Evan, Akure and I went to see Shoot ‘em Up tonight and it was either the best movie ever or the worst movie ever. Critics seem to be divided as well. Perhaps my recent immersion into the noir [...]

No, I’m not talking about the fact that Appalachian State beat Michigan at the Big House on Saturday. What I’m talking about is the fact that Evan, Jesse and I were propositioned by a little person. He asked us if we would help him “get more drunk.” He then told [...]
First, Stardust. I loved this movie. It is probably my favorite movie I’ve seen in a long time. I’m a pretty big Neil Gaiman fan, but even I didn’t think I’d like this movie as much as [...]
This story on digg is very sad. Hearing that an animal has gone extinct is never happy news. But look closely at the title. Do you really think 
accurately reflects the emotional response from hearing that a species is extinct?
Let’s look at some examples.
Me: I [...]
I think I’ve started to put together some plans for this winter. Yes, it involves dog sledding. I would like to go spend some time in Quebec City and Montreal. French Canada here I come.
[...]There’s been a lot of buzz about this lately. I had to post it because I think it is just too cool.
Sure, it is a $98,000 car, but it is 100% electric and it looks totally sweet. It is also [...]
For turning me on to possibly the craziest video I’ve seen in a long time. This is one of the many reasons I don’t understand techno. This song is about playing video games.
I think it is so funny when they go from sitting around playing video games to the club. [...]
I saw Transformers on the Fourth of July. It was … loud. That’s probably the nicest thing you can say about it. Don’t get me wrong, the special effects were pretty sweet, but there just wasn’t a lot there. It is by far the worst script I’ve seen in [...]
I’ve had my iPhone for almost a week now and I would just like to say how much I love it. It is by far the best cellphone I have ever had. The call quality is really superb. Obviously, the iPhone functionality is amazing and the internet browsing is top [...]
It occurred to me today as I was walking along Michigan Ave., the iPhone has probably had the greatest marketing I’ve ever seen. Not only that, but it seemed to introduce a new wave of marketing almost. I don’t know if anyone else has already referred to this, but to [...]
Long or Short is really a hilarious blog. This entry on Andy’s new boss is especially comical.
Here is one of my favorite parts:
[...]Also, if you’re spending $400 on stone crabs for lunch every day, own it and embrace your d-bagness.
As it turns out, I will have an opportunity to witness the Apple Store here in Chicago sell it’s iPhones next Friday. I’m looking forward to photoblogging the lines at the store. I will not be purchasing a phone for myself at the time, but I’m interested to witness [...]
I watched the Fanatastic Four and the Fantastic Four: The Rise of the Silver Surfer over the weekend. I have to say, I definitely like Silver Surfer better, but the first Fantastic Four movie is not nearly as bad as I remember.
It did get me thinking though. What would be [...]
Last night I went to Chipotle and experienced something I had never seen before. New rice. When you go to McDonald’s the best time to get fries is right when they come out of the fryer. It really doesn’t get any better than that.
I was thus curious about whether or [...]
No I didn’t get lost, but I’m sure I will at somepoint. Who did get lost? My bus driver yesterday after work. I hoped on the 125 bus right outside of work around 5:30, only to have my bus driver take a wrong turn and get lost. She stopped and [...]
I’ve been told that today’s lunch will be “bloggorific,” but I have no idea why that is so. When I know, dear readers, you will know.
[Update] We are conducting a Deli-Off, which is like a standoff or a walkoff, but more like a taste test. We went to Manny’s, which [...]
After spending some more time on Long or Short Capital I have decided it might be one of my favorite new sites. If you get a kick out of jokes like, “I’m trading in the small communities market” or you tell your co-worker you are buying and selling Cubs’ [...]
Two of my co-workers are convinced that the other has the worst haircut in the world. Really there is only one way to solve this - an internet poll. After this no one will be able to argue against the truth of the matter.
The polls have [...]
The blog should be back in working order after the glitch that occured due to the Star Wars quiz post. I blame Stroh for not reporting the glitch, or else the problem would have been fixed sooner.
[...]I found these results not at all surprising.
Your results:

You are civilized, calm, and have a good sense of humor, even when those around you don’t. [...] ChicagoI’ve made it to Chicago and finished unpacking. Time to go exploring. [...]Togo and SuttonLast night, I went in to town for the evening and got to witness Togo and Sutton playing in the Rankin’s back yard. Of course Togo tried to dominate. It’s just in his nature. They seemed to have fun. [...] Irony thy name is McDonald’sI went to McDonald’s for dinner tonight. McDonald’s is a fine restaurant, but even I know that it isn’t the healthiest thing for you. So imagine my surprise when the car that pulled in in front of me had a license plate frame that said, “Registered Dietitian: Nutrition specialist.” Apparently, she’s [...] Game nightVery interestingMy Old Kentucky HomePeople around here in Charlottesville get very excited for Foxfields’. Me, well I can’t get too excited for it after attending the Derby. I was fortunate enough to attend the 133th Kentucky Derby yesterday and it was fantastic. The weather was wonderful, 70s and sunny, saw friends from college and [...] I’ve found itThe worst movie ever. Invincible, starring Billy Zane. The movie has possibly the worst acting, script and direction I’ve ever seen. Billy Zane’s over the top acting gives it a campy flair, a la Demon Knight. But honestly I don’t know why I haven’t stopped watching it. It’s like [...] Only in CaliIt’s sad that a bunch of “historical preservationists” are gonna keep Steve Jobs from having a house that he actually wants to live in. As usual the California Supreme Court is no help. [...]A study in futilityI like playing Guitar Hero. I really do. But when I see things like this I realize how futile my attempts are.
