Films For Flying

I’m traveling to Ft Wayne, IN this Sunday and I’ll be taking three different flights with 45 min-1 hr layovers in between. So… I have all day to travel, but no flight long enough to offer any entertainment (other than my fellow travelers). I’m bringing some books but I think I’ll also rent a movie through iTunes to watch on my phone.

Any suggestions? Anyone who replies with “Snakes On A Plane” will be banned from the internet for a year.

Stats Suck Sunday: Birthday

Stats Suck Sunday! It’s time to write a bunch of random stuff!

  • Today is wifey’s birthday.
  • She was upset that I had to “work” this morning, but worship went well (and she enjoyed it).
  • One of her gifts was Sarah McLachlan’s greatest hits cd. We’ve been listening to it all day.
  • It reminded me that Sarah McLachlan is a stud(ette) songwriter. She makes some good music.
  • It also reminded me that City of Angels is one of the worst movies. Ever.
  • Speaking of Nicholas Cage, we’re watching Moonstruck this afternoon. Pretty good.
  • All these Italians make me want to watch The Godfather, however, wifey probably wouldn’t appreciate mafioso for her bday.
  • I still have a beard.

Stats Suck Sunday

It’s Sunday and stats suck:

  • Thanks for all the suggestions for movies!  There were some good ones.  Thanks also to all my Twitter peeps who sent in suggestions.  Our queue is now full.  Well, not full, but complete.
  • My favorite suggestion: Space Camp. Who remembers that movie?  Now who remembers that Joaquin Phoenix was in it?  Craziness.  So good in that 80′s dumb movie sort of way.  Anyway, it’s on the queue.
  • Speaking of movies, The Happening was soooooo bad.  But it led to this fun time for our friends.
  • My fantasy football team won two weeks in a row (that’s 4 games).  I’m so excited.  Of course, I forgot to pick up another Wide Receiver this week so I’m going to lose both of my games.  That’s how much I care.
  • Remember how my iBook’s battery is junk?  Well, now the harddrive is almost full too.  Should I buy an external drive or a new computer?  You tell me.
  • Time to go to church.  I have the “day off.”  Which means I’m not playing guitar.

How’s your Sunday?

Movies I Need To See

I need your help. You see, Sarah and I get movies from Blockbuster.com. As much as I encourage Sarah to log on and add movies to our queue, she doesn’t. Thus, we’ve got a queue heavy on “Boy Movies.”

So I need you–faithful readers–to help. What are the movies we MUST see? Keep in mind that that Sarah hasn’t seen most 80s and 90s hits because… I’m not really sure why. She just didn’t watch movies.

So there you go. Leave me a comment with your picks. Any time period. Any genre (on second thought, let’s keep it clean…). Even action and war movies are ok. I just want to know what YOU think is worth watching!

The Dark Buzz

This is probably the best mashup I’ve ever seen:

And it just makes me want to see The Dark Knight again and again and again…

Sunday Nap

I had a dream today.

I lived in London, worked at a music store, was starting a band, that also happened to be a firm.

It was beautiful.  Cheers mates!

Bachelor For a Weekend

Okay, I didn’t have a homecoming. My wife did. She spent this weekend in San Fransisco preparing for MacWorld at a teaching conference and I was left home alone. Now, I think I did a pretty good job at being a bachelor. I didn’t eat Top Ramen every meal or leave dirty dishes and underwear all over the house, but I still missed her a bunch. Here’s what it was like:

The Good:

  • I got to watch movies with more than 1 gun scene in them.
  • I got to eat lots of Mexican food.
  • I got to sleep in the middle of the bed.
  • I didn’t shave.
  • Green Bay won!

The Bad:

  • I didn’t have anyone to talk to about my movies.
  • Even really good Mexican take out doesn’t compared to homemade goodness
  • The bed was cold.
  • I didn’t shave.
  • New England won.

This weekend reminded me once again that I love spending time with my wife. I’m just not good at being alone anymore. She’s the best!
