The other night as I was handing the homie Vernon his ass in Marvel vs. Capcom 2 I also had a chance to kind of halfway watch David Simon’s new show “Generation Kill” on HBO. Dude who played one of my favorite characters from the Wire (Ziggy played by James Ransone) is also on [...]

In Retrospect: Sideways
Way back in 2005, right before the Oscars, me and the homie Geoff realized we had seen very few of the films in contention (since then I’ve seen all except “Finding Neverland”). Little did we know we’d be walking into one of those movies that kind of changes your life. Err..I guess now [...]
A Great Weekend Marred By An Untimely Demise
First of all I have to say, I had one of the best weekends in a long, long, long time. The homie Geoff came to town, one of my favorite readers TT came to town. My ex (and future) wife Dara was in town. Melani, Calvin, Johnson, Cookie, etc. all came to [...]

Today was a good day. I talked to my good friend Mizzle. I haven’t talked to her in God knows how long so it was good catching up with her. I [...]
Musings on Batman
You know the ONLY bad thing about the “downtime” my site had was losing the Batman entry I wrote about that dumb ass kid who lost his head at Six Flags on the grounds of the Batman ride.
Batman is the last scion for D.C. Comics. He’s the only reason for their continued relevance as [...]
Run To The Hills
This summer is rapidly coming to a close, I know it seems silly to say that because today is pretty much the halfway point of July, but nowadays the summer is shorter than ever. Pretty soon it’ll be back to seeing patients, no more Kaplan, no more basic sciences, and the real countdown will [...]
