Close to Home…
Looking forward to being in the theatre the weekend of January 18. As I noted in my write up on I Am Legend, I do enjoy movies that have New York under attack (sick, I know). Cloverfield is looking like a fun ride! The poster is awesome… and I kind of think the destruction shown [...]

Wizards Win, Ordinals Lose (Big)
It was a better night for hockey last night since 1 of the 2 games was a winner.
The Wizards had a great win, 7-1, against the Hornets. This was a good victory for the Wizards to get since earlier in the season the Wizards gave the Hornets their first (and so far [...]
Sweeney Todd
Up front, let me say I don’t have a lot of baggage with Sweeney Todd. I saw the Broadway production when it aired on PBS in 1982, featuring Angela Landsbury and George Hearn and I liked it well enough though. In 2006, I saw, in person, the Broadway revival with Patti LuPone and Michael Cerveris [...]

About Header #5
Header #5 was shot on December 5, 2007 at the intersection of Wall St & Broad Street. Since Broad Street is closed to traffic, this Christmas tree sits in the middle of the street. The building on the right with the columns is the New York Stock Exchange. If you look close, you can see [...]

Before Jonathan Larson wrote Rent, he had written other works that had been tried out off- off-Broadway, including a one man show that chronicled his efforts to actually write a show. In 2001, David Auburn (writer of the Pulitzer Prize winning play Proof) adapted the one man show, turning it into a three-person play called [...]

The Golden Compass
Mix Harry Potter, The Chronicles of Narnia and Lord of the Rings together and suck all the emotion and life out of it and you just might get The Golden Compass. It’s sad really because I wanted to like this movie. The trailers gave hope for some new, great adventure. But it all felt like [...]

Gingerbread House
We made our first ever gingerbread house (and not just our first as a couple, but a first for either one of us). We got one of those basic kits and did some of the assembly last night and then more today.
The front and left panel were decorated by Will. Will also whipped up some [...]
Ice Show!
It is pretty well documented on this site that I like the mix of dancing and skating, as evidenced here, here and here. This morning High School Musical: The Ice Tour was featured on Regis & Kelly, which led me to see what I could find on YouTube about the tour. I hit the jackpot.

Juno
We’d heard the buzz about Juno for the past couple weeks and we dropped our $23.50 this morning to check it out for ourselves. It was a fantastic film! The film centers on 16-year-old Juno, who finds out she is pregnant as the film opens. She decides she’s going to give her baby up to [...]

No Christmas Cheer
So with the holidays falling on Tuesdays this year, there isn’t the usual time off right now. In fact, last night all three teams played so I got to spend the evening at the rink, which I, of course, enjoyed. Sadly all three games were losers for the teams.
