So, as I've been settling into the new football season and watching some games this weekend, I've seen this new series of commercials the NFL is running to promote its apparel line with the tagline "Everyday Is Like Sunday." Accompanying the commercials is the song "Everyday Is Like Sunday." And who sings this song? Morrissey! The most sensitive ( Read more... )

Oh man. So, things have been rough the last few days. I woke up Thursday morning with a sore throat that spiralled downward into 2 days of constant sleeping and feeling miserable. I don't have anything poignant or meaningful to say about being sick, but instead wanted to share how weird the last few days' schedule has been ( Read more... )

I came across the movie "Adventures Of Buckaroo Banzai  Across The 8th Dimension" on TV a few minutes ago just in time to see a great scene in which a Nuclear War-pondering President of the United States is handed a paperwork form labeled "Declaration Of War: The Short Form."

It gives product descriptions of all the books and comics and other assorted merchandise coming out and I use ( Read more... )

So, when I looked at this summer's listings for movies, I actually found myself excited for the first time in, well, ever. This is the Summer Of The Geek Movies, after all. And yet, somehow, I've managed to miss more than I've seen. I'm behind on my movies. When I left northern Virginia last fall, I lost my moviegoing partner in Susan, and haven't ( Read more... )

So my friend Adrienne wrote me today asking if I had a blog. I wrote back that I had my LJ page and sent her the link to it. Now I'm testing to see if she's reading it.

Adrienne, your father was a hamster and your mother smells of elderberries.

Don't make me taunt you a second time!

Now let's wait and see if she's reading... 

So, next Saturday I have three different things being batted around as possible social activities and I'm not sure which one should take precedence ( Read more... )

So, I've had a lot to drink tonight, and I'm still drinking as I type this. Suffice to say, I'm very drunk, and I'm doing my best to watch my typing and make sure I make some semblence of sense. I've had a bunch on my mind lately, and I figure it's a perfect time to return to LJ, which I had always intended to be my outlet for random ramblings and ( Read more... )
