Seven Good Things in Life — plus an Award

I was tagged with the meme, Seven Good Things in Life, by fellow Blogpower member, Grendel whose own answers included the wonderful word trencherdom, which greatly tickled my fancy. I think he made it up, but, as I said in a recent post, trencherman is a word that I use on occasion, so I was happy to see that I was not the only one who appreciates it. But getting down to brass tacks here: 1. Chocolate. What can I say? I’ve written before about it being the Achilles’ heel of JMB. But I’ve given

The Church of the One True Scrapper

And while on the subjest of religious affiliation. . . I note that members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints more conveniently called ‘Mormons’ are very, very fond of Genealogy. They certainly have extensive databases dedicated to collecting and recording family details. Thus it should be no surprise at all that they also feature heavily in the scrapping world. In fact the Mormon Church seems ready made for scrapbooking with large families, acceptance of technology Amish sc

The book is always better

Based on what I’d heard, I thought I had lowered my expectations accordingly to watch Beowulf. What I really should have done was completely jettison all expectations and jab myself in the eye with a fork. I think the photorealistic animation used in the movie kind of defeats the whole purpose of animation. Give me something like the people in The Incredibles any day. They’re recognizably human, but the animation medium is so flexible that it’s really rather silly not to take advantage of i. T

Beowulf

****?? Beowulf. Action/adventure. Directed by: Robert Zemeckis. Starring: Ray Winstone, Robin Wright Penn, Anthony Hopkins, John Malkovich, Angelina Jolie We saw this at the Hercules. I was prepared to dislike it after reading the reviews and discovering it was computer animation. For me, the uncanny valley tends to be a big problem–computer animated people tend to not just look unreal, but to look horribly creepy. My kids assure me that playing lots of video games would solve that problem

Over myself

I??m not a morning person in the same way that Grendel isn??t a people person. Either combination is equally unfortunate for mead halls and chipper four-year-olds. I didn??t realize this about myself until after Ian was born and weaned, when my wife confessed that she let me sleep through the nights because I was such a jerk when woken. I??ve tried to learn patience and exercise a little self-control, but neither is easy at the best of times, let alone at four in the morning with a sleep-addled bra

Stranger Than Fiction

What if I told you that back in the mid-90s, the most influential local television station in the country was basically run by a bunch of drugged-up kids that several members of the staff regularly engaged in a weekend ritual of drinking, ecstasy use and sex without boundaries that this behavior would eventually lead to one man betraying his best friend, the very public break-up of an office marriage and the tragic and mysterious death of a popular young producer?

Movie Log: Beowulf

So I’m watching Beowulf tonight, just to see if it lives up to its reputation. And, so far, it does — it’s melodramatic in all of the worst ways, full of the most blatant dick jokes, intensely silly, and the best object lesson in the Uncanny Valley I’ve ever seen. I’ve got posts on two other movies half-way finished, but I see no reason to waste valuable time thinking about this movie. So I’ll type a bit as the movie goes on, and post this once it’s done. The physics is rotten in this film t

EBR fever

I admit it. I’ve got EBR fever. I want an AR-15 but not in .223. Either .308 or something more esoteric like the 6.8 SPC or 6.5 Grendel. However, I need to be able to buy ammo in bulk. I’m more for function over form kind of guy. If I can shoot 5&quot groups offhand at 100 yards, I’m more than perfectly happy with it. However, like always, I’m broke. So I was looking at kits from Model 1 Sales. Anyone have any thoughts about kits like this? I found Ko-Tonics had a lower for 150 for the 6.8, but

Junior Grendel Number one, is six, and going on 40. Tonight he came down to where I am working and told me about his recurring nightmare involving a scorpion. It woke him and me at 4 AM this morning and I put him back to bed with a bright green glow stick to keep the scorpion away. I asked him what he wanted to do about the nightmare. &quotOh, dad, I just want to communicate with you&quot says he. After a little chat, and the preparation of an anti-scorpion glow stick, he was back off to bed. Never

Beowulf - 4

When criticizing the adaptation of this ancient tale, the writers of this version have beat the critic to the punch. Neil Gaiman and Roger Avary are clear that this is there version of what they consider to be an ever evolving text. Since the original was passed down orally and then copied repeated by monks with paper and ink, Avary and Gaiman claim that personal edits are an inherent part of this particular story. So if you are going to dislike the film for this reason you’ll want a degree in

Diane Scout’s mom tagged me for a meme that uses your middle name. I’m glad I have a middle name. Not all dogs have them. My middle name is Poppy. It’s because of some silly video game The Alpha used to play, but it’s also nice that a poppy is a flower. And around our house, it means a puppy, but all grown up. Here are the rules: 1. You have to post the rules before you give your answers. 2. You must list one fact about yourself beginning with each letter of your middle name. If you don’t
