EAGLES WIN!!! That was perhaps the greatest comeback I’ve ever seen. 28 pts in 7 minutes.
Michael Vick makes things happen.
Giants are looking unbelievable.
The good news is, the Eagles have another half to play. The bad news is they have another half to play.
On a technical level, “Tangled” was flawless - the animation some of the best I’ve seen. I felt the story was slightly undercooked, though.
Getting ready to watch “Tangled.” I remember a few years ago being blown away by the 1st animation leaked online. Stoked 4 finished product.
@eagles win! Tough game, fellas - but you made the big plays when you needed to.
Eagles’ defense looks so BAD.
Happy Hanukkah, Night 2 … we always gotta keep adding to the Light.

It’s amazing how well the original theatrical version holds up. Yoda is a pretty low-tech puppet, but the performance is a powerhouse.
Watching “Empire Strikes Back,” in memory of Irvin Kirshner, a cousin of my great uncle.
I wish I had a dollar for every great Leslie Nielsen line. I’d be a very wealthly man.
That was a fumble, Bears.
Never thought my Macbook Pro would need a whole reinstall, so I never backed up the hardrive. HUGE mistake. Praying the data recovery works.
May we all be blessed to see the teachings of the Holy Baal Shem Tov reach the furthest that can possibly be reached.
Tonight is the 19th of the Hebrew month of Kislev, when Rabbi Shneur Zalman was granted heavenly permission to let the Wellsprings flow.
Matisyahu has an AMAZING new song out for Hanukkah this year - Miracle. Very poppy, very catchy. http://ping.fm/tRo7X
Bummer: I got sick every half-hour last night. Non-bummer: I watched “Spies Like Us.” They don’t make comedies that that anymore.
My good buddy Josh November’s poetry collection, “God’s Optimism.” Don’t know much about poetry, but I love his: http://bit.ly/cp5KAG
Would love to be at the CTN Expo. Hope to be there next year!
Today being my Hebrew birthday, I’d like to bless everyone with the ultimate, revealed Goodness, both physically & spiritually.Have a gr8 1!
Lots of kvetching about the “Green Lantern” preview in all of the industry blogs. I thought it looked fun.
If the Eagles can score two more touchdowns, they’ll break the alltime high score for regular season, and tie the playoff high.
Long night for the Redskins. Yowza.
Pittsburgh’s got three high-profile movies being released this month - current #1, “Unstoppable,” being one of them. Awesome.
Please don’t ask me to recap the last 4 days in LA, it would just take too long. Suffice it to say, they were very, very good. BH.

Went to sleep at 10, completely knackered - way earlier than my usual 12. Woke up at 4:30, wide awake. Kinda like it, though.

Goodnight Philly sports phans. Tonight we sleep as winners.
The first five minutes of “Megamind” were great! And I really didn’t care for the trailers at all. Trailers are a lost art.

Netanyahu just painted Abbas into a corner - & clearly shows there is no Palestinian leadership willing to co-exist with a Jewish state.
My 3 year old asked if lions eat cookies. My 4 year old answered, “if they do, then they’re people dressed as lions.” Clever, aye?
Phillies look good. Reaaaaal good.
At the PD’s open mic. Good energy tonight.

Wishing everone an amazing Simchas Torah. It’s not about getting wasted - it’s about giving the Torah legs to dance with.
I don’t believe in luck, I believe in blessings.
