Get your Tweets on Live Sunday Feb. 27th!

Get your Academy Award Tweets right here, live on Sunday. Yep, I'll be Tweeting during the West Coast airing of the "Academy Awards," talking about everything from who wins, who should have won and I will channel my inner Tim Gunn and talk fashion as well.

Here's the deal though, I won't be tweeting or watching for that matter the pre show crap... yep I said it... for me... it's all about the show! So follow me on Twitter at: http://www.twitter.com/MDavidLeeIII and we'll see you live on Sunday!!!!

Where is everybody?

In an empty theater to see, "The Kings Speech" On one hand I'm totally loving it having it all to myself, but this is the only Academy Award nominated film playing at this 14-Plex... Don't get me started on that... But the other theaters seem to be packed.

Yes some of them are kids films, I get that bit most are things no one should even have on their Netflix account... Even if they were free!

What is going on with this world? Where are my "Filmies?"

When did $5 become the new $20?

It's a simple question and one that's been sitting with me for weeks now. I remember a time... I won't go all totally old school on you like my Dad use to tell me when he went to the movies growing up and could see three feature films and 15 cartoons on a Saturday for a dime... but I DO remember a time when I could leave my house with only $5 bucks in my pocket and do things for a day and actually come back with some change! You simply can't escape inflation, I understand that, but when $5 dollars just doesn't last past a Starbucks to start your day, then you know we're all in trouble!

Now first, in the interest of full disclosure, I am one of those people who rarely carry any cash on me, I still try to put myself on a budget for a day before I head out the door, but I get kicked in the teeth right away no matter how good I'm trying to be.

I don't spend money on Starbucks or any local coffee, I make my own during the week. And I try not to eat lunch out too often and if I do, I really do buy cheap! But it's the darn weekend when I head to a mobile office, try to get some work done. Get a nice coffee and maybe a danish and boom, $5 has magically turned into $20... if I'm lucky... by the time the day is done.

I don't know if there is a remedy for this, but just something that's been rattling around in my head. Oh and in case you're wondering... just because $5 is the new $20, doesn't mean I have any more to go around... I'm still among the working poor!

Just a Day At the Beach... In February!

I have to admit, one of the best advantages of living on the "Left Coast" is without a doubt the weather! I mean look at this place!

And it's February! Don't get me wrong I love the fact that I grew up in Brookline, made a good name for myself in film in Memphis, and would love to live back in

Manhattan again, but there is just something little magical about being at the beach that I am drawn to constantly.

I don't know where my journey through this thing we call life will take me next, but at least for this one day... one moment in time(Sorry NCAA/CBS)... Being in Californian at Moss Landing State Beach...

Life is pretty good!

Not feeling it too much...

Now I realize I don't really have a dog in the fight... please no smartass Michael Vick comments here, but the NFC Championship game isn't turning me on that much... really not at all.

I love NFL football and during the regular season it's really good especially when there are some marquee match-ups, but I feel with the wait... the pre-game over hype and the scheduling of the games... pushing both back late, I'm not feeling the love.

And to be honest it really doesn't stop with Championship Sunday. After today we'll have to wait two weeks until the Super Bowl and more over the top breakdown of everything from the hotel the teams will be staying at to what happen the last time they were in the Super Bowl to finally near the end of the list... info on the actual game!

I know some of it is just the business and it's life... but I wish something could be done to make the whole process better. It would probably start with not having the college season end two to three weeks after the first of the year and the Super Bowl not being played in February, oh and maybe not doing specials on the commercials that are supposed to be so cool on Super Sunday.

OK now I'm just venting... who knows maybe I'll feel differently after the Jets-Steelers... but truth be told... I don't think so.

Happy Kids Day!

OK, first this is a new blog that will be a departure a bit from that of, "The InsideSkinny" which of course is the blog for Triple Sticks Productions. Don't get me wrong, I'll be writing there as well, but this... this blog is designed to be a little more personal... a little more out there... a little more dangerous/funny if you will.

The title comes from exchanges with my daughter Sage, who you will soon learn I love more than sliced bread! "Ketch-Fraze," is a play on, "Catch-Phrase." When we're together I share several of them with her like, "No Guts No Glory," "Go Big or Go Home," or the classic one from my GaGa... my grandmother who has long since passed away... "Lazy Man Works the Hardest!" So that's how this blog got it's name.

I intend to just write and post things that I find interesting... period. No designed agenda, as of yet... just thoughts and observations that I'd like to share with the world and my friends.

So on this, "Kids Day" dubbed so by my daughter many, many years ago, I wish you all a happy day! What is kids day... awww buddy it's when all of the numbers line up.

How about a little kids day math to help you understand what it is... this year happening twice and 8 times: 11.11.1.11.11X2 + 1.11.1.11.11X2 + 11.11.11.11.11X2 + 1.11.11.11.11X2 = KIDS DAY!!!

Just a glimpse into what this bad boy will be about!
