TV Shows and the Internet: A Survey for School
Hi everyone! I know I've been MIA but it's been one of those school years when I'm swamped 24/7, but I could really use a favor from all my TV-loving friends.
I'm doing a final paper on how the internet impacts and augments TV viewing, specifically through things like communities, message boards, and fan sites that allow viewers to connect with ( Read more... ) -
Goodbye Cope
R.I.P. Myron Cope
(1929-2008)
The creator of the terrible towel who gave the all the proceeds and trademark rights to the Allegheny Valley School, which provides care for the developmently challanged, and who spent most of his life trying to raise autism awareness, Cope was truly one of a kind. He was a great man and a Pittsburgh legend, and the ( Read more... ) -
Valentine's Day
Happy Valentine's Day! Not that this holiday means a damn thing when you're single, which is why I wanted to contribute "Boys Lie" to your Valentine's Day. But there wasn't a decent Youtube vid of it so I had to settle for "Better Off Without You," which is still an awesome song with great lyrics. You can still listen to "Boys Lie" here because ( Read more... ) -
it's gonna be a fun semester
It's only the first week of classes and I've already had a Prof. tell me I can't write. Actually, their quote was more like "this isn't writing." Yeah, that's real helpful.
On the plus side, it is Friday. Which means we get one last awesome episode of Moonlight! Somehow, that makes almost everything look better. -
NOOOO!!! Say it ain't so, PNH.
OMG! Linds just texted me to let me know that PNH (the Povertyneck Hillbillies) broke up! We hadn't been to one of their concerts since summer but we were just planning to go to the one in Vandergrift in May. Now we'll never get to see them again, and they'll never release the CD they were working on with the song I've been waiting 2 years for ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
I just wrote 5 pages of my Moonlight fic during a Steelers playoff game. What the heck is wrong with me?! I don't know why I'm lacking the Steeler spirit this year, although it may be a good thing with the way we're playing right now. Oh well, I still got the Pens : D
Besides, it was worth it since I've been blocked on the fic for awhile. The ( Read more... ) -
Best commercial ever
The best commercial ever.
It's about damn time. But you should see all the horrible comments people are leaving on Youtube. They all sound like my old history prof. with the "all we do is kill innocent women and children" bullshit. Those kind of people make me sick. They don't deserve to call themselves Americans. -
Kennywood will never be the same
Awww, they sold Kennywood! I'm so depressed. They sold the family-owned Pittsburgh landmark to some foreign company out of Spain. It's just wrong! It's almost like the Rooney's selling the Steelers...okay, so that would be a million times worse but you get the idea ( Read more... ) -
sears and servicemen
I've never been a big fan of Sears but I gotta give them credit. I just got this e-mail that's been verified by Sears and snopes.com. It says:
How does Sears treat its employees who are called up for military duty? By law, they are required to hold their jobs open and available, but nothing more. Usually, people take a big pay cut and lose ( Read more... )
