I am in Maine now ... Its nice to have an actual 2 bedroom with our own bathroom, eat-in kitchen and room for us each to have our own space.

Just saw the Muppet Movie again .. Its great fun with lots of crazy cameos (including Edgar Bergen, Bob Hope and Orson Welles) ***1/2

Also saw 13 going on 30 ... I must say I...

Is netflix really worth the $$?
thedarkness:
I say 13 going on 30 last night, I would have to agree with you that the first half was more entertining than the second.
But anything with Jennifer Garner in it and I turn into a drooling imbecile. She is so gorgeous.

Back in NYC for another week ... been here a week.

Its amazing how much cheaper it is for a Penske/UHaul/Budget if you get it in Princeton, NJ vs. New York, NY .... Of course New York City is more expensive then anywhere ...

Moving definitely sucks though and not really looking forward to it ... Have a 10-foot penske van rented though and I...

Thanks for the set comment/compliment. love wink

i totally loved "spellbound"...so much preparation and pressure for the under 15 crowd. But cool.

My very favorite independent film in the docu-drama style was "Miss India Goergia"...i wish i could find a DVD copy, but what do ya do?

"Daughter from Danang" was all at once the best and most painful thing i have ever seen. Painful mostly because the adopted girl found her Vietnamese family, but within 1 week, the cultural differences and mutilated false expectations the daughter held ruined everything. But really...human drama in it's best and most bittersweet. Only watch if you feel like crying.

Sunday is almost gone.

Realize now without cable that getting addicted to it and the DVR.

Trying out NetFlix .. I love the choice of movies but they do take quite a long time to get there ... I might go with Blockbuster's unlimited rental thing of 2 movies at a time for $24.99/month .. but then I miss some really cool wacky stuff which...

Living in Maine now.

If you want my top 10 list for the year look at the last comment and you have a very long posting.

So I finally found a place in Westbrook, Maine which is where my wife wanted to be all along (less then a mile from the in-laws) ... I had my heart set on a place on the beach but...

Regarding Winnipeg:

A place where restaurants serve breakfast, which people eat before walking out into the streets flanked by six-foot snowbanks.

A place where the sun goes down and there's so much room between everything that bouncing streetlight illuminates the outdoor sky.

A place where the financial district was built to form the windiest point in the western hemisphere.

A place which holds the title of 'world capital of slurpees', despite the city itself being frozen half the year.

A place where faces are distorted by the cold--a cold which transcends the distinction between celcius and fahrenheit (-40˚ ).

A place where university students' spring break was moved to the end of February; specifically, the week which had previously hosted the most sudent suicides out of the year.

A place where a someone may come along to help push your car out of the snow without ever saying a word.

A place where all of this is mutually forgotten and taboo for the summer months.

Even if Guy Maddin was attempting to mythologize his home town, it is a bizarre enough place to be called the world capital of sorrow.

A lot happened today ...

One of my favorite athletes of all time .. Reggie White died of Sleep Apnea at only 41 years old.

The biggest earthquake in 40 years rocked 100 miles west of Indonesia in the Ocean sending tital waves thorughout the indian ocean ... An earthquake 8.9 on the richter scale that killed thousands and thousands (we will probably not know...

Flew out on Wednesday night and saw my school friend Cl. and his wife ... and help put their tree up and slept on an old air mattress of mine.

On Thursday picked up a rental car at...

So Off to California tomorrow for my grandmother's funeral.

Missing some great holiday parties at both church and SGNY but it will be nice to see the San Bernadino Mountains and Pacific Ocean again.

Also get a chance to see my old roommate Clint and his wife and show my wife the west coast for first time (furthest west she has been is Central PA)...

In my wife's parents house for Thanksgiving.

Had my sister drive most of the way up from Central NJ to Maine.

I couldn't believe how she can listen to books on tape, which may be the most annoying sound I have ever heard.

She is also stuck in a house full of smokers (father-in-law, brother-in-law, etc.) .... which she doesn't like ....

But my sister...
