OK. Time for another plug of something awesome. This may not be for everyone and at times it is overly dramatic, but I have been fascinated with this show. The format is really cool. It is on HBO 5 nights a week with just a half hour episode. Each episode covers a half hour treatment session. Everything is real time and usually only has 2 or 3 at the most actors. Paul (played by Gabriel Byrne) is a therapist who works out of an office in his home. Monday night episodes are with Laura every week, Tue is with Alex, Wed is with Sophie, Thur is Jake and Amy and then on Fri Paul the therapist goes to another therapist cause his life is sort of in shambles too.
I've never seen a drama that's on 5 nights a week and the show itself is really good. It's definitely some 'intellectual' writer-y type stuff and the actors are all great. Would be a great opportunity for actors with such meaty material and playing opposite other great actors.

If you're behind, you can download the podcasts on HBO and watch them all in order. (ie Week 1 is episodes 1-5, week 2 is 6-10 etc). So..... another thing that I think is pretty amazing.


By the way, I am getting ready to start listing songs and music that is making an impact on me. Just wondering, does the music player I have annoy you, should I move it to the top so you can silence it, do you like it and want me to keep adding good songs? Let me know.

You ever get intimidated to do something that you really want to do, but you want to make sure it is done well? You could throw something out and do it real quick like, but the more you get into it the more you learn that there is better stuff out there and you want to learn it.

That's how I feel about this stupid blog. Nobody reads it yet, but I want to make it really good before I start 'pimping' it out. Same thing with music, photography, writing etc etc. It's hard to put something crappy out there and have your name attached to it.


That being said... here is a recommendation for stupid movies that will actually make you laugh and aren't actually all that stupid.

GALAXY QUEST. I was skeptical, but the cast is really funny, the story is really good, and it has one of the silliest, epic endings you'll ever see in a movie maybe? Sam Rockwell plays another crazy character, the story is ludicrous, Tim Allen plays a likable Tim Allen character and Sigourney Weaver is a cute heroine who slowly loses bits of clothing throught the whole movie.

Anyway, if you don't like it, then I will formally post an apology to you and put your name on this website (although then everyone will know that you can't appreciate what a funny movie this is so...)

OK, that wasn't so hard.

Quick post. Tonight is the last episode of Friday Night Lights. Possibly forever. After this is the trike and maybe cancellation (or hopefully move to another network if NBC doesn't pick it up). Anyway, if you have ever watched the show, tune in and spread the word. I have an older posting in the archives with photos and description. Just believe me, it's an amazing show. If anyone wants to watch season 1 I am loaning the season DVD out. More to come soon, including lots of fun Sundance pics and a bi-weekly music pic (Bi-weekly means twice a week not once every two weeks, right?)
