Torture and the Politics of “24″

March 15, 2007

There is a very interesting (and long) article on 24, politics and torture on Truth Out; it looks like it was initially published in The New Yorker and is entitled “The Politics of the Man Behind ‘24.’”
As you probably know, I really like “24.” I like the somewhat improbable and cheesy plots (that are getting [...]

Weekly LOST Recap

February 14, 2007

Today is an important day for many reasons. It is, of course, Valentine’s Day, and Sarah and I are celebrating appropriately with the traditional exchange of meaningful gifts, the celebratory cooking of a special dinner and sharing other expressions of our love for one another.
However, we’ll be staying in this evening to watch LOST. Perhaps [...]

24: Jack is Back

January 14, 2007

We’re having some fellow 24-addicts over tonight and tomorrow for the 24 Season 6 Two-Night Premiere! Sarah and I started watching Season 1 of 24 on July 18, 2006. That didn’t take us long and we quickly went through Seasons 2-4 as well. We watched Season 5 over Christmas break in 2 days and now, [...]

LOST: The Addiction

December 5, 2006

Sarah and I haven’t been as vocal about our addiction to LOST (well, I’m addicted to LOST, Sarah likes it, but 24 still holds a special place in her heart) as we were about 24. But, in the past month or so, we’ve finished the first two seasons of LOST and we’re looking forward to [...]

GOODBYE DMITRY!

July 20, 2006

Sorry West Coast folks, but…GOODBYE DMITRY. Seriously folks - I know he’s got those amazing pecs and all, and he shows his chest every week, but the guy can’t do anything other than his cute little samba or other ballroom dances. He and his big ‘ole smile are gone, along with Martha (thank goodness). And [...]

A Meditation on the Speed Limit

March 3, 2006

Atlanta traffic sucks.
So, one might ask why we drove in it on a Friday afternoon? Yet, it was the perfect way to end the afternoon after a particularly frustrating trip to Jared’s.

Check out Sarah’s blog for a pretty sweet video from those who decided to have some fun on 285.

Felicity and an Affair

August 17, 2005

It’s been a few days since Sarah left for Scotland, and she’s been having a very good time at Iona. I’ve been here in Atlanta, eating rather poorly (but doing better thanks to some of her friends who are getting me in for some food in the cafeteria), reading, emailing and getting hooked on Felicity. [...]

How did ANYONE think this was a good idea…

May 4, 2005

Thanks to Mark, I ran across this video that I remember watching in my junior high youth group. In fact, it was kind of like the "initiation" video that you watched when you became a member of the junior high group. "Without Reservation" - watch the 30sec trailer here. I remember wearing a Without Reservation [...]

Hotel Rwanda: Damn I love being American!

January 20, 2005

Andrew and I went to see Hotel Rwanda last night (trailer here). It’s movies like these that make me so proud to be an American (read = sarcasm…bitter sarcasm). It’s also movies like these that make me wonder, “How accurate was the film? Were the facts there? Did they exaggerate things just to make it [...]
