So, someone wants to buy OakMonster.com from me. No. He did not send a legal or formal request. Just an email. I said no. Then he asked how much. I said no again. Then he tried to patronize me. Nice way to ask to ask someone to sell, bro. I would’ve given it some more thoughts. But man, I hate it when people are rude. I was the only OakMonster in town until someone went and coined the wine term. Or the term for the Oakmont golf course. And, of course, long before someone went and tried to make a...

As we were watching a documentary on a few ways that humanity could come to an end. You know, massive volcanic eruption. Nuclear War. Global Warming. That kind of thing. They mentioned asteroid collisions of the worst kind. Me: I’d totally go wait right there where the asteroid is going to hit. I’d rather having us die right there on the spot than ending having to eat each other…you know, not in a sexual way. Brandon laughs. Me: I mean, seriously though. I don’t want to suffer through the whole aftermath. I’d rather go with the first blow. Brandon: And...

Council chairman Wiriya Namsiriphongphan was responding to queries from PPP members on the way deaf people referred to party leader and Prime Minister Samak...

Remember last year? Well, I’m doing it again this year. Join me, movie freaks, at The Block at Orange on Saturday, February 23, for 12+ hours of this year’s Oscar Best Pictures nominees! Last year, the place was packed to the gill, so I plan to be at the theater early to camp out seats. More than likely, I’ll be by myself. Again. Who’s with me!?!...

I didn’t get to to quite the housekeeping goal I dreamed up on Saturday morning. Nor did we see Cloverfield. Upon arriving at the theater, there was a sign that says, “Camera movement in Cloverfield may cause motion sickness.” And suddenly Brandon was reminded of how much he despises the shaky camera. The Shield and Bourne Ultimatum drove him bonkers. He completely forgot that Cloverfield was mostly “hand held”. Even with all the reviews we have read, we didn’t even think about that. So, we turned around and came home. Then the rain came and washed away all of my...
