I watch a lot of TV. An unusual amount. Thankfully my mind has yet to wither away, so take that naysayers! TV has been shown not to have any significant impact on a child's GPA as well. I actually think TV is more of a learning outlet than people think, and I'm not just talking about the History Channel or a Mythbusters marathon. You just have to ( Read more... )

You would think (I would) that I would be the type of person to have some sort of vendetta against holiday music. Now granted I'm not too fond of hearing them on the radio the day after Halloween, I seem to have an odd affinity for it, but not necessarily the Christmas classics that everyone knows. Sure, "White Christmas," "Rockin' Around the ( Read more... )

This week, for whatever reason, Spike TV has played all three Star Wars prequel movies on back to back to back nights, and tonight I watched a significant amount of Episode III for the first time since it appeared in theaters in 2005. There is something that is always going to bother me about the prequels, and it has nothing to do with their ( Read more... )

This is a great time for us all.For three hours every Monday night for the past seven weeks I have sat in the largest lecture hall on campus listening to various lectures about The Beatles.

Until the day I move to a large enough place (which may be very soon) when I FINALLY bring my Foosball table down to join me in San Diego, the greatest thing I ever took from my house when I left for college would be my mom's old waffle iron (I actually took it beginning my 2nd year, but that is irrelevant to the point ( Read more... )

Last night was Halloween for those of you who live in the basement under the people who live under a rock, and I declined to go to a party. I spent $20 on a costume, which, as being Fry, only required the purchase of a red Hanes jacket and 3 white FotL T-shirts that I could use multiple times and look completely normal anyway. In other words, I ( Read more... )

Not twenty minutes ago I finished eating a Footlong turkey sandwich from Subway, along with lemonade, a bag of original Sun Chips, and a chocolate chip cookie. Despite that, I feel like I could eat about two Whoppers from the recently opened Burger King in the food court ( Read more... )

...a tube of toothpaste. Right when you take it out of the box it's perfectly formed and smooth, a real work of art. And all it takes is one squeeze in the middle to fuck it up. Sure, you try and be ideal by squeezing from the end, but it's just inevitable that the tube is not going to stay in its equilibrium. No one has the control to squeeze the ( Read more... )
