Entries from April 2006

film snobbery

April 26th, 2006 · 4 Comments

I came across this list of 102 movies the film critic Jim Emerson says one must see before regarding themselves as movie literate.
Now, don’t get the wrong idea, I don’t at all consider myself movie literate. And just glancing at this list I know for certain I haven’t seen a lot because [...]

never let me go

April 24th, 2006 · No Comments

Last Tuesday somebody recalled the copy of [tag]Kazuo Ishiguro[/tag]’s [tag]Never Let Me Go[/tag] I had checked out from the library. So, as I had a week to read it before I’d have to wait in the recall line again, I decided to try and read it.
I was originally inspired to read it [...]

passwords and last week

April 24th, 2006 · No Comments

It seems there’s been some complaints about the recent glut, and by glut I mean two entries, with passwords.
Why do I put these protected entries here? Why not just put them into some handwritten journal or a hidden secret blog somewhere else where nobody will even know they are there?
Mostly it is [...]

backgammon tournament

April 17th, 2006 · No Comments

Hahaha this is amazing! So a couple weeks ago I was introduced to True Money Games. They run freeroll tournaments every two hours. They’re 3 point matches, 15 minute time limit per player, single elimination. The prize pool is I believe 4/2/2/2 dollars.
Just now, I won $4.
You have no [...]

online calendars

April 15th, 2006 · 1 Comment

So though I don’t really make use of any [tag]calendars[/tag] online or otherwise, I am sort of torn between wanting to continue to occasionally use two web calendars in particular. On the one hand, there’s [tag]30 Boxes[/tag], for which I really like the “One Box” entry system for events. On the other hand, [...]

readership

April 13th, 2006 · No Comments

Now that my parents have linked to me, it seems that suddenly there are these hits from places that I know I have family that weren’t coming before. I’m pretty sure I was careful enough this time around not to make available anything I might regret public, but even so, it’s a little bit [...]

consumer reports for kids

April 12th, 2006 · No Comments

I was buying some random produce at Hyde Park Produce yesterday and when I was leaving I thought of something random from when I was much younger, because of a sign in the window. The sign was about how they sold Boar’s Head deli products.
Way back when, I think my family had [...]

Argentine Beef

April 12th, 2006 · No Comments

I don’t really have much to add. Reading this article called “Argentina on Two Steaks a Day” makes me want to go there and stuff my face with beef.
And dairy too, but mostly [tag]beef[/tag]. Reading things like this makes me wonder about the whole vegan thing. I mean, like, sure [...]
