Slumdog Millionaire-Mini-review
Technorati Tags: movies What an entertaining flick! This movie uses a rather unique plot device, where a young man gets a chance to be on a game-show and the questions he has to answer directly correlate to some memorable, tragic, funny, brutal events in his life. It is a road movie, a buddy picture, a love story, a tragedy. The cinematography will take your breath away as it portrays the beauty in the grit, grime and... (more...)
What’s for Lunch?
Working on the Microsoft Campus in Redmond, there are many lunch spots within a reasonable driving distance. Here are a few of my favorites: Pepperoni Pizza at Pizza Schmizza @ RTC, drop a tip in the jar, and the crew will yell “wooHoo”. Pad-Z-Ew at NoodleLand, Redmond. Try the Thai Ice-Tea and Fresh rolls. Barbacoa beef burrito at Chipotle Mexican Grill. With Black Beans, of course. JJBLT with Cheese at Jimmy Johns. Turkey,... (more...)
I need help!! With my Laundry!
I am single. I live alone in a one bedroom apartment. Luckily my apartment comes supplied with a full size washer and dryer set. But there is on problem: I don’t think I know how to use it. You have your darks and whites. Right? You put your darks in on warm, and whites in on warm and dry, right?

It may have been decades before I was born, but I still miss them all the same. I believe the music didn’t die that day, but lives on within the songwriters and musicians that were influenced by them. So dust off your old 45’s, play a little Peggy Sue, La Bamba, ... (more...)

My coach and teammates called me leggsie during my junior high football and track and Field years. At one time I sang a Barry Mannilow song while playing the piano, and actually enjoyed... (more...)
Really Short Random Story: Purple Dog
Isolation, desolation. The furry purple dog wandered onto the ice, miles from the icy lakeshore. Not a scent, nor odor, nothing. Cold breath fogs the eyesight. She sees nothing but white air and blue green slick ice. Still no scent. Hours and hours she wanders the ice. Slip sliding. Paw pads freezing. She stops. Freezes. Tail up. Nose up. She smells squirrel. Running, running following the lone scent. She reaches... (more...)

A man, body beat and broken, once famous, goes jogging in the woods behind his home. He only goes a short distance when he can no longer go any further. He must sit down beside a tree to grab his breath…. At this point in the movie I am inside this man’s heart and soul. I can feel his pain, his weakness, his loneliness! After going through a rough hardship, there is no one but himself. ... (more...)
