Guardians of the Galaxy: non-comic action at its best

Well surprise surprise, I liked Guardians of the Galaxy.  OK, that may not be entirely unexpected.  What will be surprising to those that watch it is how much they enjoy watching it too.  Guardians of the Galaxy is a Marvel movie, but it feels like a sci-fi/action movie.  It’s easily the best movie that Marvel has done.  The film is more fun than The Avengers and is the only one from Marvel that I’ve immediately wanted to see again.

Parenting, family, pets and the 100 shades of green

Every morning when the kids get downstairs it’s the same ritual.  Our youngest sits to my left and his older brother sits directly across from him.  He’ll talk about how he had “a good sleep” and ask about what we’re doing tomorrow-at which point I’ll remind him that we have lots of fun stuff to do today. While all of this is happening, Abby, our 14 year-old flat coat retriever has already set up camp under our youngest’s chair.  He’s just the right height to massage her with his bare feet and if anyone at the table is going to drop something edible it’s going to be him.  It was also at this point that I realized that this is one of those moments, specifically those periods of time.

Aerial America: Southwest Collection-armchair travel & more

Smithsonian Channel Aerial America: Southwest Collection takes five of the programs that aired on the Smithsonian Channel and puts them on Blu-ray.  Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah and Colorado are featured in this DVD.  It is presented in full widescreen with an aspect ratio of 16 x 9 and 5.1 digital surround sound.  I’m no audiophile, but all that adds up to a gorgeous picture and immersive sound.

The intersection of car & art: Dream Cars at the High Museum of Art

The car I drive is never something that I’ve worried about too much; as long as it gets me from point A to B.  My father has the car bug, that desire to get the newest, latest vehicle that can do things slightly better than last year’s model.   He didn’t pass that gene to me.   I am however, into the weird and creative.  Dream Cars, the new exhibit this summer at the High Museum of Art is an art exhibit for gear heads, surrealists, engineers and pop culture people.
