This movie called Hamlet 2 is on HBO – second time I’ve seen. Brilliant comedy – Paul Coogan as the lead is awesome. Anyone in the arts I think can relate to some of the frustrations and insecurities of his character.  He also has a general geekiness which speaks to my inner geek as well.

I’m not going to go on and on – I’m not really the profound type – just thought it was funny is all and, well, I haven’t updated this blog in I don’t know how long.

We’re adding a door to the music room in the basement. To do so I needed to build an extension to the wall coming down from the ceiling.  The extension I built is about 10″ wide by 2′ long.  I’ve been working on it for a week because I have no idea what I’m doing.  Every time I put the joint compound on, I sand it all off again just so I can put more on.

It reminds me a little bit of Spinal Tap when the mini-Stonehenge was lowered from the ceiling.  Kind of like that.  In a way I’m building a really big wall, only smaller. If anyone needs me to build them a teeny tiny house I’ll know how to do it.

I have been refusing to sign up for Twitter for the longest time – to me (and a lot of people I know in my age group) that’s really just going too far – myspace, facebook, ok – even those sites don’t come naturally the older you get, but Twitter is just beyond the pale.

However, this guy tempts me to sign up – these are really funny.  They’re just daily tweets from a guy named Justin of stuff his 73-year-old dad is saying day in and day out.  Be forewarned, lots of cursing, etc.:
