I've never been a big fan of Bill Maher. He's always struck me as condescending and arrogant, and that's to someone who tends to agree with his political views more often than I disagree with them. Granted, I don't watch Real Time all that often, so maybe I'm not getting the full picture. But, after seeing a sneak preview of his new documentary, ( Read more... )

Your challenge is to write crossover fanfiction combining The Bible and Homestar Runner.
The story should use competing in a Rock Band tournament as a plot device!

I looked at several of these, and this one made me crack up the most.

I've written a lot about what happened on that beautiful morning on this date over the years. This year, I'm going to let David Letterman and Jon Stewart speak for me, in their opening monologues during their first shows back.

It's fun to live 300 miles inland and still be wondering what a hurricane is going to do to your area. Right now, Ike is ( Read more... )

John's mother has decided to evacuate to Fort Worth ahead of Hurricane Gustav. Instead of putting her up here, with her smoking and the cat that doesn't get along with Gypsy, she'll be staying at the nearby Motel 6. Hopefully (for many many reasons) the visit will be a short one.

Remember last weekend, when I complained that nothing I had wanted to do came off? Well, that wasn't the problem this weekend. If anything, I packed this weekend too full. Of course, most of that fullness involved sitting in darkened theaters, so I didn't do too much socializing, but still, I can't complain about wasting my weekend!

John had wanted ( Read more... )

Specifically, your ego.

Comment and I will tell you something I like about you.

I saw Jersey Boys with my parents last night. I don't want to say too much about the show, since I think I liked it a lot better because I knew very little about Frankie Valli and the band. But it really was an incredible musical. I'm normally not a big fan of jukebox musicals, but in this case, it makes sense, since it's a biomusical, and with a ( Read more... )

Since I like live theater, I tend to go to a lot of plays and musicals. Last weekend, I decided to go see a play put on by a theater company that I had never heard of before.

My original plan was to go Saturday night, but circumstances interfered and I spent most of the evening doing absolutely nothing. They were also doing the show on Sunday night ( Read more... )

Ebert & Roeper have announced they're leaving Ebert & Roeper, which will probably bring an end to one of the most iconic television series ever.

I'm not so sad about Roeper, but I'm saddened about Ebert leaving. Sure, he hasn't been able to be on for two years, but as long as his name was in the title, the show had a link to the good old days. Now ( Read more... )

Last night, while watching The Birdcage on AMC (it's better unedited and commercial-free, but it was the best thing on around midnight), I kept seeing this product advertised during the commercial breaks. All I could think about while watching those ads was "Oh my God". Apparently, I'm not the only one, as The Onion AV Club posted a blog entry ( Read more... )
