Today’s Netflix pick was Ingmar Bergman’s The Seventh Seal. (If you’ve never heard of it, chances are you’re at least somewhat familiar anyway. It’s the film with the iconic premise of a chess match with a personification of Death.) I’m not really sure why I’m even bothering review it, because I really don’t have a [...]

The Simpsons Movie (That is supposed to be me as a Simpsons character, courtesy of simpsonizeme.com) First, I saw The Simpsons Movie. This is only about the third time that I’ve [...]

A while ago, I wrote this post on the 2008 presidential race and global warming (yes, I should have made it two posts instead of awkwardly jamming two topics together).

In fact, she was so impressed that she had my high school nominate me for the New Jersey Governor’s School of [...]

Netflix In high school, in my AP English Literature class, we had an amazing teacher. To this day, when people from that class meet up, we debate whether he was the greatest genious in modern history, or a run-of-the-mill nut. I’m leaning towards the former, but I’m open to persuasion. Regardless, as we learned in [...]

First of all, I’d like to apologize to my dear friend Dan Dean’s dear ladyfriend, EMILY, for refering her simply as, “Dan’s ladyfriend,” instead of “Dan’s ladyfriend, Emily,” the time I posted about the time Dan and his ladyfriend, Emily, came to visit. I’m very sorry. Today’s Netflix was Dark Days, a documentary about homeless [...]
