joe and i took his nephews to see the killers at madison square garden this past saturday.  they so rocked!

i found some amazing pics from the show on flickr.  enjoy!

fall from grey's

okay.  not doing so well with the monday-wednesday-friday updates but i'm getting there.  i'll have to do a little more prep work ahead of time to keep up but, until then, i'm trying to deliver with short little posts.

something i wanted to write about for awhile:  i was so wrong about "grey's anatomy."  okay, maybe it used to be a good, even a great, show, a little over a year go, around the time of the code black episodes.  i even mourned the loss of denny duquette and was so ready for the beginning of the third season and to see meredith suffer through another six-months of angst-ridden hand-wringing over how to do the right thing for herself.

within two or three episodes of this season, all the dramatic tension and build-up from the end of last season was gone — squandered! — and somewhere between derek and meredith's third and fourth break-up & make-up sessions, this show started veering drastically off course.  the number of ups-and-downs george and callie alone have had in this one season annoys me to no end.  the writers seem to have locked onto one definition of drama — shuffling their characters through a series of romantic entanglments and mishaps — in order to keep the story moving apace while foregoing any meaningful or interesting character development.  despite the constant churn of who's flirting with/kissing/sleeping with whom, i'm now completely bored.  the quirky charm of these characters has simply evaporated.

so...yeah.  eric dane is definitely still a hottie, but that's about all "grey's" has going for it now.  this show sucks.  i take back what i said before — don't watch it.   as far as thursdays go, i'm happier watching "the office" and "30 rock."  (gotta love that tina fey.)

adventure time

(a little late with this entry.  tomorrow's will be on time.)

probably one of the coolest cartoons i've ever seen, if not THE coolest. 

jake the dog is voiced by john dimaggio, the same guy who plays bender on futurama.

MATHEMATICAL!!!

shirt folding

just saw this online and thought it was pretty nifty.  i'm gonna try this when i get home.

krasinski

joe and i both have big crushes on john krasinski — or, perhaps more accurately, his character, jim halpert, on nbc's the office.  cutie cutie cutie!

american doll posse

a friend of mine alerted me to tori amos' upcoming album release, american doll posse.  very much looking forward to this.  i just downloaded two of her live/bootleg covers from iTunes to tide me over.

bonecrusher again

more transformers pics.  from the promo shots, it looks like bonecrusher is getting a lot of airtime as the main baddie, although i think i spotted starscream in the t.v. trailer. 

i'm very curious to see how many of the original decepticons are included in this incarnation of the story.  i'm guessing that the giant robots who transform into human-proportional hand guns and audio cassette players will be omitted entirely, which will be somewhat of a letdown — although the size shifts are beyond believable, those were some of my favorite characters from the animated series.

*sigh!*  i have way too strong an emotional attachment to these robots.  very much looking forward to seeing this movie, even with shia leboeuf as spike.

whoo!

i'm in love with this commercial!

a month and a half left

i'm gonna be an uncle!  again! 

(i already have a furry four-legged niece, also pictured above.)

baby joe

awwwww!  my bf was a cutie cutie cutie!  (still is, too!)

happy april 1st!  a good day to announce that i'm starting to update my blog again because no one will take me seriously. 

seriously, though, i am starting again.  and i hope to update with more frequency than once a month, though i'm not making any promises.

anyhow, for anyone who has been checking in at all, thanks!  and please drop me a line. 

more soon!
