Happy Birthday Charles
Happy Birthday Charles! Today is my good friend Charles’ birthday. Last night we went to Tap and Mallet, The Black Pearl and Vinyl. At The Black Pearl The Po’ Boys were playing some Jazz music and they dedicated their own rendition of the Happy Birthday song to Charles.
Florida and Michigan
Florida will once again be the cause of a lawsuit dealing with the election. Good job Florida way to screw it up again!
The following video is a clip from The Daily Show which contains an animation of Florida and Michigan that I felt I had to share. The rest of the clip is also worth a look if you like Jon Stewart.

Stuffed Monkeys
Every time this commercial comes on TV and I’m within 50 feet of Rachel she hits my arm and tells me to watch. I’m not joking, every time. I’m hoping that maybe if I share it here and admit that ‘yes dear its cute’ she’ll let my shoulder recover.
The Cloverfield Case
Rachel and I saw Cloverfield on Friday. It wasn’t planned, in fact I didn’t have a whole lot of desire to see it at least not until I heard everyone’s reaction. That being said my friend Brian called and begged us to go (read: asked if I want to see it) so naturally I didn’t want to disappoint.
Cloverfield was awesome. I thought the hand held cameras would distract you from the storyline and takeaway from the overall movie. It had the exact opposite effect. The movie simply couldn’t have worked as a regularly filmed movie, at least not successfully. The reason it worked so well is the home movie added a very personal touch. In the beginning you laughed with the characters and in the end you cried with them all because you felt you were watching your best friend’s Youtube video. The movie also portrays our current generations desire to document everything and J. J. Abrams doesn’t hide that this was part of his motivation for the movie style.
I haven’t been a fan of a movie’s ending in quite a while but Cloverfield’s ending is the only way I can imagine it. That’s not to say it doesn’t leave you with a sense of ‘WTF’ and ‘damn I hope they don’t make a sequal’ but it works regardless.
If you haven’t seen the trailer I’ve embedded it for your viewing pleasure below.

Liam's Blister In The Sun
Rachel’s cousin Heather’s son, Liam played a nice little rendition of Blister In the Sun for us on Christmas Eve. Originally made famous by the Violent Femmes. Liam is only 3 imagine what he’ll be able to play in a few years…
Bee Movie
We finally saw Bee Movie the other day and it was quite funny. I rather enjoyed listening to Matthew Broderick and Jerry Seinfeld fight over the plights of life as a bee. The cast was impressive, From Sting to Larry King and Chris Rock. Even though the movie poked fun at the situation, it was interesting to think about how much bees really are needed. Granted lots of other critters pollinate, and the wind even plays its part, but I’d be willing to bet that a majority of pollination happens thanks to our little yellow (and black) friends. What would the world look like without pollination? Rachel would be out of a job (she’s a florist remember?) for sure.
If you haven’t already seen it, take a look at the trailer below, and if you enjoy animated movies like Shrek and Ice Age I’d suggest watching Bee Movie.
