Hitchcock Double Feature
What a wonderful place the Times Cinema is. Starting Friday they’re running an Alfred Hitchcock double feature of Rear Window and Rope for a week. Jimmy Stewart is great in both movies. While we were roommates, Jim (I remember him being a big fan of the movie) had me watch Rope with him. It was shot to look like it...November 28, 2004
Mildly Disturbing
I was holiday shopping at Target and stumbled across this. It’s a Celine Dion and Anne Geddes (the woman who takes pictures of babies in flower pots) CD and photo book. I couldn’t help thinking, who buys this shit?!!. I can just image Geddes at the cover photo shoot. “Don’t put the kid to close to Celine, his hair...November 23, 2004
Show and Tell
Thanksgiving is only a few days away. The holiday season is almost here. With this in mind, I dug out the Christmas card (click on image to enlarge) that I sent out last year. Marisa and Missy at Serendipity Design did a great job on the card’s layout and design. View image View image Here are a few more pictures...November 22, 2004
Uno, dos, tres, catorce
What happened to cuatro through trece, Bono? Ahhh…Who cares? Much to the delight of my friends Bryan and Rajan, the new U2 album comes out tomorrow. I found this game to play while we wait....November 19, 2004
November at the Movies
Some thoughts on what i’ve seen lately: Ray - Jamie Foxx does a great Ray Charles. The guy who played Booger from Revenge of the Nerds is Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun. He’s good in this too. The story seemed a little rushed at times. It’s strange because Ray’s running time is two and a half hours and skips over...November 18, 2004
Changes
After two plus years, my employment with ABMC came to an end this week. My friend Lance (who recently opened his own business) made me a very generous offer for my services. I would have been foolish to refuse him. While this is a good opportunity for me, I will miss Tony greatly. Aside from withholding hugs and his insistence...November 15, 2004
Falco
Last week, Tony told me that Falco (the singer famous for “Rock Me Amadeus”) was dead. It was such an obscure piece of knowledge to have that i doubted him. We typed “is falco dead or alive?” into Google. Here’s what we found....November 15, 2004 4:13 PM | 4 Comments
Fogo de Chao
It was Connie’s birthday over the weekend. To help her celebrate, a few of her friends joined us for dinner at Fogo de Chao. It’s a Brazilian steakhouse that serves you as much as you care to eat. The “Gauchos” bring a variety of meats to you on skewers. It’s served at a feverish pace. Everything was fantastic. If you’re...November 11, 2004
Stella
The funniest thing i’ve ever seen was on MTV’s sketch comedy show The State. It was a bit featuring two guys in leisure suits, Barry and LeVon, dancing in front of $240 worth of pudding. The show was hilarious. Since MTV cancelled The State, the cast has been seen in Wet Hot American Summer among other places. Michael Ian Black,...November 11, 2004 11:51 AM | 5 Comments
How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb
The new U2 album doesn’t come out until November 23rd, but if you go to www.wxrt.com, you can listen to it today. They’re playing it from beginning to end over and over for 12 hours until around 9:45pm. When you go to the site click on Listen Live in the lower left corner. You’ll have to install AOL’s music player....November 9, 2004
SpongeBob Squarepants
I’ve had limited exposure to SpongeBob Squarepants, but I find myself fascinated by the cartoon phenomenon about this spongeman who wears a shirt and tie and lives in an underwater pineapple. I only know SpongeBob from seeing his image is on t-shirts, beach towels, cereal boxes, etc. Over the weekend I saw The Incredibles. Before the movie played, a...November 5, 2004
Episode III
I found a link to the new Star Wars trailer. Oh Sweet Baby Jesus! If you haven’t seen it yet, click here. May 19th 2005 can’t come soon enough....November 4, 2004
I'm Sick
I’ve been fighting a terrible cold for the past few days. I watched election results at the Codys on Tuesday. Unfortunately, many of the good pizza places near the Center of Power weren’t delivering. So, Jen ordered the Pizza Hut Super Family Feeding Frenzy (USA #1 Happy Fun Time) Meal Deal. Dan and Jen told me that I was an...November 2, 2004
Infernal Affairs
I stopped by the Times Cinema over the weekend. They were playing Infernal Affairs, a Hong Kong cat and mouse thriller about the mafia and the police department who both have moles inside the other’s organization. It’s a really engaging movie. Before seeing this, I read an article comparing the directors, Andrew Lau and Alan Mak, to Michael Mann. I...Trick or Treat
I was a little disappointed by the small number of kids out Trick or Treating on Sunday. Kids of Wauwatosa, what is wrong with you?!! Do you not like candy?!! The Halloween candy collecting was from 1-4. I didn’t have any kids come knocking until 1:30. I would guess there were only around 30 kids total who came to the...November 2, 2004 3:26 PM | 1 Comments
McBob's
Jim and I decided to get together for dinner last Friday. I’ve had many a Fish Fry in my day and think i’ve found the best one in Milwaukee - McBob’s on 49th and North. A few months back, Dan, Jen and I went there for the first time. I was amazed by the sheer volume of fish that is...John Kerry Rally in Milwaukee
Tony, Les and I went to the John Kerry rally yesterday. There was a nice turn out considering the weather. MSNBC reported around 10,000 people were in attendance. Jon Bon Jovi sang a few songs. Gwen Moore and Jim Doyle spoke. Herb Kohl introduced Kerry. Here are some of the pictures Tony took....Mothly Archives
