Yeah, I went there. This is more of a response to a challenge than anything else. One of my buddies posted his top 100 on facebook the other day, with the top ten being separated out. It took me a minute to realize the significance of this; It’s been a freaking DECADE since 2000?!?!! My … Continue reading
This past saturday I was at Target and came across the U.S. version of Life On Mars for $14.99. I had only seen a few scenes of it, namely the intro to the penultimate episode which plays Lou Reed’s awesome “Satellite Of Love” during it and the beginning of the final episode, and nothing else. … Continue reading

Christmas Came Early?If you are celebrating Christmas this year, are you like me and have already received your Christmas gift? With Walmart, Target, and Best Buy and online stores battling each other for Christmas customers, there are insanely low prices on electronics this year. I bought my wife an ACER netbook in September. That was … Continue reading
I promised in my earlier blog that I would discuss the themes of Twilight and expand on the previous defense I gave. Not to say that this expansion is to cover and defend this aspect of the property. That would be pretty silly of me, who counts himself as a feminist. There are a lot … Continue reading
