MM5 - Closing podcast and thanks

The dust has settled, the guacamole has been retired, and MM5 is done for another year. Good line-up, probably not the best one yet, but definitely less duds than any year prior. More of my thoughts and the thoughts of people far smarter than me can be found in our post-game podcast here. Be warned that the audio quality is a bit raw and goes from quiet to deafening on more than one occasion.

Before I stop talking about the Movie Marathon for another twelve months, I would be very remiss if I didn't thank the follow folks:
  • Sarah - While I'm the programmer for this show, Sarah takes on the much harder task of running this party. As always, the party was amazing. An in addition, she also did a lot of Teddy juggling and taxiing of people and babies to and fro. I couldn't and wouldn't do this without you.
  • Grandma Nonna and Grandpa - Sarah's parents took Teddy overnight and for a huge chunk of Sunday. Thank you so, so much for helping us out. I'm greatly in indebted, for many reasons beyond this, really, but certainly for this as well.
  • Jorge - For blogging it up all night like it was your job. (It is, but it's only an unpaid internship.) Thanks, dude. And your acting prowess, once again, was top notch.
  • Rebecca - For traveling, tweeting, and sharing the true reason why francaphone men are so bowlegged.
  • Chris - For your booze, mustache, and man-hugs (so, so many man-hugs).
  • Mark - For your excellent wirework.
  • Tania - For being okay with the way we man-handled your man.
  • Claire - For your rock-solid extra work in our Sunset Boulevard video.
  • Isha - For making time for this party, even though you are crazily pregnant. (Also, for not having your home birth in my home).
  • Shelley - For your unmatched sense of humour and your insastiable thirst for jagerbombs.
  • Michelle - For being our one and only first-timer. Woo!
  • Lorna - For not punching me in the mouth after the Bad Lieutenant video.

That's all. I had a great time. Sound like you did too. See you at MM6.

I should add...

... that two people were instrumental in my joining Twitter. First, Isha . She sent out an article on it when the application was still brand new. (And I remember thinking, "Screw that noise. Like I need more online commitments.) Second was Rebecca . She joined up just a short while ago, claiming she hadn't met a bandwidth she didn't like . (And then she disappeared entirely from the internets .) It looked nice and pretty over there on her sidebar, and then I got a little jealous. The rest: history. And for those unobservant among you ( Jorge ), the Twitter feed is right there on my sidebar, replacing the old Radio 3 player that I loved, but that I think scared the bejezus out of a lot of people. Also, everyone should join Twitter. I'm needing some diversions , people.
Change Two: Drink More Water Such a simple thing, yet something I just can't seem to find the time to do. About the only water I drink in your average day is whatever sweat happens to trickle off my mustache. Hydration (so the smart people tell me) is a good thing. I'm less fatigued when I drink water. I'm less hungry when I drink water. I'm even less grumpy when I drink water. I promise you nothing especially impressive. Eight glass a day ain't gonna happen. I'm shooting for two on average; two trendy, metallic, not gonna bleed Bisphenol A into my system bottles of water. I know were off to a rip-roaring start, what with the list-making and the hydration, but I'll try to get crazier with future changes. Stuff like: go to work drunk more, and buy a pair of leather pants. For now, let me ease into it.

Discuss Amongst Yourselves - January 30th, 2006

In case you don’t read my comments (and if not, you’re nuts cause that’s where all the good stuff is), Courtney has just declared herself movie illiterate. So, if you had to recommend five essential movies that everyone should see, what would they be? Let me stress: only five. For those of you with break-the-rules tendencies (like--I dunno--just picking a name out of the air... Jorge ?), your comment gets chucked out. Give’r.
