at 10:30am i had eaten, bathed, played some x-box games, watched a bit of tv, moved 9 boxes of baby clothes downstairs, unburied the wardrobe in the front bedroom (but in doing so, buried the computer desk), emptied two boxes, and fallen on the stairs wrenching my shoulder and thumb badly in catching myself. the good news is i’ve moved on from being frustrated at ted for all the useless shit Important Stuff he owns to being frustrated with myself for all the useless shit Important Stuff i own. at…

Picoreview: The Wolverine
Picoreview: The Wolverine: That was a gratifying amount of half-naked Hugh Jackman. My hat (or, thematically, possibly my shirt) is off to you, sir! Stay through the first set of credits. That was the best teaser trailer I’ve seen since, like, the one at the end of the 2nd Back to the Future movie.
