Movie BS with Bayer and Snider

You might label this entry as extreme navel gazing, but I listen to a local, online radio show that broadcasts every Friday at 11:00 a.m. Pacific: Movie BS with Bayer and Snider. Eric and Jeff's show is centered around movies--what's new, what's coming, and other various happenings. In Episode 10, they called out to their audience to submit answers to their question of the week; I couldn't think of a good answer for their first question, but I've faithfully replied to every question thereafter. You can listen below to the parts of the show where they discuss my submission. I will upload clips from future shows in this post, so if you like examining my navel as much as I do, come back every week to see what color the lints is.

I must credit Meg for introducing me to Eric D. Snider. She remembers reading his newspaper column when they were both students at a certain university, and she suggested that I would like and appreciate his work, since he seems to critique movies in a fashion similar to me. Eric now happens to live right here in Portland, which makes it all the more fun.

By the way, BarefootMike=BizanBandit=me.

Episode 12 (6/18/2010): What's your favorite third movie in a series?



Episode 13 (6/25/2010): What is your favorite immature comedy? Where Eric kicks me off the show.



Episode 14 (7/2/2010): What is your favorite teen romance?



Episode 15 (7/9/2010): What is a movie you like but no one else does?



Episode 16 (7/16/2010): What movie let you down the most? I listened to the entire episode, anxiously waiting for them to talk about my submission, and they didn't bring me up at all--which was a first. I felt so disappointed, until they were getting ready to close the show and brought me up--I knew they couldn't resist.



Episode 17 (7/23/2010): What books did you read as a kid? Meg writes in for the first time and feels the rush of euphoria when Eric and Jeff reference her on the air. Barefoot Mike gets a shout-out as well (as controversial as ever).


Episode 18 (7/30/2010): What movie did you flip flop on? I didn't get a mention. So disappointing, until you realize they devoted half the show to an important guest interview over the phone.

Episode 19 (8/6/2010): What's your favorite cop movie? They also briefly describe our encounter at Ground Kontrol.


Episode 20 (8/13/2010): What is your favorite guy movie? Also, Eric validates me.


Episode 21 (8/20/2010): What film disturbed you the most? I don't care for scary movies anymore, so I took a different angle with my answer. I also included Eric's battle with ants, as we've also experienced this quite a bit this year.

Partied Like It's 1999

Image
1999 symbolizes my "freedom" time: I was a college graduate, gainfully-employed, virtually debt-free, and single/childless. I pretty much did what I wanted and didn't have to report to anyone or commit to any thing. This past week felt like I had stepped backwards in time, as Meg decided, on a whim, to drive to Salt Lake City--with kids in tow--and stay with my parents for a week. Since I wasn't part of the road trip, you'll have to encourage her to share any stories , although she has confessed to me that she's done with blogging. Here are the highlights of the back-in-time party that was this week: Exercise : Besides my daily 11-mile round trip commute by bike to the office, I went on three other bike rides around Clackanomah County, swam at the pool twice, and ran once. Cleaning : Organized some of our outdoor living space, cleaned the house from top-to-bottom, washed the G20, cleaned my bike, and manicured the outside landscape. Sleep : Every night wa...

Hiking the Timberline Trail

Image
I don't think I've been on a true backpacking trip before. Back in high school, my friend Bart and I planned a multi-day trip to Carl Lake, but we ended up turning around after one night of camping at Cabot Lake because it was raining so much and we'd rather stay at his family's cabin instead. I also hiked up to Moraine Lake as a scout leader, on the way to South Sister, where we camped in preparation to summit Oregon's third tallest peak, but we left all of our gear at the lake on the second leg of our climb. That was back in 2001. I first learned of the Timberline Trail by reading a brief summary of it in, of all places, Portland Monthly. Sure, it was 35 miles farther than I had ever backpacked before, and it involved two more days and nights, and I would be going solo. But the summer of 2016 is all about change and new beginnings for me. Day 1: Timberline Lodge to Ramona Falls I slept in Tuesday morning, as I was up late Monday night making my final preparat...

A Wild Black Sheep Chase

Image
It all started with a tweet. The tweet guided me to a blog. The blog inspired me to craft an e-mail. The e-mail led to a phone call. And the phone call led to my agreeing to trade my 1993.5 Infiniti G20 for a 2010 Black Sheep commuter bike (1 of only 13 in existence). All of this happened within 24 hours. From New Bike An informal part of our agreement to move to Portland was for me to get rid of my car, since I had committed to biking or riding the bus to work--and I never did drive the G20 once we moved to Portland, except once every other week or so to keep the fluids moving through the car. I had posted my car for sale at the G20 enthusiasts' site , but I didn't get any substantial bites, nor did I do much to promote its sale (Meg would like me to remind you that I took a year to sell my del Sol after buying the Maxima ). So when I saw a blog post about New Belgium's car swap at the Tour de Fat , I called Meg and proposed the idea to her. She thought it sounde...
