60 Minutes – A Farewell

Andy Rooney, age 92, is leaving 60 Minutes. Why is that important? That starts with my history – I am 38 years old. Andy Rooney has been on 60 minutes for 23 years. I remember watching 60 minutes with my parents and enjoying his little bits at the end of the show. My mother adored [...]

Cutting corners

I have made arrangements with the local hospital, my residence for half of the month, to pay $100 a month until my bill is paid off, I can do without coffee I guess, about $35 a month. 35 baht a day is $35 a month, only eat one meal out each day, $30, and stop [...]

A Smattering of September Films

So I have been a busy little Rhino…sorry for the long respite between posts, but writing doesn’t pay the bills, and papa had to earn some real cheese.  Just because I didn’t write, doesn’t mean I didn’t keep watching.
While I am short on time, I will offer a mini-review for each [...]

Other than the obvious, more good things about Tha(and Lao) girls

I was released early from the hospital because of no funds to pay my bill, within an hour I had passed out, fallen, hit my head on the floor and went in for more xrays and three days more hospital, crap! Well, when I was in the first time for the first two days I [...]

Fantasy Football

ARGGGG.
I am playing Fantasy Football again. GlazednConfused and I have a team that we manage together. Last year we won the Superbowl, made loads of money, and are at it again this year. The problem with winning the Superbowl is that the next year you get hosed on picks – meaning you go dead last. [...]

Warrior – One helluva film!

While the tag team is more commonly associated with the WWE than MMA, the Catfish is working the corner with the Reel Rhino and the outcome is victory.  I love having the Cat swing by, he is the poet laureate of the Reel Rhino site and I appreciate it, no matter [...]

Thunder, Lightning, and Brain Surgery

I was heading home on my bicycle Sunday night when two men rushed out of the darkness and split my skull open with a sword. They hit me twice more in the torso and were aiming another blow to my head when I lunged out of the way and was hit below my right kidney. [...]

Carriers over Contagion, Who’d a Thunk It? »

Carriers over Contagion, Who’d a Thunk It?

Thursday night, I decided that to generate some momentum for Steven Soderbergh’s Contagion, I would check out Carriers.  Ever since I dropped the DVD portion of my Netflix, I have been watching flicks I may have otherwise missed (and some that I would have rather missed!).  I think this whole price change has [...]

Movie Roundup: Red State, The Debt, Attack the Block, Conan »

Movie Roundup: Red State, The Debt, Attack the Block, Conan

(Kenfu, I didn’t do a full review for Conan, but let me lead by saying it is better than they say.)

Lots to talk about folks, we have much to discuss.

We ran a three day garage sale over the weekend and I feel like I didn’t have any days off.  I have a silver tongue [...]

And a Hero will rise…

We live in a rather troubled world. In fact in four days we will recognize those who died in the Twin Towers in New York on September the 11th, 2001. I will write a post about that, on that day, but not today. Today I wanted to touch on something else, something that humans throughout [...]
