It’s hard to believe I’ve been blogging for ten years here now, off and on. The first entry would hardly warrant a tweet these days, and I’ve certainly slacked off in the last few years with the arrival of the kids, for various reasons, but I’ve had a few good stretches over the years, and […]

Aimee and I put together our Top 10 (and Bottom 5) Films of the Year lists this past weekend, which reminded me that, as a life-long nostalgist and inveterate list-maker, I have done precious little reflection on the fact that we’ve just completed a decade and moved onto a new one. I haven’t gone back […]

Through some weird web glitch, I seem to have lost the last month worth of entries here, so I’ll be reconstituting those in some way over the next week or so. It could have been worse, though, so I’m happy it’s only a few entries. We’re off to Richmond this weekend to visit Scott, Sarah, […]

It’s time for the end of the year wrap-up, which I haven’t really done with any consistency (see the Best Live Shows of 2004 and Top Ten Films of 2004), but I’m going to give it a shot. 2008 has been an extremely busy year for us, our second full year in Los Angeles, one […]

After a whole bunch of time out of town (did we really spend four weekends in a row in airports? Yes we did), we got back in the L.A. swing of things this weekend, with a couple of days filled with only-in-L.A. stuff. We started off the weekend with a screening of Wall*E, finally, at […]

Things look a little different here today, hopefully for good. After a week of fiddling around and a half-hour or so of thinking I’d solved things, my great Movable Type project of 2007 came to a screeching halt, and I decided to jump ship to WordPress. So far, I’ve been able to wrangle it into […]

It’s a little early, but I’ve redesigned the site, made it a little wider and a little less cluttered. There will probably be some problems and things I’ve forgotten to fix; let me know if you come across any. Still working on that banner, too.

After joining Flickr awhile ago, I finally started putting some photos up this week. I still can’t really decide what to do with it; I’m not going to store all of my photos there in addition to my computer, but it’s nice to have an easy place to put some up every once in awhile. […]

I got an email this morning with the subject “congrats,” which immediately made me think it was either lotto scam or Nigerian scam email. Of course, those don’t go in the trash, but into my Nigeria folder, which now has over 300 amazing examples in it, including the two that came in today, from “Barrister […]

I just figured out how to make it so my blog doesn’t publish commenters’ email addresses by creating links out of them. So feel free to use your real email addresses now (or feel free to continue to make up creative ones, unless you’re going to be insulting in your comment, and then I’ll need […]

I’m sad to report a premature and disappointing conclusion to “The Affair of the Road Trip Website” (a.k.a., “The Case of the ‘East Coast Snob’”), as reported in this entry. I received a reply to my response today, and it was brief and lackluster:Hi,Well sorry, I just wanted to banter with someone who seemed like […]

Doubleperf is reborn, for the most part. The main indexes are all looking like they should, though there’s still more to do. In between correcting papers for the “NYC on Film” class I’m TA’ing, I’ve redesigned the site and cleaned up some of the old photo pages from meachams.com. Now that I look at the […]

The blog is a mess right now as I attempt to do the inevitable third month of existence re-design. And, as is my wont, I started at about 10:45 tonight, already kind of tired from driving back from Amherst. So I didn’t get it done – in fact, it’s barely started – but it’ll improve […]
