Yesterday, The Wife and I went to the movies. And saw the new Indiana Jones movie. Read about it here (warning, spoilers!).
Went to the early show. One of them, anyway. They were showing it every 15 minutes. And we caught the last of the early shows. Paid matinée price.
Which meant we only paid $13.50 for [...]

The Wife and I went to the movies yesterday.
We don’t go a lot. Which is a shame. I really enjoy going to the movies.
The thing is, there isn’t often anything worth paying $9.00 to see. That both The Wife and I want to see, at least.
You see, I like going to the movies better than [...]

You seen those pictures?
The ones of Miley Cyrus? The Hannah Montana kid? Billy Ray Cyrus’ little girl?
She’s showing up in Vanity Fair almost wearing clothes.
To be fair, there is no nudity. Unless you count her back.

In reality, the pictures are no big deal.
EXCEPT THAT THE GIRL IS [...]

Normally, I’d pretty much ignore any TV commercial for a cell phone. At least until it’s time to renew or change.
It’s time. Or coming up soon, anyway.

The Wife and I have finally discovered Homicide: Life on the Street.
Yeah, I know. The show went off the air in 1999. 122 episodes. And just now, we’ve started watching it.
I’d seen some episodes on TNT, when they’d air Law & Order episodes that crossed over with Homicide.
But that’s all I ever saw.
When the show [...]

I like the History Channel. Have for a long time.
The Wife doesn’t understand how I can go to sleep watching TV, much less, watching the History Channel.
One of her common complaints was “waking up at 2 o’clock in the morning and — BOOM! — explosions going off. Sure enough, it’s you gone to sleep with [...]

As best as I can tell, Anna Nicole Smith died again.
Only this time, she was a he … and went by the name Heath Ledger.
Now, my intent is not to minimize the life and legacy of Heath Ledger … or even Anna Nicole Smith … but honestly, it’s Heath Ledger.
It wasn’t Laurence Olivier … or [...]
