Earlier we, you and I dear reader, had talked earnestly about launching an uber local news resource. Well, dear reader, that time has come: WotBN.net Thus far, WotBN will provide you with succulent news bites and a succinct schedule of events focusing on our neighborhood — get excited. The idea behind a community driven news [...]
I’ve decided to enter an Oscar pool with three fellow bloggers (whom I actually know IRL): Justin, Susan, and Wife (whom I really know in IRL, IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN). Other than watching a butt-ton of movies I am pretty dull about them. I wouldn’t say I have a dearth of movie related [...]
John has been on my case to start a neighborhood news blog/resource like CHPN for quite a while now. It took someone else getting excited about starting something like that for Carytown / Museum District to get me excited. Consider it: on. The site should go live within the next few days — to preempt [...]
RMSzero and I ventured out of the (relative) safety of the city limits to catch a flick at the Short Pump Move Complex. Aside: Isn’t it odd that when you live inside the city limits you feel more comfortable among bums and transvestitutes than rent-a-cops and soccer mom’s that insist on driving while chatting it [...]
Moisturizing at a young age is important. Nothing shocks you into the reality of growing old like a poorly lit Judi Dench. I swear I saw Bear Grylls frantically searching for drinking water in one of those canyons. Cate Blanchette is hott. Cate Blanchette is so smokin’ hott Superman dumped her ass for melting the [...]
WTF? Can anyone tell me what is happening here? Technorati Tags: sports, Virginia, Virginia Tech, wtf
We all know that I love Lee-Jackson day. It is a holiday uniquely Virginian and maybe my second favorite holiday (next to Thanksgiving, duh). Obviously that makes me a raving racist right? RIGHT? Anyway. For today’s Lee-Jackson day celebration the Sons of Confederate Veterans had a small gathering at Lee Circle with some speechifying and [...]
Someone in my wife’s family has recently decided to update their will and name my wife and her two sibling as executers of said will. That’s execute like autoexec.bat not like Pol Pot. Anywhoo some typical family drama ensued about who is going to to do what to whom (btw, I am still getting used [...]
I love Netflix and I talk about it a lot — because let’s face it, I love love love it. Sometimes I’ll hear about people who have broken up with Netflix because their relationship had grown cold and loveless. They’d get home from work, eat their teevee dinners and never touch one another. This breaks [...]
Seen in front of Davis and Main. Awesome? Technorati Tags: wtf
Dear Ohio State, I’m sorry that the Florida Gators and Urban Myer made you look like a bunch of chumps. I am also sorry that “the best player in college football” went 4 of 14 for 35 yards and an interception. Maybe you should give your big heavy trophy to Adrien Peterson — since he [...]
Me and roundball generally aren’t the best of friends. But any time VT scores a win over a top 5 team in any sport I get excited. I think Duke:Basketball::Miami:football for the Hokies. As in WE WILL OWNz YOU 4 LIFE. Or not. But seriously Hokie basketball!. Also check out this sweet image:
Casablanca I loved this movie. I never realized how many famous lines came out of this film. ***** A Streetcar Named Desire Why aren’t movies magical anymore? ***** Kiss Kiss Bang Bang You had me at hello RDJr. **** Hotel Rwanda How did I miss this guy speaking at Chop Suey last year!? **** Fullmetal [...]
If you didn’t watch last nights Fiesta Bowl between Oklahoma and Boise State you missed the single best football game of all time. Go download it from iTunes this very second. Or you can just wait until Disney makes a movie about it called “The Little Broncos.” If I were a Boise State fan I’d [...]
