•      This is NOT, NOT, NOT directed at anyone in particular*: Whether it's moving back to New Port Richey or getting the hell out of the Tampa Bay area, I'm getting very tired of people acting like South Florida is hell on earth. As much as I can't wait to live somewhere new, I'll never turn my back on all the good memories I've had living in this ( Read more... )

Having never been a jogger, I started slow and short: my route was only a half mile, and I could barely go that distance running the entire way. Eventually, my ( Read more... )

• Iron Man was fun. It may have had the most egregious leaps of logic in any of the recent superhero movies I've seen, but there's no evidence to suggest that the film was meant to be taken so seriously anyway.

•      I've been reading a lot of articles from The Onion's A.V. Club site in my spare time lately. Their features and interviews aren't always the most in-depth reads, nor is the cut of their jib particularly sophisticated, but it's a good antidote to Pitchfork and an excellent time-waster for a pop culture junkie like myself. Today I read two ( Read more... )
