This is where I can now be found.

I was into the Rays beating the Red Sox, but only because I hate the Red Sox. I can't stand any more of this fairy tale bullshit that the FOX broadcast is attaching to the Rays: it's like they're the new Cubs. I can appreciate the Phillies because, like my White Sox, they are an under-appreciated team. They put a good product on the field pretty ( Read more... )

I am now on Waffles. Waffles has been the top dog in file-sharing networks since OINK was shut down by the UK government, a terrible day in my life and one that took me months to reconcile. Now that I'm on Waffles, I can acquire virtually any album I want to very quickly and painlessly, just like in the good ol' OINK days. This means that I'll be ( Read more... )

I just saw Fucked Up at the picador. I'm physically tired but as is usually the case following an awesome show too pumped to sleep. It was weird to see a show like that in Iowa City. It was only the second time I've moshed in this state. Almost always when I'm doing such things it's in the Chicago area and in the company of my good high school ( Read more... )

I realized while blogging the other day that ( Read more... )

So last night we had a party. Our third party. It was fun. Jim, P.L. Schultz and I went to get two kegs around 8:30. The transaction could not have been smoother. With deposits, it cost 300 dollars and two cents. We had sixty dollar contributions from five roommates and there were two pennies in the jar on the counter. The paperwork was easy too.

It was good while it lasted.

Congrats to the Phillies for winning the NL pennant. Even when my sorry ass sox are out of the picture there are few things as cool as watching a team clinch in October ( Read more... )

Californication, starring David Duchovny. I like this show, I like it a lot. I like the second season, possibly more than its first season (although it's only four or five episodes in). The show has progressed magnificently. My worry following the end of season one was that the show's main arc had ran its course and that it had nowhere left to go. ( Read more... )
