End of Silence

For all you Helmet fans out there, there’s apparently still hope that Page Hamilton will eventually release something in the not too distant future. I found this article about Charlie Clouser (Nine Inch Nails) from April. He’s not only been working with Page, but he’s also involved in the much rumored Tapeworm project that includes [...]

Today, I offer up two articles out of New York.
The first is a truly engrossing account from the NY Times (free registration required) of what went on in the World Trade Center before and during the plane crashes on 09.11. It’s emotionally difficult to read at times, but it really gives a more human face [...]

Here’s a pretty interesting article on why we like the books that we do. The article seems to lose focus part of the way through, but he does bring up some interesting points. I can’t get through “The Sound and the Fury” and I found “Turn of the Screw” excruciating, although I did actually finish [...]

The ultrasound photos of the new baby are finally posted. You’ll find them linked under The Boy in the menu. Thanks to Stepan for the use of his scanner. We’re now having heated name debates. I may put up a poll with the finalists in the near future, so be on the lookout for [...]

I know what you’re all here for, so I guess I’ll just come out and say it. It’s…….a……….girl!
We actually weren’t too surprised. This pregnancy has gone quite differently than the first, so we figured that it was a girl. She’s got all the right parts in all the right places and the due date is [...]

The title of this post is appropriate for two reasons:

This. All I have to say is, “It’s about time,” and who ever thought I’d be anticipating the arrival of something on TNN.
The other reason is an amusing The Boy anecdote. The Wife called me at work yesterday as usual after picking The Boy up from [...]

Well, it’s started again and the reviews are pouring in. This is a perfect segue to get you to check out the Paul Tatara movie review page that I’ve set up. There’s now a recent reviews section that includes a link to his review of AoTC. There’s also an interesting article in today’s Austin American [...]

Check this out. Then read the appropriate response from the Denver Post. Unbelieveable.

Some of you have already noticed that you can’t access any of the The Boy stuff anymore. I’ve moved it all to another area of the site that will require user registration and my approval to view. I’m doing this because there’s a good chance that the site will be getting a lot more traffic [...]

Once again, the picture of the week lives up to it’s name. Check out the new one.
We’ve scheduled the ultrasound for the new baby on the 21st (a week from tomorrow).
In sad news, my Great Aunt Cora died on Friday. It was quite unexpected, so my relatives in England are having a rough time. [...]
