Due to recent circumstances, I don't normally get my son overnight. In fact, this is the first time in over a month that he's been able to stay here. The reason is because his mom his out of town. It's also, unfortunately, this week that he's taken ill. He's got a cough, which activates vomiting if it goes on just long enough (and, spoiler alert, it has), paired with some fever. After puking his brains out all over the carpet of the apartment I'm about to vacate in two weeks, he fell asleep for four hours. I, being smarter than I look, couldn't sleep at all, instead reading back issues of Dan's Greatest Hits to keep myself awake, watching for more signs of illness in Bryan 2.0. Then he started mumbling for his mom and I felt his head and hands, unsurprisingly finding them hot to the touch. Vomit, round two. Some kids Tylenol and half a bottle of water later, and it's fucking playtime in the Martinez household. Parenthood! *air guitar solo*

Someone's left... 
There's some kind of irony being us, the only one's left. This is a good representation of how I feel logging in every now and again. At least I got an excuse to squeeze out one more movie write-up (Spectre.

Me too. The deadness is obnoxious. The only thing that has changed is the domain URL, really, but somehow that convinced even the longest running members to abandon all hope.

I still check the site everyday (except for the past week because I was in Florida), but there's nothing left to talk about, really.

I'd argue we've had nothing to talk about for the better part of a decade.

Here's a random one since I remember you being a fan of Clint Eastwood as a director: your opinion on American Sniper?

I didn't see it. I think that sniper guy was a racist psychopath and I don't have any interest in watching a movie about it.

Ostro you didn't miss anything. It's like the movie version of that dude from high school who's forty now and still sits and talks about that time he threw the game winning touchdown senior year. The whole movie made me really uncomfortable, and none of it seemed genuine or true. He's a hero who suffers alone silently and with extra macho-ness, and does nothing but meet people with problems which he solves by being so patriotic and amazing that the problems simply melt away. They do leave the more ridiculous parts of the memoir out thank goodness, like him going to New Orleans and shooting looters from a rooftop, but they replace it with a totally fabricated story line about him and an evil sniper meeting off and on throughout the war until he finally bests him. (without help from anyone of course. And during a massive sand storm.)
