shares, "The aim of life is to live, and to live means to be aware, joyously, drunkenly, serenely, divinely aware." -Henry Miller

reminds you to pick up Inglourious Basterds at Best Buy because it comes with a bonus, one hour interview with Quentin and the NY Times!

loves a lazy Sunday morning!

hopes your weekend rocks!!

shares, "Life is far too important a thing ever to talk seriously about." -Oscar Wilde

shares, "The manner in which Americans ''consume'' music has a lot to do with leaving it on their coffee tables, or using it as wallpaper for their lifestyles, like the score of a movie --it's consumed that way without any regard for how and why it's made." -Frank Zappa

reminds Rush fans that their 30th anniversary tour film, R30, hits Blu-Ray today!!!

you gotta love a shipping error that gets you Harry Potter 6 on Blu-Ray a day before release!

Great music, amazing weather and a long, brisk walk with the 12 year old "puppy" made a perfect December morning!

shares, "Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life." -Berthold Auerbach

thought Four Christmases was a cute, contemporay Christmas flick...funnier than expected.

thought Terminator Salvation rocked on Blu-Ray! Now, if we could just get Fox into bring back The Sarah Connor Chronicles...and Firefly!
