By Jeff, on April 26th, 2008 Lots of movies are coming out this year that I would love to see in a theater, rather than waiting for DVD.
Here’s the list, in order of release, with release date. Boldface indicates movies I will not miss in the theaters – the others I will be disappointed if I have to miss for one reason or another:

There needs to be a Hitman Monkey comic book. A depressed monkey running around whacking people… what’s funnier than that?!
“Hitman Monkey: No Funny Business”
Oh, man… that would have been an awesome background character in a Tick episode. He could have been in the background in every scene quietly taking out the “extras”.

By Jeff, on April 17th, 2008 Were you paying attention in those psychology classes?
Do you remember the experiments where a rat was trained to press a lever to get food?
It’s amazing how relevant experiments on rats can be to parenting.
In pursuing my psychology degree, I took a lab where I had to perform that experiment myself. I had a rat of my own, which I named – very appropriately, I thought – Rat (hey, if it’s good enough . . . → Read More: Grilled cheese and the science of successive approximation
By Jeff, on April 11th, 2008 Those who know me may assume my own daughter can also do this. She can’t. Yet.

I have come upstairs to … get AWAY from our 2 and 3 year-olds. They’re eating lunch. Or that’s what they’re supposed to be doing. They’ve been sick for days now. It seems like a very long time. I’ve been up with one or both every night for 4 nights now. And I’m tired. And . . . → Read More: It’s Not Fair!
