In this quick deleted scene from SUPERMAN: THE MOVIE, the reporters who have been watching Superman save Lois and the falling helicopter from crashing down are arguing over what just happened. I’m like: ”What’s the big deal? A man in a blue skintight suit just jumped into the air and defied gravity. A lot. Yeah, […]

roadtrip: pittsburgh 2005
This past weekend I drove to Pittsburgh with two buddies of mine. We left Friday at 1 PM and took a straight shot on the Pennsylvania Turnpike to The Iron City with no stops. My driving was only mildly scary to the passengers — which is a good thing to hear. Personally I thought I […]
feeling catty
On Superman’s first night out protecting Metropolis, he spots a cat burglar scaling the side of a tall building. This extended sequence features said burglar passing a seemingly oblivious late night worker. My bet is that Donner took this out because the suction cups are making so much noise and it’s not believable that the […]
portal
I have been going through a lot of my older disks and archiving them on my harddrive as of late. I technically have enough content from as far back as 1987 that I can backfill my blog. I’m trying to save some money so hanging out at home and totally not doing anything seems to […]
last appointment
Seeing as how I have way too much time to write about anything, I figure I’ll give you a LASIK update. I had my last appointment for the year when I was in Houston for my court appearance. They told me I didn’t have to come back until 2006. My vision is 20/15 with both […]
waiting gamesters
I’m getting used to weather delays. It’s 7:20 PM (probably eastern time) here at Bush Intercontinental Airport Terminal E. My flight is delayed. Actually, we have to wait until 8:30 PM before we can get ”more info.” I don’t know what the info is going to be, but I hope it’s worth the wait. Chew […]
on board
So, I’m sitting on the plane and typing in four point font so the guy sitting next to me cannot see anything that I’m typing. Pain in the ass. He hasn’t been so bad, but I am constantly aware of the violations he makes into My Personal Space. Right now it’s not so bad, but […]
screen test
I’m leaving Philly for Houston this afternoon. I get a whole weekend this time. Not much else to report other than a busy workweek and two serious training sessions. My weight is stuck at 168 pounds so I’m a little depressed about that, but I guess that’s still way better than the 147 pounds I […]
recovery
Friday night I had some friends over to hang out in the city. First, we hit up some Northern Liberties bars — The 700 Club and The Standard Tap to be specific. Good times, but like the U2 song says, they just didn’t have what we were looking for. We headed south towards Market and, […]
guessing game
I was listening to NPR on my drive home. The London terrorist bombings were all the news and it was very much the subject for the entire length of my drive. At one point the host introduced Jessica Stern, Malkin professor of public policy at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard. I wish I’d […]
