clock … watching time, the only true currency

OK. Fluff movie, I admit. I saw the first one, and was mildly amused. Rumors were that the second Tomb Raider movie was better than the first. Not exactly high standards, but I needed a break from a Sunday evening at the office. Film was about what I expected, but I did not expect to [...]

First Aubrey-Maturin movie? Saw a preview last night for Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, a movie coming in November. As far as I know, this is the first Aubrey-Maturin motion picture made, but I’m quite willing (eager, even) to be enlightened. Russell Crowe is starring as Lucky Jack. I don’t recognize [...]

Fatigue sets in Lots of different things come to mind when I think about this site, but my energy is quite directed right now at family and work, not always in that order, unfortunately. This site feels like a luxury. I’d prefer to create here, rather than simply comment, but opining on other’s work is [...]
