Maybe You’re a Shitty Cameraman
Gotta love Matt Damon’s responses to these questions:

July 2011 Viewing
Super 8 – fun, loud, full of explosions and great acting from the kids; too many lens flares
Bridesmaids – fun and funny, great cast
Bleu – reminds one of why great films are great
White Noise 2 – horrible, atrocious, terribly cynical, but Nathan Fillion and Katee Sackhoff made it necessary to watch
Withnail & I – crazy, funny, odd; fans of Richard Grant or Paul McGann should definitely check it out
Anatomy of Hell – not a horror movie, though some very disturbing scenes. ah, the french and their sexual explorations
Zombie Women of Satan – cheap, silly, not worth watching really, except Victoria Hopkins totally caught my eye and her character, Skye Brannigan was kind of cool . . . at least on a hypothetical level

Broken, Part 1
I’ve been putting off writing this essay all day because I am rather frightened of putting these thoughts into words and putting those words out to the world. But I have done nearly all my other work for the day and I need to maintain my current goal of writing 500 words every day. So, …
In Case You Forgot
Lyle Lovett is awesome. If you haven’t listened to him lately, you should.
If you’d rather the original video, it’s not embeddable but you can click here for it.

Of Course I Bought OS X Lion on the First Day
Because some times you just have to be who you are, and I’m the type of person who likes new operating systems and playing with new ways of doing things and futzing around with settings on the computer. I mention this not to seem special or especially adventurous, but to let my readers know that …
Once More with the Project 365
Those who follow me on Facebook or happen to regularly check my Flickr account might have noticed that I started a new Project 365 on my birthday. For those who aren’t aware, Project 365 is an attempt to take a photograph for each and ever day of a year. I did one when I turned …
As Simple as a Breeze
Yesterday was probably one of the most lovely days I’ve experienced in Pittsburgh since moving here nearly a year ago. Bright, but not hot, a lovely breeze that lasted the entire day instead of dying a still, sullen death in the early afternoon leaving the air to stagnate and stultify as it does most summer …
