• Movie: The Wizard of Oz

    We all know this one so well that it is likely a waste of time for me to review it, but whatever, I feel like writing right now. Easily one of the best films ever made, and it is from 1939! The effects are pretty awful, but something I cannot put my finger on makes it oh-so immersive… Maybe the fact we grew up…

  • Movie: Zathura

    Sitting around the house on a lazy (after running half a dozen miles) Sunday afternoon, I discovered that TNT plays a lot of movies. I didn’t pay full attention (took a shower during a commercial), but I was able to catch the jist of the movie. (Note: If you couldn’t tell from the previews that it was a Jumanji set in space, you’re a…

  • Movie: No Man’s Land

    Meisha recommended this one and it finally came up in my queue. I didn’t know what to expect from a movie that is categorized as a comedy and is about the Bosnian War, but he claimed it was a great so I trusted him. Unlike the time he didn’t show for kickball, Meisha did not let me down; this was a very, very good…

  • I’ve run over 100 miles in July

    With 3 days (of running) remaining, I’m already at 104 miles. My previous high month was set last year, in prep for the half-marathon; a measly 78. With the few days that remain, I’ll be hitting ~115. Not too shabby considering I’ve only run ~50 for the past three months (34, 44, 59, 37, 25, 30, 17, 48, 49, 49 since the half). My…

  • I Felt Compelled

    … to note that in the third paragraph of this article, the Skins have already been touted a playoff team. We all know the drill; they’re the best team in the league during the postseason, but they’ve only actually been to the promised land un three of the past fifteen seasons. Some day it’ll get old, but for many Skins fans, the talk is…

  • Race: Bastille Day 4-Miler

    Made my way to this race at Fletcher’s Cove last night after work. It should be noted that this location is likely the most difficult place to get to in DC during rush-hour as it is on Canal Road, which is two lanes going only one way. To come from Arlington, you must take the Key Bridge, or go up Chain Bridge, cross over,…
