So I've decided to migrate most of my blogging over to my MySpace blog, mainly just to reach a broader audience of friends, to minimize how many different personal websites I waste time on, and because Myspace has the fun and rewarding feature of being able to see how many people have read your blog. This Livejournal will definitely stay up, ( Read more... )

The LA Times has a pretty cool story about the upcoming reality series "Who Wants To Be A Superhero?", which I guess will air on SciFi. The contestants will be judged by none other than Stan Lee. I think his suggestion of a Trump-esque catch phrase -- "Take off your costume!" -- is so lame it's hillarious. Also, for Steve: check out where superhero ( Read more... )

This article about the hypothetical sex lives of movie critics on Nerve is fascinating. At first glance, I almost dismissed it because of the goofy chart they have up top with apparently arbitrary ratings.  But if you read on, the author actually analyzed the critics' movie reviews to divine what sort of fetishes they may have, what type of romance ( Read more... )

Here's a pretty interesting video of the Montys Python, where they appeared in an interview on the Dallas PBS station that aired the first episodes of Monty Python's Flying Circus in the U.S.  It was filmed in 1975, I think, before Holy Grail was even released in theatres, and they talk a bit about the show and censorship in Britain and a stuffed ( Read more... )

This is just awesome -- and oddly disconcerting.  Harry Shearer and Dan Castenella riff with the voices of Simpson's characters on Conan.  Seriously worth watching. 

I shy away from political posts on here, mainly because I'm not sure about where my friends political leanings are and because I'm agressively moderate which just seems to frustrate everyone.  But the other night when I went to get my haircut, I read this article in the back of Time magazine. Chances are Time is going to make you pay to read it, so ( Read more... )

I think I'm going to have the Fragrant Spring Onion Sauce Explodescow Son (#1327), and maybe start with the A West Bean Pays the Fish a Soup.  As far as I know, this is a real Chinese takeout menu.

I used to love Garfield.  In fact, I met the best friends I had in elementary school because we all wanted to borrow each other's Garfield collections that we bought from the Arrow Book Club. But then I guess I outgrew Garfield and now I read much more mature fare like Astonishing X-men. So when I found this thread of Garfield cartoons with ( Read more... )

I'm not sure what I expected when I first checked out Chewbacca's blog but this made me laugh so much my eyes watered.  The pictures alone aren't that funny, but his comments are just sublime.

So I was driving back to Allentown from Woodbine last night, and en route I decided that in honor of the fast-encroaching 10-year anniversary of my high school graduation I'm going to make a mix CD of songs from that era.  I want to have all the songs that I heard constantly that year (specifically, the ones I enjoyed -- there won't be any Live or ( Read more... )
