It finally feels like Spring. The sky is blue, birds are chirping, and I woke up at 9am this morning to partake in my annual baseball fantasy league draft. Honestly, does it get any better than the hours preceding Major League Baseball’s Opening Day? I know It’s totally unhip to be excited about something as [...]

Woke up early this morning, and this horrible action movie was on HBO. Bruce Willis and Mos Def try to walk a dozen blocks in New York City without getting killed. Genius. The major villain is a crooked cop played by the same actor who played a crooked cop in The Negotiator, and a crooked [...]
