We watched Talladega Nights Sunday evening and were pleased, at least, that we chose to pay the reduced matinee price. Maybe I’ve outgrown the comedic pratfall and slapstick routines of Larry, Moe, and Curly, but I’d like to think that Talladega Nights just wasn’t that funny. My wife and I decided that it was probably… Continue reading Talladega Nights

Monster House, A Review
We took Balthazar to see “Monster House” this past weekend. He really enjoys watching movies, so when there’s something appropriate on for his attention span, we love to take him. This time was a little different. He’s been watching the previews on TV and specifically requested “Monster House.” We were so impressed that he made… Continue reading Monster House, A Review
Medieval Punishments
My mom, out on the farm, has resurrected an ancient form of punishment to present to her dogs. One of her dogs, a young Great Pyrenees, has learned to kill the chickens. This is generally an unforgivable act, but one that she feels is accounted for by her rambunctious youth. However, the puppy has recently… Continue reading Medieval Punishments

The models are made from human cadavers, and then preserved using… Continue reading BODIES, The Exhibition (Atlanta)

I’m still not exactly sure what the whole deal was, but I know that it had a… Continue reading Star Wars at Lakeshore
Omega
Due to a privacy/confidentiality constraint, I’m not at liberty to discuss an event that occurred over the weekend. I will relate, however, a personal story. When I was 10, my brother took his own life. Henning, my brother, led a life directly opposite that of mine. That is, he was emotionally troubled and generally angry.… Continue reading Omega

Flak Magazine: Aqua Teen Hunger Force: The Interview, 09-22-03
‘Just Bring ’em In From Space’ An Interview With the Creators of Aqua Teen Hunger Force By James Norton As genres go, ‘anthropomorphic food’ has a fairly lousy track record. What’s meant to be cute and whimsical typically turns out to be a mix of square and spooky. There’s nothing particularly fun about McDonald’s existentially… Continue reading Flak Magazine: Aqua Teen Hunger Force: The Interview, 09-22-03
