Inception

Its just one of those films you really have to see in a theater and fully appreciate the effects and sounds. It gets really tense, epecially when they get to the final heist (the inception). I definitely need to see this again. I think I got it, but feel that there were some bits that I entrusted to the director's concept. I really like Hans Zimmer's 'decelerating' touch to the theme music :).

Thanks, Harvey...

Harvey Pekar's gone. I wish I could say I've known him for so long and have all his comics, but honestly it wasn't until Paul Giamatti portrayed him in American Splendor that I started to go back and read up a bit on his work. There's a bit of Harvey in all of us, some more than others, some up and about more frequently than most. I hope that in his last moments he had a little bit of satisfaction in the fact that not all has been as bad or miserable. So long, Harvey. Thanks, man.

So long, Bengie

It was time. Buster Posey's hot bat was undeniable and while he still has a lot to learn from the crouch position, he's a quick study. And Bengie isn't necessarily a bench guy who can mentor a kid at this point...at least I'm sure he wouldn't want that...he wants to play...so it was time. Perhaps if next season there are no takers he can look into coming back to work more with Posey...that would be a nice thought. But for now...so long, Bengie, and thanks for being a great Giant.
