So I went to see Avatar last night in 3D IMax. What an awesome movie! Seriously, the visuals were just eye-popping. Fuck that. They were eye EXPLODING. The scene that really hit me was...

( Spoiler )

OK, so my uncle is coming out to visit. He's got terminal cancer and is probably going to be dead by June. Guy is not in good shape. He's staying in a hotel about an hour away so he can visit various relatives in the area. Here's the thing... he has not made specific plans yet. With anyone. Heads up. Dan has a life, too. Dan cannot leave his entire ( Read more... )

So the Phils traded Cliff Lee away to Seattle for Roy Halliday. Good move, I say. Here's why. The two pitchers have very similar career stats (they're both bona fide aces with a Cy Young). The prospects that go along with the deal (on both sides) are more or less equal. The big difference here is that Lee is only under contract through next season ( Read more... )

So Eric's doing some homebrewing (mostly some pretty badass beers) and one of the things he's making is apfelwein (basically hard apple cider). The rest is self explanatory ( Read more... )

So the EPA has just declared carbon emissions to be a public health threat. What does this mean? In brief, it means that the EPA can slap carbon regulations on businesses and private individuals without any say-so from Congress ( Read more... )

Wow. My new laptop fucking rocks. Less than 200 bucks for a killer little system that does everything I want it to do, and does it QUICKLY!? Oh hell yeah. I'm gonna be getting this bad boy set up the way I like all week. I've already gotten virus protection, TweakUI, Limewire, and a few other badass apps ( Read more... )

Today is a good day ( Read more... )

I put Tucker Max to shame.

Just waiting for my morning wood to go away so I can get a couple things done around the farm and head up to Eric's for a weekend of recording. Err.... ok for like a day and a half of recording. Should be fun. Catcha on the flipside.

Seriously, though. Someone on facebook had this awesome idea to donate a dollar to the Matthew Sheppard Foundation in Fred Phelps' name every time the "God hates fags" motherfuckers protest somewhere. Think about it. Don't show up to counter-protest. That just gives those assholes the media attention they crave. Instead, donate money to a gay- ( Read more... )

Well, it's official! The Phils have picked up Placido Polanco to play 3rd for the 2010 season! He hit .285 this year in the AL, which should put in around .300 hitting in the NL. Not to mention he's a 3-time gold glover. That being said, his age is a BIT of a concern... he's 33 and we signed him to a 3-year deal, but I guess we'll find out ( Read more... )
