Movie: Hangover 2
<p>Thanks to my good friend Molly, I’m lucky to see a handful of movie premiers each year. The latest? <a href=”http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1411697/”>The Hangover: Part II</a>. Was I excited to see it? Yes. Was I going to think it’d be better than the second coming? No; I didn’t think <a href=”http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1119646/”>the first</a> was a bad movie, but […]

I’m back on Twitter
<p><a href=”http://www.iammike.org/index.php?misc=search&subaction=showfull&id=1236270226&archive=&cnshow=news&ucat=2&start_from=”>Back in early 2009</a>, I gave <a href=”http://www.twitter.com”>Twitter</a> a shot. I lasted a handful of days before I realized it was information overload. It still might be, but any tech that has been as popular as it is for as long as it has been is clearly doing something right.</p> <p>It’s possible that it’s […]

Two Movies You Need to Watch: Oldboy and This is England
<p>Both are available via Netflix streaming.</p> <p><a href=”http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0364569/” target=”_blank”>Oldboy</a> is what I like to call a “mind-f*” film. My favorite type. Fight Club, Memento, and others of that type fall into this category. It’ll leave you wowed. It’s a Korean film so you’ll be reading subtitles, but Heather and I agreed it was very nearly […]

My Favorite Things of 2010
<p>Last year, I read some books, watched some movies, played some games, went some places, listened to some music, ate around, and drank some stuff. The following are a few of my favorite things this year:</p> <p>Books</p> <ol> <li> <meta charset=”utf-8″/><a href=”https://www.amazon.com/dp/0307266303?tag=mikeylikesit-20&camp=213381&creative=390973&linkCode=as4&creativeASIN=0307266303&adid=07K665HXAC6YS6M23PDR&” style=”color: rgb(0, 51, 153); “>Born to Run</a> </li> <li>I guess I didn’t love […]

Movie: The Expendables
<p>I have to give Sly credit, he put together a monster cast. It’s for this reason I even added <a href=”http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1320253/” target=”_blank”>this film</a> to my queue; it didn’t receive the best of reviews, but still, a 6.8 on IMDB? That’s perfectly watchable, especially when you grew up with these guys in all your action flicks.</p> […]

Watching the Boob
<p>For an unknown reason, my TV viewing has skyrocketed in the past month or so. Interestingly, I’ve also put on a handful of pounds. Hrm. Will need to work on that.</p> <p>Anyway, I just finished watching <a href=”http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0384766/”>Rome</a>. The series depicts the lives of the ordinary man and the aristocracy in the late BC period. […]
