Yeah, I'm still thinking about the very very end. Totally looking forward to Drive. The Bullitt fan in me can't wait.

I loved The American.

I have to admit, I was disappointed in the very very very end. Getting there was grand, though.

I hear Drive is quite similar in quiet awesomeness.

Yikes. Corrected now, thank you. Director John Hughes, dead. Director John Landis, still alive. How could I do that to the man who gave me Blues Brothers, Trading Places, Spies Like Us, Three Amigos, and Coming to America?

I'm thinking of biking near the Columbia Icefields this summer and having fun around there. Care to join?

I'm sure John Landis is really surprised you killed him off in this blog post.

Then again, the Death of Superman killed death, soooo maybe you meant to kill John Landis?

Official Addendum: Laura helped me pick out the chair. She is a great friend, an innovation mentor and a fancy-chair connoisseur. She cannot be trusted with photos.

Um…where's the credit for the person who helped you select those colors. Hmmm? Also, I would argue we need more pictures of the chair. And of you in the chair.

Comment on How did I not blog this last year? … Food by Patrick Cooper

Patrick Cooper — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 03:15:03 +0000

Don't worry! There have been lots of salads, juices and water. Gallons and gallons of water. Pictures and stories of water are not interesting, though, unless they also involve falls and barrels. And LivingSocial hasn't offered that yet.
