An Ewok lover recently commented on my recent Star Wars post. She wanted to voice her approval for the furry little Ewoks (and also Muppets in general it seems.) I agreed with her sentiments that Muppet-Yoda is much more endearing than CGI-Yoda. And I have nothing personal against The Muppets per se (although I find…

Star Wars (Even with Luke’s incessant whining, this movie is in its own category. It broke the mold.) The Empire Strikes Back (Really this movie is my #1 pick since Star Wars is in its own separate category.) The Revenge of the Sith (Pretty dark, but very nice bridge between the old and new.) Attack…

Have you ever witnessed a camel being birthed? Ok, well, how about a breach birth? Was the camel white? Well, I can say yes to all three questions above. Some friends recommended a really great rental that Christa and I watched last night: The Story of the Weeping Camel. The movie was a very inviting…

Last night Christa and I finished watching the last episode of the first season of Arrested Development. This could be the most clever and funniest TV series I’ve ever seen. There were many scenes and one-liners that had me laughing out loud. I think the series was influenced quite a bit by director Wes Anderson’s…

This is awesome! After the Greatest Collapse in baseball history last season and the broken Curse of the Bambino tainting their resume, the 2005 New York Yankees have picked up exactly where they left off (i.e. losing big). They’re tied with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays in last place in the American League East. I…

Finally, Wallace & Gromit have a new movie on the horizon, The Curse of the Were-Rabbit. Everyone probably already knew this but me. (OK, who’s going to pirate a copy for me and ship it to Asia? Nevermind. My sources over there will probably be quicker…)

Do I get any prizes for picking the Tarheels to win it all in my first bracket? And I quote: "For me, Yeti Bracket #1 has Oklahoma State, Wake Forest, North Carolina, and Duke with the Tarheels winning it all over the Demon Deacons… I guess I’m putting a lot of faith in the ACC,…

OK, I promise this post isn’t a devotional, but there are some heavy spiritual ramifications of this event I’m about to share with you. It’s Opening Day for Major League Baseball. (That’s nothing special. I’m getting to it…) And I know it’s way too early to make any kind of predictions how the season will…

University of Loser-ville (I’ve done a lot of dishing out this March, and now I’m ready for the backlash… Just leave your taunts and I-told-you-so’s in the Comments…) My observations: Louisville was simply outplayed, outscored, and outcoached by Illinois! Fransisco Garcia didn’t show up for the game! Rick Pitino should have changed the defense to…

This year’s March Madness has brought about a mental "renaissance" of sorts regarding my (now long gone) basketball era of life. In the late eighties, at the height of this era, it was not uncommon to see my friend Marcus and I pounding our Floridian driveway with basketballs, throwing down the Rock violently through lowered…
