Living In 2010

A friend sent this to me and it made me laugh. Maybe it will do the same for you. Maybe not. But you’ve already read this far, so you might as well find out.
You know you are living in 2010 when…
1. You accidentally enter your password on the microwave.
2. You haven’t played solitaire with real [...]

I Saw Three Movies. Did You?

Over the extended holiday period, I managed to see three new movies in the theater. That’s a lot for me, although I love going. Here’s what I saw: Sherlock Holmes, Up In The Air, and Youth In Revolt. Did you see any of these? If so, leave me a comment and let me know what [...]

Well, The Video Store Had A Big Sale

That’s what happened. I didn’t plan it but these things happen. There we were enjoying the all-you-can-eat Indian food buffet lunch at Curry Corner. Harmless enough, and tasty too. But then we waddled out the door and [poof] there was the video store nearby with a big ole ”Five DVDs For $20″ sign. We were powerless. [...]

Pictures! Now! 2009 Seattle And Bumbershoot

It’s true! After only a couple months, I finally posted some pictures from our 2009 Seattle trip! We attended the Bumbershoot Music and Arts Festival, of course, and did some other fun stuff around our second-favorite city too. Larry and Robin (friends) were with us most of the trip and Mama O and her friends [...]

Have You Read This Book? – Take 7

If you have not read any of Woody’s books, you might be surprised. He’s very smart and very literate, especially so within this latest effort. Yes, you have to pay attention and he uses big words. But don’t panic! He uses them for good. Actually, he uses them for humor, which is pretty much the same [...]

It’s A Gift From W.C. Fields

As I mentioned earlier today, I had a tooth pulled yesterday, so today is a ”sit around and relax to feel better” day. And what better way to feel better than with some classic comedy. This one streches w-a-y back to 1934, long before I was born. But a classic is a classic.
W.C.Fields made a series [...]

Go, The Movie. Have You Seen It?

I had a tooth pulled yesterday. This has nothing to do with the movie “Go”. Well, a little maybe. After the oral surgery yesterday I thought I might be a little under the weather for a while, so I took today off. Oh, I’m doing ok, thanks.
A friend had given us a copy of the DVD [...]

We recently went to Seattle for a week, as we have done over Labor Day for the last nine or so years. The big attraction is the Bumbershoot Music and Arts Festival. It’s a three day festival with entertainment on about 15 stages, plus a [...]

Bumbershoot – You’re Telling Me!

Earlier this month I asked for input about which artists (music and otherwise) I should see at this year’s Bumbershoot Music and Arts Festival. I also listed some of the artists that I am thinking of seeing. Well, Mama O posted her suggestions online on the blog, but millions of you a bunch of you wrote me via email. So, here [...]

(500) Days Of Summer

 I won free passes to see a preview of a new movie called (500) Days Of Summer. I had read a couple pretty positive reviews and was hoping that it would be as good as I was hoping. Well, stevenology, hope no more because it was really, really good. This was one of the most enjoyable movies [...]

Small Time Scoop Double Feature

It was a Friday night video double feature here at the old homestead. I watched two (more or less) recent Woody Allen films. I had seen both before but not for quite a while. And of course, with his films you can watch them many times and still enjoy them.
First up was “Small Time Crooks” [...]
