The Best Thing

Erika is volunteering at a local church's food pantry tonight, so I fed the kids dinner, fed them, and put them to bed. As I was saying goodnight to Daniel, he said he wanted Erika to come and say goodnight (as he says every night when she is here). I… more »

A few of you already joined up but if you're up for some Fantasy Football you can join our league here. The password is Wildcat. The draft is Monday night but if enough people complain I might be willing to change it. more »

The City of Ember (2008 ... and the Book)

Reading a book not long before watching a movie can set one up for major disappointment. I know this, yet I set myself up by doing exactly that because I quite liked the book. I thought it was a great young-adult spin on a Logan's Run/Planet of the Ape… more »

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (2005)

Another night with the Agadonis brought another movie I've been meaning to see but never seen, even though people have been telling me to see it for a long time. I'm sorry, but I have a Netflix queue that's roughly 400 movies long, so when people tell m… more »

Things I Am Watching

This is the time of year you start hearing folks whining about how wish the fall TV season would start already. I firmly believe those days are over and those folks are missing out. When the networks take their holiday, cable networks step up and in ma… more »

communion meditation 8-22-10

So I was talking to a guy who asked me what it was about Christianity that appeals to me. I found it more difficult to answer this question than I thought I would. To answer it honestly anyway. This is what I came up with for him. I see the world t… more »

Muslim Community Center

If Muslims shouldn't build a community center in lower Manhattan because a few nutjobs from one sect of their religion committed grave crimes near there, then we shouldn't allow any churches to be built near schools because a few nutjobs from one sect of… more »

Fun with News RoundUp

There are a lot of things to love about our local TV station's news website: the spelling and grammar mistakes, the charmingly mundane stories, and the aneurism-inducing reader comments.But my favorite is the News RoundUp. This regular feature highl… more »

A Time to Change

Kitchen Tools: Magnetic Knife Rack Spice Rack

I live in a condo with a very compact kitchen and am always trying to find ways to save space. I had a double-tiered Lazy Susan in my pantry that was crammed full of spices. It was taking up precious pantry space, as well as getting so packed that it w… more »

Inception (2010)

I'm pretty sure I was going to say everything word-for-word as Nobody said it in his review (which he has yet to post online), but now that he's said it all, I can take a pass, right? He did notice some things I did, such as the comparison of Leo in… more »

The Book of Eli (2010)

Gary Oldman holds a lot of sway for me. He's one of my favorite actors, and as such, I have put up with a lot of bad movies just to see whatever brilliance he might perform. He has been a thickly-accented villain in a futuristic world, Lee Harvey Oswal… more »

You have to look at original intent on these things

I heard this story the yesterday about some Republicans who want to remove the part of the 14th amendment that automatically allows anyone born within the United States to be a citizen. I thought that conservatives are committed to preserving the cons… more »

Newport Folk Festival

One of my favorite things about All Songs Considered is their coverage of the big music festivals each year, especially the Newport Folk Festival. It will be a long time before I can actually attend (if ever), but I can experience the concerts vicarious… more »

The Girl Who Played with Fire (2010)

Hot off the tails of watching The Girl with a Dragon Tattoo, I accompanied my sister to see its sequel in the theater. It was packed. I'm still trying to figure out exactly what it is about these stories that attract the reader/viewer so much. To my d… more »

A Conservative With Conscience

I was intrigued to learn today about Republican congressman Bob Inglis, who recently lost a primary election largely because he refuses to pander to the Tea Party paranoia that has swept through his constituents. Among his crimes: telling people to "tur… more »

Happy birthday Danny!

Danny is thirty today. Welcome to the club. I say this every year, but brendoman.com and the rest of the family of sites wouldn't exist if it wasn't for Danny. That kind of thing bears repeating on a yearly basis. Hoorah. more »

Just Keep Moving

I would have posted more last week but I was moving. I still have one last load left. I moved back to Fullerton so I could be closer to work. Every move I tell myself this is the last time but that never really seems to be the case so maybe if I just… more »
