Somewhere over the rainbow

Scrubs is by far one of my favorite shows on TV right now, and has been for several seasons. I could talk about the excellent character development, or the unique ability to play with silly sitcom things (angelic music/hair blowing in the wind/ridiculous lighting), but after watching a rerun I'm reminded of what I like most: the incredible writing.

The episode, "My Way Home", is absolutely hilarious, and a great homage to "The Wizard of Oz." I say all of this to say, I can't wait until Scrubs is back on the air.

V is for Very Interesting

I saw V is for Vendetta again last Friday night, at the Alamo no less, and again it ROCKED! There is so much to talk about with this movie, but I won't bore you with a complete run through of the plot. Suffice it to say that I find it very entertaining to be rooting for the the terrorist in this film.

On top of all of this, graphically, the Wachoski brothers have created a stunning film. The contrasts are clear between V and his accomplice Evey, and without a doubt in my mind Hugo Weaving has done a stellar job of acting given that he never shows even an inch of his real skin in this film. His ability to emote from behind the Guy Fawkes mask is so unmistakeable, so prevailing it's downright amazing.

If you haven't seen it yet, and you're not afraid of a film that will make you think about your role in this national process, and you aren't afraid of some very well done action sequences, I highly recommend V. Of course, you don't have to take my word for it...Take a look, it's in a book. A Reading Rainbow.

All work and no play...

Makes Jack a dull boy, and an ever growing dullness in his blog. I've actually been doing stuff lately, just forgetting to blog about my adventures.

We're 2/3 of the way through Wedding Season '06, and so far both have been stellar. One was back near home in St. Clair, MO which made for a long weekend of driving, and a great chance to catch up with college friends we haven't seen in a few years. Good times.

The second was here around Austin, and allowed friends now living in New England to come back for a brief stint, and again Good Times.

I guess the biggest news for me is that I'm getting involved in baseball (before the post-season) this year, and have begun to really enjoy watching as the St. Louis Cardinals start out what I hope will be a stellar season, but only time will tell. 154 games to go, and counting.
