CSI: Uncovering a Conspiracy

Tuesday, May 31st, 2005

On the night that I saw Star Wars, the season finale of CSI aired. This is the episode directed by Quentin Tarrantino. I like CSI a lot, but I usually don't rush to see the next episode of CSI. However, I'm a big Tarrantino fan, so I was eagerly anticipating ...

I Can’t Escape A Late Night

Friday, May 27th, 2005

Last night was the sneak preview of the movie Serenity that I decided not to attend (Serenity Now!, Serenity Later!) because I value sleep over anything else. However, it seems that poker takes precedence over sleep. On Tuesday, I got an invite to a poker game. This is the ...

Sir, Yes, Sir

Thursday, May 26th, 2005

On Monday, my wife started a 3-week "boot camp" style exercise program. It's from 6am to 7:15am Monday through Friday. My wife gets up at 5:20am to get ready to go. I am extremely impressed. This is the woman who I used to have to literally drag out of bed ...

Blogger Dilemma

Wednesday, May 25th, 2005

For the most part, I like using Blogger. Most of my posts are just paragraphs of text, so I have Blogger convert my line breaks to tags automatically. However, when you are doing some HTML formatting (see Upcoming Fall Schedule for an example), it is a real pain to do with ...

Funny Sounds From My Son

Wednesday, May 25th, 2005

As of yesterday, my son is 15 months. He's not talking much yet. I'm not one of those parents that is concerned by his lack of talking. I don't think he's behind at all. He'll start talking when he's good and ready. My daughter was the same way. When my daughter ...

Home Project: Master Bathroom Shower

Wednesday, May 25th, 2005

Not too long after we moved into our house, I noticed that the tiles at the bottom of the shower wall looked like they were going to fall off soon. When I pressed on some of the tiles, they moved. I was not prepared to deal with this at the ...

A New Perspective on Return of the Jedi

Monday, May 23rd, 2005

On Friday night, I watched Return of the Jedi. I wanted to examine Luke and Darth Vader's interaction to see if my perspective changed a bit by what I saw in Episode III. And, I am surprised say, it has -- and probably for the better. In Jedi, Darth Vader ...

Star Wars: Episode III: Revenge of the Sith

Monday, May 23rd, 2005

I saw the new Star Wars movie on Thursday. I've been putting off writing anything about it because I'm not sure what to say. I enjoyed it and I will probably end up seeing it again sometime in the next few weeks. It really was a great movie. It was ...

Eyes Shut

Wednesday, May 18th, 2005

ABC announced its Fall schedule and Eyes isn't on it. I'm disappointed, but not surprised. Often times, good shows don't find an audience. I still think it would've been successful if they had put it on after Lost. I'm no network executive. They know best, right? It looks like Eyes was ...
