zombieland

i laughed, i snorted, i was giddy and entertained by this silverscreen unlikely...zombieland! woody harrelson is at the apex of his career in this performance. a redneck with an urban edge and undercurrent of humanity, harrelson's presence, tenor, and delivery are spot-on throughout this rumpus delight.

the protagonist, jesse eisenbergis a fantastic balance to the gruff harrelson. emma stone, from superbad fame, and little miss sunshine, abigail breslin, play a sister duo that balances out the cast.

enough over the top gore to satisfy even the dark humorist inside of us all. don't hesitate, get thee to thy theatre today.

madmen

a fantastic period television show, madmen. you feel like a fly on the wall during an era that is so philosophically and culturally different from the reality i know.
you can make your own character here/

to facebook or not to facebook

the dilemma of joining facebook or continuing to refrain from the social networking vortex has been a barrier that i have continued to follow the opt-out category. largely, the decision to maintain the opt-out status has been congruent with some of my hesitations for not wanting to opt-in--lack of free time.

yes, yes, poor excuse, alas a reality. i continue to be intrigued by the virtual-realm social diorama, however.

drips of google juice on the subject of social psychologists reaction to online social portals tantalized my curiosities with intriguing reports of the cogitative effects of facebook vs. twitter.

the other reasons i echo in my head of why i refrain from diving into the seeming abyss of f.b. disturb me for their neo-luddite lilts. in someway to spite this, i believe it is inevitable that i make the migration in the near future--once i carve out the time.

lakeside


a joyous time at lakeside amusement park last weekend. this entertainment venue has been operating for over a century and once passing through the gates was like a throwback in time. a wonderful experience.

ethiopian

in my humble opinion, ethiopian is one of the most delicious foods in all the land.kick it up with the spice, mushy comfort food with simple ingredients, and rolls of injera to tang the taste buds. mmmmm, mmmmm, good.
