Font Crazy

It's the little things that make you keep going.

Blogger finally added some more fonts to choose from.  Awesome.  I was getting sick of the same five fonts.

Head to the 'Design' tab, click 'Template Designer', then 'Advanced'.  Fonts galore.

Hope this helps my Blog Army and my followers.  Nothing wrong with mixing it up a little bit.

A New Blog!?!

I've decided to make a new blog.  Out of the blue?  Not really.  As you may or may not know, photography is something I'm pretty enthusiastic about.  It's not quite on the level of my passion for sports, but I enjoy being behind the lens.

Whenever I can, I post pictures that I've personally taken, on WRT.  Sometimes, it's photos I've gathered online.

My new endeavor - Digital Darcy Photography - will be a photo-a-day blog.  Photos will be taken by me (or Lindsay).

Themes and ideas for these photos will be completely random (with maybe a little help from The Daily Shoot).  Weather, transportation, landscapes, sports, foliage - anything and everything is fair game. 

I hope you all have a spare minute in your day to check out the new site.  I know I can count on my Blog Army.

Thank you all.

Post Movie Clapping - Yes or No?; Congrats to the JETS

Just got back to the apartment after a nice little date night with the wifester.  I worked the clinic all day and we haven't really had a date night in a while, so I figured we'd catch a flick and grab some dessert somewhere.

We headed up to Central Avenue to take in The Dilemma - Vince Vaughn (the best actor ever) and Kevin James killed it.  I'm biased, because I am convinced that anything Vince Vaughn does is instant gold (and I probably have a man-crush on him).

p.s. - I just Google'd how to properly write a movie title.  turns out, you simply italicize it. 

It was a 7:15 showing, so it really started at around 7:30 once the ridiculous previews were complete.

The movie was great - lots of laughs, some soft and mushy parts, more laughs, and more laughs.

There is one thing I don't understand at the conclusion of a movie - clapping.

Let me put it to you like this - the people on that screen, they can't actually hear your clapping.  Sure, I enjoyed the work they put forth in making it all come together on the big screen, but they don't give a shit if you boo and throw Gobstoppers at the screen.  They can't hear you.  The producer - he/she can't see, hear, or feel you reaction either.  Honestly, do you think other moviegoers think your clapping means you appreciated the film more than them?  No.

After you finish with a DVD at home, do you get your ass up from off that couch and clap?  If you do, take a good hard look in the mirror and re-evaluate your actions.  It's one thing to turn to a complete stranger and say, "Man, that was awesome" but clapping? 

My verdict on post-movie clapping is simple:  it's totally unnecessary.

Also, as per my rant against Twitter several months ago (October 22 I believe) - I take it back.  I am back on Twitter and have a new found appreciation for that little blue bird.

Oh, and Braylon Edwards' athleticism is second to none after his backflip celebration following the Jets shocking win in New England.  Also congratulations to my friend on Twitter @BigAds41 - a teammate and friend of mine since our college days at Manhattan - a huge Jets fan.

Also, congrats to Bruce and sorry to G - a bet's a bet so keep me posted as to how the score was settled.  I kind of feel like the bookie to this bet.

Goodnight and safe travels!
