Hi there.

Still feeling fine. Had a veggie delite sub for dinner and got "Extras: The Complete Series" on DVD. Hoping to do some writing.

Here's a link to an interesting article about the modern action hero (featuring my favorite new show "Chuck").

By the way -- NBC aired what would turn out to be the last new episodes of "Chuck" last Thursday night. While it was nice having two all-new episodes air in the same night (albeit sandwiched between... uh, "Celebrity Apprentice"), I question the logic of burning off some of the few new hours of scripted television NBC still has on the same night. And in January. Wouldn't it have been wise to save them for February sweeps? Or two different evenings. Still, the episodes were pretty good, and I'm all but convinced I'll be getting "Chuck" on DVD.

Declarative Jack Sez:

What I've Been Up To Lately

I haven't been up to much this past week, but I've been keeping busy. Saw Cloverfield opening day. Went in the afternoon to beat the crowds during the evening shows. Worked out too -- I heard from a friend who tried to see it that night that it was sold out. Wasn't that bad. The weak dialogue was more obvious because it was supposed to be "real" and it felt very by-the-numbers, but it was fun seeing in theatres and had some good scares. Kept busy most days of the week. Did some writing, ate out with friends, had pizza one night, chinese the other. Been watching a lot of the sixth season of 24 on DVD with Kerr and Edmond. -- it got bad reviews but it's been fine. Went to London overnight on Thursday. Had a good time.

Don't really have much to say. Terribly sorry about that. Life's been fine lately, so there's not much to gripe about. There was this douche with a cell phone standing in front of me in line at Tim Horton's the other day. That was bloody annoying. He was shouting into his phone and standing his one leg bent and against the other, the tip of his shoe on the ground. It's hard to explain, but it added to the doucheiness. It wasn't as bad as being near someone on a bluetooth in an airport, but it's right up there.

Aside from that, things are fine, I suppose.

Hi there.

Hi. Not much to say. Life hasn't been too bad. Been hanging out with the guys, enjoying myself and such. I finally got my Naked Gun movie theatre-sized poster from ebay, so that's all right. In lieu of anything interesting to say, here's another Stick Man cartoon. Click the link to check it out:

Not much to say, really...

My new year started with me sleeping more hours than usual. I went to bed at a decent hour but wasn't able to get out of bed until six pm or so. A few days later I came to realize my over-sleeping was the warning sign I'd caught a cold, only I didn't get this until I was laid out in bed Saturday morning with a 104 degree temperature. Was feeling better Sunday evening and into Monday. Went to see my therapist Tuesday, didn't really feel up to getting out until yesterday though. Went to a few places and out to dinner with a few of the guys. Hoping to get down to Niagara Falls tomorrow.

I can't really think of a whole lot else to comment on. Which is kind of crummy when you're trying to keep people interested in reading your blog. The Daily Show is back on TV though. That's pretty good.
