the butt it is to get there, it might as well be.

Of all the people to bring back, Chloe?! Are you kidding me?

I'm an undecided voter. As much as I don't want Bush to be president again, I don't feel like I want to vote for Kerry. He kind of sucks, doesn't he? I mean, he supports a lot of the same shit Bush does, but he's not as much of a dick. He's for the Patriot Act. He doesn't have the nuts to come out and say that the war in Iraq is bullshit.

I'm going to give my students extra credit points for having school spirit. It's part of my plan to increase fire by 42% and spirit by 73%.
The Homecoming rally was highly irregular. They go to announce the Homecoming king, and, what's this!? TWO envelopes? TWO kings!?

In the middle of Homecoming, it started pouring. I ran out to put the top up and this cop comes over to help me. I'm pretty grateful because it's not easy to do by yourself, especially when you're trying to not get shit all over your suit. The cop was like, "Here's some light for you."

No, I haven't. Guess that's what happens when you get a real job. Yeah, teaching's been rough. At least two students have already complained about what a shitty teacher I am. And I don't blame them. I think I'm going to start doing coke in the faculty lounge one day soon. Mikey needs to get fired!

Between four and eight in the afternoon, everything closes so that people can take a nap. Isn't that awesome? I guess a lot of Americans hate that because they can't find any restaurants or stores open at that time.

We used to be able to handle two straight nights of hard drinking. I mean, we put the drinks down! We're not THAT old! But the following mornings were rough. Sunday we had planned to take a day trip. We were thinking somewhere further off than the next town over, but they were having a Diego Rivera exhibit there.

The timeless works of Van Gogh? Nope. The world's third largest gothic cathedral? No way. The masterpieces of the Prado? Try again.

This time I'm clear about what the control button is and why it does not work like a control button is supposed to.

It was witty, downright funny at parts, insightful, and, well, dammit, it was the best thing I've ever written.

Or at least it is in my apartment. That really sucks. It's so damn hot in my apartment, but what can I do? Leave? Leaving requires money. And I don't have any money. So I have to sweat my fucking nuts off or break the bank. What a fucking shitty situation.

It was pretty good, I thought. Not great, just good. Nonetheless, it gave me some great ideas on how I can finally have a three-way with the Bush twins. The story revolves around this jury selection consultant, Fitch, played by Gene Hackman. He's hired by a consortium of gun manufacturers to help select a jury for a wrongful-death civil suit brought by the wife Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01178644243716090190noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512819.post-1089652708057566882004-07-12T10:13:00.000-07:002004-07-12T10:18:28.056-07:00Yesterday someone rear ended my beautiful new Jeep. It really pissed me off at first. I was like, "You fucked up my beautiful new Jeep!" Then I pulled over and the Honda Civic behind me stopped. I got out to survey the damage and I was like, "Oh, it was a hot chick who hit me." My attitude immediately went from "I'm going to tear you a new asshole" to "Are you sure you're okay?"

You should go see it, loser. Oddly enough, a lot of the trailer footage was not even in the movie. Remember when he's at the party and someone tells him some sob story and he says, "Fantastic"?

I'm not the biggest Metallica fan, but it was free and I wanted to get out of the house. It was pretty good, as far as a doc about a band I'm not too into can be. Most of it was about the making of their last album, which seems to have taken nearly two years.
