cheeseball
It’s been kind of a long week, so it wasn’t surprising that last night after we got home, we kicked off our shoes, found a couple of cocktails and settled in to the most comfortable furniture in our Little Red House to watch Rio Bravo. I’m sure something’s wrong with the commas in that sentence,… Read.

Elysium
The movie Elysium begins with a flashback. You can tell because it has the slightly out-of-focus, off-color look of an Instagram shot and the dialog sounds like you’re hearing it from the far end of a tunnel. The flashback introduces you to Max and Frey and shows you that they were childhood sweethearts. It also… Read.

buffering
We finally got a television. And so far, we’re disappointed. Mostly because it doesn’t play internet shows like we thought it would, but first things first: We ordered a new television from Amazon last week. They didn’t deliver it by drone, so there’s the first disappointment. Coming home to a drone-delivered television set would’ve been… Read.
