Academy Award Winners’ Movie Posters (The Illustrated History of Movies Through Posters Series; Vol. 3))
by Bruce Hershenson

This was obviously a quick read, but in the spirit of my goal to watch all the Academy Award Best Picture winners, this illustrated history was interesting. I’m also an amateur movie poster collector so this appealed to me [...]

Harry Connick, Jr. has two new CD’s out today. I have them both at work with me now. They are superb big band albums. Harry’s talent for arranging never ceases to amaze. All of the members of the big band sound amazing. Everything is great. Even the liner notes that Harry wrote are gems to [...]

This weekend I watched four more movies at home and saw two of the 2006 nominated films in the theatres. I also had some previously watched best picture winners still to comment on.
To quote from one of my all-time favorite movies:
Let me ’splain… No, there is too much. Let me sum up.

[UPDATE: My efforts were recognized over at PopWatch on EW.com]
Doogie, Colleen, and I went and saw Kevin Costner and his band (yes, he has a band) perform at the Field of Dreams back in August. I took pictures and posted those long ago. I had completely forgotten that I also had video of some [...]

Since I come in before most people, I get [...]

The Oscar nominations are out and presently I’ve seen two out of the five best picture nominees, but the three I have left to see are all playing in the area right now, so I hope to see those really soon and then have more of an opinion. But I will say that I’m really [...]

Natural Selection: A Novel
by Dave Freedman

I had Natural Selection written down in the back of my Moleskin on my list of “might be good, look for it sometime” books that I collect from people and around the web. It was checked out for a long time at my library but I eventually snagged it and [...]

I tried this once back in October, but my photos were so unorganized and I was so far behind on captioning things that I just never followed through. I’m working on several projects for myself this year and I’ve managed to get all my photo management bits in line so I can pursue this. The [...]

Chatting with Lisa earlier I realized the irony of how in the real world, I completely loathe moving furniture or things on my walls, yet every so often I get this overwhelming urge to completely redo my website.
Right now its like the major pieces are in place, but all the pictures on the walls [...]
