I don't know why I didn't think of the inability to sleep early thing. I'm unable to go to bed at a decent hour. Even if I have absolutely NOTHING to do for hours, I won't go to bed.
Yeah, I know I won't sleep in, but I still stay up. I told my wife that it's probably because it's the ONLY time I'm alone in the house (awake, anyway) and that's a nice thing...but I end up getting 6 hours a night usually...and that can catch up with me...
Hi Nicotine Jones,
I'm enjoying your blog and wanted to comment on your list of to do, can't do, and so forth...
I have not seen the Brotherhood of the Wolf and wondered how many stars you'd actually give it before I go pick it up?
I'm a huge movie freak and critic!!
I am debating whether or not to rent Brother's Grimm since it got such a low turn out. Personally I think box office rating are damaged most by lack of advertising. I know I saw maybe 3 trailers for BG and 2 of those were while watching another film at the theater.
Anyway... Great Blog!

Thanks for the nice comments. Regarding Brotherhood of the Wolf, I can't remember how I first came upon this movie...but from your profile, I saw you like comic book movies...This is a comic book movie without costumes. There's some great fight scenes. One of the lead actors is the chairman from Iron Chef America, Mark Dacascos. You wouldn't believe it, but he is an amazing fighter and it is filmed more like a historical drama than your typical action movie. I'd say it's a combo of Last of the Mohicans and the Punisher. So on a scale of 1-10, I'd give it a 9. There's some bizarre parts, and the movie is dubbed, but still well worth seeing. Let me know what you think!
