Peter Hentges became peevish with
Peter Hentges became peevish with me yesterday over my raging lack of website updatage. Fair enough. Still no time to replace that picture of Abby with some update of substance, so I'll add left columnage like a madman today.
In recent web-related news, Stacey turned me on to the really damn funny Jesus of the Week website.
In recent house-related news, Stacey and I finished installing the laminate flooring on the stairs to the basement last weekend, which marks the end of our flooring-related home improvement adventures. Which, unfortunately, leaves the painting. Blech.
In recent head-related news, I got a haircut.
In recent job-related news, I am really, really, really sick of (a) filing, and (b) scanning business cards.
In recent dog-related news, Abby went two days in a row (good girl!) without greeting dog-walker Shay with a squirt of submissive urination. We have very high hopes that Abby is finally coming around to men. (By the way, those of you in the Los Angeles area with dogs should check out The Pet Staff. They come with our highest recommendation. This is the way I'd run a pet care service, if I were a pet care service running type of guy.)
In recent script-related news, I've bailed on my never-ending rewrites of In Memory of Norton Barstow. I'm sick of re-writing and re-writing, because even when I finish it, no one's going to want to buy it.
In recent pet monkey-related news, I still have no pet monkey.
And now, for a slew of 25-word-or-less reviews:
The Bourne Identity in 25 words or less:
A very nicely plotted thriller based on a good concept, with fine action sequences. Highly recommended for the "thinking man's action movie" faction. Grade: A-
Osmosis Jones in 25 words or less:
A clever filmic conceit featuring texturiffic animation sequences with great depth of humor which are unfortunately let down by lame, idiotic live sequences. Grade: C+
Sexy Beast in 25 words or less:
Interesting and compelling characters, but disappointing plot-wise with occasional difficulty hearing through the accents. Style points for colorful humidity description. Grade: C+
Andy Richter Controls the Universe in 25 words or less:
Watch it. It's fucking hysterical. Best half-hour show on television. Grade: A-
