Today, Joey was able to feel baby kicking up a storm inside Amy’s stomach. An awesome moment, really. Now I’m talking to the baby every night. I think baby likes human voices – seems more active when I do that. Wicked cool!
Watchmen Movie?
One of the best graphics novels ever, created by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbon back in the mid-80s, looks to finally be moving closer to becoming a movie. Slashot covers a Reuters report that Bourne Supremacy director Paul Greengrass is taking the helm after another director dropped out of the picture due to scheduling conflicts.

The other is that I bought this baby at a rock-bottom price on HSX.com, and hope it adds a few million more to my Hollywood Stock Exchange portfolio. For those of you who haven’t seen this thing – it’s rather like a fantasy stock market game for movie buffs. Buy low, sell high, short options – I’ve been playing this thing since 1998. I started with $2M of their ‘Hollywood Bucks’, and have a portfolio worth over $150M now. If that had only been real money…sob.
