Movie Review: While We're Young
Over the last couple of years I've really grown fond of the more quirky indie movies then I have the big summer blockbusters. I like movies that make me feel and think. While We're Young felt like the movie for me. It felt like a movie that would speak to where Jenn and I are in our lives. Where is that you might ask? Thinking about what the next stage is going to hold for us. Where we're going to live. If and when we are going to have kids. And trying to enjoy our youth for as long as possible.
TV Review: Silicon Valley Season 2
I realize that last year I didn't write up a review for the first season of Silicon Valley. That's a shame because it was a great opening season. Silicon Valley is a 30 minute comedy on HBO from the writer of Office Space. The show has a very similar feel to the classic comedy Office Space. It's about a group of guys who are developing a new piece of compression software.
Movie Review: Inside Out
I've been meaning to write this review for a couple of weeks now. But if you read one of my recent posts, Jenn and I have been quite busy. However on one of the weekends we were forced out of the house due to an Open House we went and saw Inside Out the latest Pixar movie at the Big Newport theater in Fashion Island. One thing to note about the Big Newport Theater its under going some renovations and now have huge loungers for seats that recline. A great way to take in a show.
Sometimes the Right Decisions are the Toughest Decisions...Deciding to Sell our Home
When I started blogging in 2003 I used it as a journal. A way to just jot down thoughts about my day, my life, my friends, my tennis career, and my pursuit of Jenn. It slowly morphed from that into a highlight reel of my life. A way for me to have a place to look back on the fond memories. A timeline of events so that one day in the future when I want to remember what I ate in Paris in 2008 when I got off the train I can (it was shrimp risotto from the hotel room service). It's an amazing life to write about. I've been blessed. I have an incredible, amazing wife who's my best friend. I have the best family I could ask for. I have a great job. I get to travel the world. I've been incredibly blessed.
TV Review: Game of Thrones Season 5
How are we already done with Season 5 of Game of Thrones? It feels like I just posted one of the trailers for the upcoming season. And yet ten weeks have passed and another amazing season of Game of Thrones is in the books. I don't even want to think about the fact that it will be almost a year until we get more Game of Thrones. Season 5 has now officially caught up with the first five books in The Song of Ice and Fire series by George R R Martin. So unless GRRM can get his sixth book out before Season 6, next year will be the first season I won't know what to expect.
Recapping the Weekend in Los Angeles for E3 2015
At times it's really hard for me to believe my good fortune. I grew up drooling over E3. As a huge fan of video games E3 is known as a video games fan week long Christmas. It's the show where all the big developers and publishers come out and show off what games that have coming the upcoming holiday season and beyond. I've been fortunate enough to get invited to go the E3 press conferences for the past four years or so. This year we decided to go a little bigger for E3 and actually stay down in Los Angeles for the event.
