    You can bring you’re mother to the exam if she’s not a patent attorney.

  • Movie: Spider Man 3

    I saw Spider-man 3 last night and was disappointed. Not because the movie wasn’t good, but because it failed to capture my imagination. I wasn’t drawn into a state of disbelief to a point where I actually thought a man in a spider suit doing flips around NYC was entertaining.

    I left questioning whether action hero movies can still entertain me, which makes me sound lame. I want to be entertained by superheroes. I want to want to play ninja like I did after seeing the original TMNT movies years ago – jumping around in the woods with a stick hitting things and screaming, “Cowabunga.”

    I’m hoping there isn’t a sequel, and I will think a lot harder about paying to see another action hero movie. Sad, but true.

  • OneWord: Seduce

    The strawberry frosted doughnut seduced me. I was at the grocery store for milk, and the great big Dunkin’ Donuts display winked a giant pink frosted wink at me… two doughnuts and a large coffee. Who wouldn’t be seduced?

  • OneWord: Partnership

    The partnership was formed at high noon on a dusty street in a small town in Texas that isn’t on the map, so don’t bother lookin’.

  • Meme: 5 Sites

    Five sites I visit everyday are:

    1. Google Homepage, which has my rss reader, calendar, and todo list on it.

    2. Popurls.com, but only the top three columns, which are the top Digg stories, the top del.icio.us stories, and the top Reddit stories.

    3. Oneword.com, which prompts you with a new word each day and gives you sixty seconds to write about it.

    4. Flickr.com to look at the most interesting pictures of the last seven days. I can flip through these endlessly. Fun images.

    5. Twitter.com, lately. It’s kindof addicting.

  • OneWord: Late

    “One hour late, one too many times.” That’s what the note on the scratched table said. He crumpled it and tossed it on the floor, opened the fridge and grabbed a beer. Sigh.

  • Big Sky Today

    Big sky today. The clouds billowed as far as I could see, and their white highlights and black lowlights edged the gray centers that spilled into the light blue voids. It reminded me of late fall, but there was no chill or possibility of snow. It was just big. I wanted to get out of my car and stretch my arms and breath deep. I wanted to jump and see how close I could get to the soft gray edges, but why today when the clouds are bigger and higher than ever?
