Friday night the wife and I joined some friends for some good food and a bad movie. The food, carne asada, was good and the movie, Pocket Ninjas, was especially bad. When you reuse footage over and over to make up an 80 minute movie, odds are you don’t have much of a story to [...]

IKEA Love
I thought this was a funny story: Beijing loves IKEA – but not for shopping.
There is also a scene in (500) Days of Summer where the principle characters enjoy a purchase free afternoon in IKEA.
I must admit that I too have spent a hot summer day or two wondering through the furniture aisles of IKEA. [...]
Weekend Update
Traci graduated from Pepperdine on Saturday
90’s themed birthday party for a friend on Friday night. Erin and I had a great time and probably outstayed our welcome, but we had to see how Singles ended. Would they all stay single?
Traci graduated from Pepperdine on Saturday morning. We spend our entire day out around Malibu [...]
Dawn of the Dead and Zombie Movies
So, if you read my previous post you are aware that I watched Dawn of the Dead last night. Believe it or not, it was actually the first zombie movie I'd ever seen. The zombie movies have never been at the top of my horror movie must-see list simply because they just don't seem like they [...]
A Poor Decision
I made a poor decision last night. Instead of watching the Lakers game live, I chose to DVR it and watch Dawn of the Dead instead. I thought it was a great idea at the time. My plan was I would watch the Lakers game later and skip all of the commercials and the half time show. Unfortunately, [...]
30 Days of Night
So, last night’s malt beverage of choice was Shiner Bohemian Black Lager, and the movie was 30 Days of Night. The lager was good and the movie was bad, which is exactly how I expected it to work out. 30 Days of Night is about an isolated little town in Alaska which shuts down for [...]
Bacheloric Rituals: Pizza, Malt Beverage and Horror
Erin left this morning for her first business trip of the new year. She generally travels a lot in the late winter and early spring. Over the years I’ve grown accustomed to her travels and have developed a few bacheloric (probably not a word) rituals which I repeat each time she leaves town. One of [...]

Friday Night
Shared a huge plate of nachos at Sharky’s with Erin and then watched There Will Be Blood. I’m not sure the movie would have been very interesting without the score. Jonny Greenwood’s music really gave the movie its eerie quality.
Saturday
We slept in and around noon went down to Irvine with Erin’s parents to [...]

A Relaxing Weekend Update
After an extremely long week I was ready to relax this weekend. While Erin and I kept pretty busy, the entire weekend had an air of relaxation that hasn’t been around for quite a while.
Friday NightWe had a quick dinner at Chevy’s, probably our all-time favorite restaurant, with some friends, and then saw Changeling, which [...]
