I think we can all agree that the "baddest" Santa in movie history was Billy Bob in the aptly named Bad Santa. I mean duh. But this got me thinking about other bad Santas that have popped up here and there. I'll get to them in a bit. Let me take a minute, though to... Continue Reading →
Oh the humanity! It's that time of year again. Time to see the family you've ignored all year, eat a metric ton of food, watch lousy football from the decaying NFL and enjoy all two of the classic Thanksgiving TV shows. There's the episode of Cheers that ends in a food fight and the immortal... Continue Reading →
One of my favorite memories from youth was watching movies with the family in our basement. We had one of the very first big screen TVs down there. That thing had a separate five foot high screen and a huge glassed topped box for projecting the image. Nowadays you can get a far superior projector... Continue Reading →
At last, the Death Star *my living room* is fully operational. All nine of my speakers (plus the .1) now emit sound. For the last year or so I had a 9.1, or as it's better known a 7.1.2 set up in the living room. However, the Yamaha receiver was only capable of sending signals to... Continue Reading →
When "Sideways" came out I was just starting to discover the joy of wine. There was going to be not one, but two coolers for storing my collection of fine vintages.

Living as close as we do to TD Bank Ballpark, the Somerset Patriots have been a big part of our lives despite the fact we had only gone to one game in the six years since moving here in 2010. We drive past the ballpark almost every single day. When the lights are on, they... Continue Reading →
After careful consideration I have decided to watch The Untouchables this evening. It's free when you use your friend's Hulu login. I pay for it, but I'm just saying. It's 1930, it's Chicago and it's the time of Al Capone. How good was Robert De Niro back in those days? The eighties I mean, not... Continue Reading →
If anyone is currently considering a bathroom remodel, I strongly recommend you think about it. Do you really need to do this right away? I mean, I knew we would be without the use of the upstairs bathroom for some time. However, it's dragging on a bit longer than anticipated. On top of that, I... Continue Reading →
Over the past few years my sports viewing habits have changed dramatically. The NFL continues on its path of self-destruction and suck. Meanwhile, I've discovered the joy of watching soccer (let's all agree to call it soccer for the purposes of this discussion). I used to be a very casual fan of the sport. Every... Continue Reading →
