King Kong
Ann and I finally got around to seeing King Kong last night. We actually really liked it, despite the tepid reviews that it has received. We may be swayed by the fact that we hardly ever go out to the movies, but I don't think so.
I was happy to see that director Peter Jackson paid homage to his greatest film: early in the movie, when they are boarding the boat to skull island there is an animal crate labeled "Sumatran Rat Monkey." I think I was the only one in the theatre who picked up on it.

Ahh...The Onion
Great graphic in The Onion this week: "Top Selling Educational Baby DVDs."
Also, "Skating with Celebrities" is pretty much the dumbest thing I've ever seen. But I can't look away. Be sure to vote in the poll "Which is your favorite type of skating?" on the official site for the show. If you are like me, you'll pick disco skating, although skateboarding would also be a good choice.

Bode Miller
Just when I thought I couldn't like Bode Miller any more than I already do, he comes out and says this:
If you ever tried to ski when you're wasted, it's not easy. Try and ski a slalom when ... you hit a gate less than every one second, so it's risky. You're putting your life at risk. ... It's like driving drunk, only there are no rules about it in ski racing."I can't wait for the Olympics.

Happy New Year!
Happy New Year everyone!
Did anyone do anything particularly fun for New Year's Eve? Ann and I didn't go out, but we did make a delicious dinner. Salad with seared shrimp, filet mignon au poivre with a tarragon red wine sauce, braised leeks and roasted garlic mashed potatoes. All this accompanied by an excellent 1999 Pinot Noir from Erath vineyards that we bought in Oregon. To top it all off, we had chocolate fondue for dessert. Maybe not as fun as a Phish show on NYE, but pretty good when you have a one year old and no babysitter.
