Who’s Bringing Popcorn?

// August 2nd, 2009 // 1 Comment » // DVD, Entertainment, Just Blogging, Movies

I’ve added a new page at the top that utilizes my collection of movies and tv shows previously stored only on my hard drive. I had been searching for awhile trying to find a wordpress plugin that worked with my movie collector software with no luck. Collectorz finally ended up making collections available online recently which is nice. It would be better if I could make it match the rest of my site but beggars can’t be choosers. Regardless, I still have a bunch of dvd’s to catalog and I purchased a new portable scanner that came in on thursday. I didn’t think it would be so compact! I’ll try it out this week to see how well it works.

Men, Women and keeping it real..

// April 16th, 2009 // No Comments » // Books, Life

Saw an really good piece on Good Morning America this morning since I was already late for work. It was comedian Steve Harvey talking about his book called Act Like A Lady, Think Like A Man which has become a bestseller and features straight talk to women about men.

He was pretty spot on from my point of view about everything. Of particular interest was how he laid out the differences on how men and women show each other how much they love one another. He surmised that women have a multitude of ways to do this while men basically have three. If you have a chance, take 10 minutes to watch the clip (at least to the 3 P’s). It may hit home or peak your interest as to what else he has to say..

My Kindle: Part Deux

// February 11th, 2009 // No Comments » // Kindle, Life

I broke my Kindle.

It was sitting on a ledge where I also keep my wireless headphones with tiled floors all through the house. Not a good combo. I almost dropped it a few times before due to wires getting crossed up etc. The thing that did it was me forgetting it was plugged in and grabbing it from the opposite side I usually get it from. It smashed on the floor screwing up the e-ink to where it was pretty much unreadable. This all happened awhile ago, but I called it in on Monday. 189 dollars later and my brand new Kindle arrived on Tuesday. Setting it up and pulling down my books, magazines and newspapers again was a breeze. Still it was an expensive lesson to learn. Moral of the story is keep your Kindles in a better spot than I did!

I can’t stop watching Notting Hill

// December 25th, 2008 // No Comments » // Entertainment, Movies

Every time its on TV I have to watch. I don’t know what it is about the movie but its really well acted and the characters are so rich and believable that I get caught up in it every time. The whole “I’m just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love me” thing gets me everytime. If its in blu-ray I may just make the move because of this movie.

What can I say, I love romantic comedies!

I’ve just had great Sex…

// May 30th, 2008 // No Comments » // Entertainment, Movies

Wow! Great freaking movie! I poo pooed the local review (4 out of 5 stars) but after seeing the movie I pretty much agree. If you were a fan of the series its a must see. Actually I wouldn’t mind seeing it again (just like Iron Man). Also, its a great place to meet women, literally. I counted maybe 8 guys total in a packed house. It was great outside the theatre as the groups got together and excitedly talked about the series. Some were dressed casual while others were made up a little more than usual and fellas there were definitely hotties around. The best part was at the end because there was no waiting for the men’s room. How could this not be a good thing for guys?

Anyway, go check it out. I think you will come away pleasantly surprised. And if you have a girlfriend or SO, you’ll get some good points for going.

I’m missing a month here…. Mulder?

// May 29th, 2008 // No Comments » // Just Blogging, Life, Movies, Play

Holy crap I haven’t posted in a month! I really don’t know where to begin other than to say this post won’t be long because I’m tired as hell. I was up late, got up early, then spent the rest of the day running around for no apparent reason, save one (I did have an appointment I had to make). Other than that it’s been all good. Mother’s day was great and I spent some quality time with the family. I actually got my pulse pen (ie Lightscribe) but even more crazy is I have yet to use it. That’s partly because it came a day before my week of vacation concluding tomorrow. But back to the ill conceived thought that this would be a short post..

So.. Sex and the City tomorrow. I’m on the hook to travel with a few coworkers (all women), so I will probably get the token gay member of the group pass (not that theres anything wrong with that) but no worries, I can deal. I was halfway thinking of dressing the part if I had something outrageously flamboyant. I’m not expecting much of the movie so it should be great! Truth be told I loved the series. It was smartly written and half of the stuff talked about could pose for stuff guys talk about with guy stuff substituted in. So in the end I guess we’re all not too different, save the venus and mars pieces.

Anyway there’s so much I wanna say and not enough time so i’ll just end now. We could always use more peeps to enjoy the flick so if you’re not doing anything around 10:30 a.m. and you’re near the Gateway theatre come on by!

I should really spell check this before…

Sleeeeep….

NC… No Class

// May 1st, 2008 // No Comments » // Entertainment, Just Blogging, Movies

Weird day today, first left my wallet at home and didn’t realize it until I was ready to pay at Mangias. Good thing I wasn’t alone or it would have been interesting. Next I drive all the way home from the Burnet/Domain area to Round Rock, grab my wallet then head back fighting traffic so that I can get to class all the way down 360 to Bee Caves. I’m 5 minutes out from class and I get a call saying that class has been cancelled because to many people have called to say they won’t make it. No big deal because I’m already pretty tired anyway.

I have a thought to skip out for a brew or two, but ever since I started on my new workout regimen I’ve been sleeping really freaking good the last few days and eating fairly decent (save for pizza today). Good thing I didn’t because I quite possibly just watched the best Survivor episode ever and i’ve seen them all.

Anyway, I know i’ve been a little lazy in updates the past few days. Between the workouts and real work, i’ve had little time for anything else. Good thing I’m taking off tomorrow to recharge! I’ll start the morning off with a good workout, decent breakfast, then relax until 10:30 when I go to check out Iron Man. That should be a pretty decent Friday, eh?

My week so far

// April 22nd, 2008 // No Comments » // Entertainment, Kindle, Life, Play

I’ve been doing alot more reading on my Kindle than I have in the past which I like. The main thing i’ve discovered is that reading more than one book on it is great. I have several books that i’m reading plus the local paper here in Austin. Since my mom was a librarian she was definitely happy that I was back into reading in a big way. She’s still a big reader and will sometimes finish a book in a day still, reading all night on the weekends. Crazy!

My buddy Tony from El Paso has been in town for the last few days. We played some Rock Band and hung out for the last few days while he was doing some work in town. Last night we went and hung out and I drunk way to many seven and sevens but otherwise had a great time. We’re planning to try and hit some games up in Denver this year, hopefully Paul will be starting!
