The Break Up - The worst time you'll have at the movies this year
Last night Connie and I caught an advance showing of The Break Up. I enjoy the occasional romantic comedy. I like Vince Vaughn. I’m not a Jennifer Aniston fan, but I really dug her in Friends With Money. I was ready to give this one a try. Have you ever been stuck in a room, car, etc. with a...May 30, 2006
I Survived!
I’m happy to report that I survived a camping weekend with the Extreme Team. I’ll post some pictures later in the week....May 25, 2006
Punching
The Onion always has a USA Today-like color statistical graph on the lower corner of their front page. A few years ago they ran one that was exceptionally funny. It was “Who most deserves a good old fashioned cock punching?” Among the leading candidates were Freddy Prinze Jr and Jared from Subway. If that question were asked today, I...May 24, 2006
2 Days Until Camping
This weekend I’ll be taking my first camping trip as an adult. As hard as I lobbied for the group to stay at a nice resort on our getaway, my suggestions fell on deaf ears. So, between the dangers of bear attacks and encounters with the uncivilized forest people, let’s hope I make it back alive....May 22, 2006
Hey Les!
I’m the guy in the red and black. You’re the guy in the white wearing the protective headgear....May 19, 2006
Lunchtime Internet Browsing - Gnarls Barkley, Wayne Brady, Steven Seagal and that lady who got punched in the face
I like to look at things on the internet. Here are some of the things I’ve been looking at while eating lunch. My old cohorts at Atlantic Records have done a great job with building the hype around the new Danger Mouse project, Gnarls Barkley. I picked the disc up last week. It’s really good. This might be the funniest...Go Cavs
The NBA really hasn’t been of great interest to me over the past few years. I enjoy the sport, but am no better than a casual fan of pro basketball. Guess what though? I’m 100% tuning in for the rest of this Cavaliers/Pistons series. David Stern has got to be doing cartwheels over the way this is going. Who...May 17, 2006
One Day...
I stumbled across this Michel Gondry short film with David Cross at YouTube. I’m not sure what it’s from. Take a look....Camping
I want to go camping!...May 16, 2006

O Mickey
The “wacky web site” calendar that my brother Jeff gave me for X-mas last year directed me to this link. It made me laugh, so I thought I’d share....May 14, 2006
The Return from the Rapids
I’m back in town after a wild week in WI Rapids. My trip highlight: taking a nice long swim at the hotel’s pool. Near the pool was their gameroom with a Lethal Weapon 3 pinball machine. I was going to play but I figured that I was too old for that s#@t! Thursday night I caught a showing of...May 11, 2006
Year Two
On the second anniversary of the start of our quest to make the world a better place, The Life of Leisure would like to pause and thank you for taking the time to visit this web destination. Thanks for making us a part of your life. Give yourself a pat on the back because you’re number one and everyone...Wisconsin Rapids Day 2 - Taco John's Rocks!
I’m having a blast here in WI Rapids with the Postal crew. My highlight of the second day was the Taco Bravo from WI Rapids premier dining establishment, Taco John’s. I talked with Andy E. earlier in the day and told him about my dining options. He recommended the Bravo. It was delicious. If you ever find yourself at...May 9, 2006
On the road again
This week my life of leisure takes me to Wisconsin Rapids, WI. Another one of my Dad’s conventions is happening here over the next few days. We’re staying at a place with a pool. I look forward to taking a swim at some point....May 9, 2006 5:48 PM | 1 Comments
F@#k you, David Blaine
It pains me to admit that I watched the David Blaine: Drowned Alive TV special. What compels people (myself included) to watch this crap? I’ll tell you. It’s the secret hope that some will go terribly wrong. First off, let’s talk about the show’s title. Drowned Alive? Most of the time that I hear the term “drowned” it’s associated...May 8, 2006
Summerfest Lineup 2006
Don’t click on this. I could go into my annual rant about Summerfest’s uninspired music lineup. Look for yourself. Instead, I’ll give the fest props for booking Merrill Nisker aka Peaches who is opening for Nine Inch Nails and Bauhaus. She’s one of my sister’s favorites. Here are the acts that I’ll try to catch this year 7/2 Nine...May 2, 2006
Winners
What would be the best word to describe the Atlas Mortgage Company softball team? That word would be… Winners. Yes, Atlas finished on top in their battle with the very talented Club Paragon squad by a score of 17-16 tonight....Mothly Archives
