Blog Break
I have done only three posts all week long. So, yeah … I guess you can say that I am on a wee bit of a blog break. More soon …
Last Night
Franke and I give “The Last King of Scotland” two thumbs up!
Before the movie we got to see the trailer for “Notes on a Scandal” which is going to open this Friday. Damn. That movie looks like it’s gonna be good.
Lite-Brite Aftermath
Turner Broadcasting Systems and a marketing company have agreed to pay $2 million compensation and apologize for their advertising campaign that caused a widespread terrorism scare, the attorney general said Monday.
The agreement with several state and local agencies resolves any potential civil or criminal claims against Turner and Interference Inc., said Attorney General Martha Coakley.

So, the city of Boston if gonna get a cool $2 million for their complete and utter stupidity. This just makes me sick.
“Out of the Woods”
Hot damn. I can’t even begin to tell you how excited I am to hear that a solo album from Tracey Thorn (singer, etc. of Everything but the Girl) will be out within two months. “Out of the Woods” will drop in Europe on March 5th and in will hit the U.S. on March 20th. This is so rockin’ … ’cause it took almost a year for the Cardigans’ new album to make it across the pond and Goldfrapp’s “Supernature” took it’s sweet time too. Anyhoo. I have been in love with Tracey’s song writing and singing for quite some time now. Check the first single, “It’s All True.”
Tracey Thorn – It’s All True [9.79MB]
Lite-Brite Attack!
Call me jaded … but it does seem true that people have lost all their of common sense. It totally amazes me that what basically amounts to a glorified Lite-Brite sign brought Boston to its knees the other day. I mean, honestly! Does this thing even look like a bomb or crafty terrorist plot?
“Deathly Hallows” Date!
Oh … hell yeah!
Storm Warning
How damn depressing. The weather forecasters have, again, gotten it wrong here in the mountains. I woke up this morning to a light dusting of snow on the ground but all that is gone now. It’s turned to rain … and now the blue sky is starting to show through the clouds. Dammit! It doesn’t looks we are going to get any real snow this winter. Fuck those people that say global warming isn’t happening … ’cause it is.
Tomorrow

The Weekend/Photos
So, I took a wee road trip this past weekend to High Point to visit W., that cute new fella I have been chasing. Well, actually, I think we have technically been chasing each other. We had a nice time kicking around, eating food, watching movies and playing with his Wii. After the jump you can see some more photos. Continue reading “The Weekend/Photos”
