We went to see Neil Gaiman's Stardust this weekend, and everyone should go see it. This is the first movie in a LOOOOOOONNNNNNNGGGG time that perfectly evokes the magic and fun and wonder of the better kid-oriented fantasy movies of yore (i.e., The Princess Bride & Labyrinth).

Absolutely wonderful - I suggest that you all go see it right now. Really. Go now. Go!

In other news, I found some more photos that make me laugh:


As though the Cow-cycle itself weren't enough, look at the cow's front feet. I'd take this thing to work, intentionally seeking out heavy traffic, every single day of my professional life.


















For you Middle-Earthlings out there...























This one's just because, coincidentally, I also wear my dress shirts and ties in bed, arms propped confidently behind my head as I wait for Julia to serve me breakfast in bed on her knees.

























Some women just have to be SHOWN, don't they? Good thing I bought this "man's world" necktie. When I'm wearing this, I don't even have to slap her - the tie does it for me! Hooray!



Note to all blog readers: I love and fear my wife. The comments above were intended to be taken in a satirical and sarcastic manner.

Note to Julia: See above note. Please do not make me eat from the litterbox again.

  2. Hilary! You're alive! I was beginning to suspect that Ryan had shipped you off to some foreign land.

    Hey, thanks. I do what I can, particularly when it comes to my images.

  3. So - I order a lot of my clothes online from this store that makes clothes for teenagers. I know - I should be ashamed, but the clothes are cute and cheap and fit in the shoulders. Anyway, when I receive my clothes in the mail, there is usually a bunch of teen-targeted promotional items included with my clothes: acne-free face wash, barrettes, etc ... this time in my package I received a star-shaped stick-on cell phone mirror advertising "Stardust." According to your rave reviews, “Stardust” does not seem like a "cell phone mirror" kind of movie. They should have had a more kick-butt promotional item, no?

  4. Can I have a cow cycle when I grow up?

  5. I suspect that your tastes may differ somewhat from the cell phone bling paraphernalia users in the world Hil. Unless, that is, you happen to have your name, Ryan's name, or anything really, spelled out in rhinestones on anything you own. Then, you might just want to order the Stardust mirror. It's designed with you in mind.

    And yes, Joe, you can have a cow-cycle when you grow up. I myself am considering building one from the ground up, using nothing but dog parts.
