Cheryl vs. Twilight 2: New Moon

Ritchie — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 18:00:01 +0000

You’re probably expecting a movie review of New Moon on this blog post right? Wrong! My wife, Cheryl, is a twilight fan. She read the books, got hooked, watched the movie, got more hooked and now she’s obsessed. If we have a child, and that child is pale with bejeweled skin then I’m marching over to [...]

A Netbook Review: Dell Mini 9

Ritchie — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 16:00:16 +0000

So I’ve owned a netbook for a while now. I bought the Dell Mini 9 a while ago. It was half gadget lust and half a need to carry something lighter than the MacBook. I had operating system issues. I bought it with Ubuntu with the intent of installing OS X on it, but because of [...]

Dear ABC TV Network, You suck!

Ritchie — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 17:30:58 +0000

Dear ABC, Let me first say that I hate you for turning me into the livid old man that writes crazy letters to companies. You’re not the first but by expanding from one to two companies, I don’t have a guarantee that it will not happen again. Damn you. Now onto business, your abrupt stop to Pushing [...]

Spank the crap out of that child

Ritchie — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 17:30:33 +0000

Did you hear? Yea, they found Balloon Boy in the f*ckin’ attic. Scared to come out because his dad yelled at him. Now really, who am I to offer parenting advice? I have zero credibility when it comes to taking care of children. However, that being said let me exercise my right as part of the [...]

Ritchie vs. Fame (2009): The Movie

Ritchie — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 17:00:16 +0000

First of all, a Fame remake is a good idea in theory. However, like all good ‘theory’ ideas (Ronco Pocket Fisherman, I’m looking at you!) most times execution fails horribly. There are spoilers in this post, so if you’re planning to see the movie (God help you) then stop reading this. Here is the premise: Put [...]

Sicky sympathy

Ritchie — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 18:27:47 +0000

I’m sick. I caught the flu and have spent the last few days at home. Everyone in the house has been sick. Cheryl caught the bug from a recent plane ride and Java has ear infections. The amount of movies consumed during a sick stint increases 10 fold. At the time of this writing, I’m lying [...]

3 Things I Must Need to Buy

Ritchie — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 18:25:33 +0000

Lately, I’ve been trying to focus my buying into very specific goal oriented things. This means that I haven’t been buying anything that doesn’t directly equate into accomplishing what’s on my 2009 list. I’ve been controlling my impulse purchasing to the point that I’ve avoided the mall and different shops that I used to visit [...]

A Post of Insults

Ritchie — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 18:00:24 +0000

So in order to blow off some steam, I started to write in my notebook, lately it’s been evolving into tiny notes that have been making my day. It took a whole week to collect my mental thoughts in my notebook, extract them, and present them here. Why? Well because I can. It’s my blog [...]

Shopping for Ed Hardy… Nothing

Ritchie — Sat, 15 Aug 2009 17:43:41 +0000

I can’t go insulting a French trailer park douchebag until I actually tried to go in and attempt to buy his clothing. I was hoping to find a piece of clothing that would appeal to me and I would have to write a retract on my blog post (I did it for blog fodder – [...]
