Is it bad that I have nothing to look forward to?
That is, with Spore's release delayed beyond 2007 (possibly post-March 2008). This was like the thing I've been waiting all year for, and it repeatedly gets pushed back month after month. Since being mesmerized by the first preview over three years ago, I have to say I'm pretty disappointed with Maxis and EA. After pouring nearly $100 million ( Read more... ) -
How much are we stealing this time?
On Father's Day my parents and I went to see Ocean's Thirteen at Crossroads 16, a Carmike Cinema in Conyers. They've had DLP projectors there for about six months now, and I have to say the quality is so crisp and clear compared to the normal film projectors I'm used to. It's basically like watching a dvd on a gigantic screen.
The movie was a ( Read more... ) -
Either disconcerting or liberating..
..that I can pack up my belongings and move in a few hours. I find it gratifying to know that I'm such an efficient packer though. After ten moves in the past six years, I've learned how to prioritize my packing. It sucks not having a truck though. I dislike having huge hemi hogs on the road when there's an energy crisis, but at the same time, ( Read more... ) -
Movies, films, etc.
Saw Georgia Rule with my parents today. I have to say I'm disappointed with the RT meter again. Although I don't think it deserves a really high rating, 19% is terrible. I don't think film buffs understand the dark comedy genre. It's okay for movies to poke fun at the things we don't talk about in public, right? riggght? Or is "black comedy" a ( Read more... ) -
Joseph Arthur's "In the Sun"
I heard this song during a Scrubs rerun on Comedy Central, and I couldn't get it out of my head. I wish I could say I don't like sappy, religious songs, but it just isn't true. I listen to the Sufjan Stevens album Seven Swans all the time, and it has tons of Christian allegories and metaphors. And probably my favorite song of all time is "O Holy ( Read more... ) -
Frost Towers don't work on pink Creeps
Simple games are more often than not quite boring and tedious. But every once in a while, a game comes along that actually sends me into an addictive craze. Currently that game is Desktop Tower Defense. When I first saw my roommate playing it, I didn't think it looked that fascinating, but when I sat down and started to delve into it, I realized ( Read more... ) -
Google Please
I just discovered that a Google Search for "atlanta news" (no quotes) returned this article second. Of all the articles it could have posted, it posted this lame story about a supposed terrorist act two years ago. It's not even a sub-article under 11alive. It's number 2 on its own. I want to know who's linking to this story. -
Late Night Tales
I'm such a huge Air fan, I've decided to go ahead and get all their most recent albums. Turns out, I have all but one, a compilation album they made called LateNightTales: Air. Upon further searching, I found out that other artists have done "LateNightTales" albums. Check out this list. The albums are from well-respected artists who include ( Read more... ) -
Hippie Kai-yi-yay, Hippie Kai-now-what!?
Kyle and I were discussing Christine Taylor (because I brought up her marriage to Ben Stiller), and he knew her as Melody while I called her Matilda. Matilda is a character on Zoolander, while Melody is a character on Hey Dude an old show on Nickelodeon. After I looked at the IMDB description of the show, I had no recollection of it. However ( Read more... )
