Minnie Driver

MinniedrivealbumIs it just really late or does Minnie Driver actually not sound bad as a singer?

I wasn’t feeling gutsy enough to try William Shatner’s new album “Has Been”.

Wimbledon

WimbledonSaw Wimbeldon the other day. It was cute. The ads were much sexier, and I’m not saying it wasn’t, but there really wasn’t much more than you’d see on primetime TV, actually a lot less (so you could take the kids). Good filming and I’m SO not into tennis. Both the leads were great but Kirsten just steals the whole screen when she smiles.

Two and a half men!

Jake is back! THis show always makes me laugh, but I’d been a little sad that Jake (the 1/2) hadn’t been on (barely) the last few weeks. This week was better. If you’re not watching this show you should, you can always catch Las Vegas in the re-runs…

SpaceShipOne Wins $10 Million

Posted on October 4, 2004 | Leave a comment

Spaceship1BPrivate spacecraft travels into space twice in 5 days and they win the prize! I always wanted to be an astronaut as a kid, but when the space shuttle came around I assumed I’d be able to go as a passenger so I didn’t pursue it. Maybe I will still get my chance to go on a vacation into space… More info.

Garden State

Posted on October 3, 2004 | 1 comment

So I finally saw it! It was really excellent. Kind of a Beautiful Girls meets Lithium… Zach and Natalie were perfect for the parts he had this lost/numb look when needed and she’s hysterical. She seemed really young in the movie reminding me a lot of her character Marty in Beautiful Girls (but that was 8 years). I will need the DVD for the director’s commentary (and any extras). Even the not funny scenes were funny in some way. I laughed lots! Out loud.

I always try to figure out what to say without giving up the movie… If you think you’ll like it, you probably will. It’s really got the gears turning in my head, I need the life altering experiences that some of the characters wen through so I can wake up and get moving with my life. Thanks to the motivators Maya and Jenni and everyone else whose been talking about this… I was halfway there when I remembered tissue, or more specifically that we didn’t have any, but I survived. The funny stuff offset the rest a bit…

Michigan Reviews

Posted on October 3, 2004 | Leave a comment

This is just a note about two new sub-categories I’ve added. Michigan and Reviews.

Michigan
is for things related to things in the state. Not specifically that I went to Zoo but info about it, but it might just be as short as “it’s the best bird preserve in the state!”
Reviews
info on anything (movies, music, games, books, etc). It might just mention a great preview or the best burger I ever had…

These are subject to change/grow. I’ve been wanting to do some reorganizing the other categories a little so it may grown with them…
