So my car was temporarily salvaged thanks to a man called Walt who we found through Craigslist, who's a Saab enthusiast, and fixes up Saabs as a hobby and doesn't even charge for labour, just parts.

The Dirty Dozen -- Lee Marvin, John Cassavettes, Donald Sutherland, Charles "Harmonica" Bronson.. How could they remake it today? Who could possibly star in it that would have as much appeal as the original cast ( Read more... )

I can't believe I'm just now discovering how good Muse is. I heard them a few years ago, thought they sounded annoyingly exactly like Radiohead and totally dismissed them. Well, last night I heard the song "Supermassive Black Hole", had no idea who it was by the whole time listening to it thinking "Who is this band?? They friggin rock" The last ( Read more... )
