I’ve mentioned here before how I get my comics shipped to me every month from back at my favorite comic shop Amazing Fantasy* in Chicago (Tinley Park technically). Yesterday my stash from September arrived. I read the essentials first, and had planned on sifting through the rest today, so I thought I’d go over my … Continue reading
Considering that this is a movie-based website, I figured I’d give back to the CHUD community a little bit and actually write about movies. But I’m going to write about MY movies. I own exactly seventy-five. The criteria for my collection is this: if I won’t rewatch it, I will sell it and get rid … Continue reading
I am SO belated here, but it’s a loose end, so let’s tie it up: The news hit the trades a few weeks ago, just before the fifth season completed airing, that Rescue Me will finish for good on its final season in 2011. Which makes sense, I suppose: most of the best … Continue reading
Now, I know that’s a pretty incendiary title for a blog. And let me assure you all, I will one day visit Switzerland. I’m not saying ‘fuck you’ to the Swiss people, who like any other country of people are probably, for the most part, a great people. I am however saying that, to use … Continue reading
Drunk driving. It seems like everybody does it. And I’m sick of seeing it. Both white collar and blue collar businessmen stumble out of the bar I work at. I have a hard time keeping my mouth shut about it too, as some leave barely being able to walk, stumbling into the turnstiles which only … Continue reading
Last night I was all tucked in, and ready to fall asleep, and what happens? I spend about 4 hours tossing and turning, and even sweating in my bed. Mind you, the air conditioner was on, so I couldn’t believe that I was sweating. The thing is, I usually can tell when it’s going to … Continue reading
I was recently driving through the mountains of South-East Oregon en route to a hike. Peering along the roadside, I noticed a sign pointing to a small town. The town’s name was Sleepy Hollow. I half-way chuckled to myself, think about the obvious homage to the classic Irving tale. It also sent a small chill … Continue reading
I have a bad habit. I look at books and make judgments based on their covers. Now, I am not a racist. Nor am I, I hope, a moron. But for some reason I do this judging thing to books despite knowing, colloquially, what a bad idea it is. Hell, there’s even a popular proverb … Continue reading
I understand that it’s important to be GREEN*. To be conscious of energy concerns. My car gets decent mileage. I throw my shit in the trash. I get pissed at people who litter and wish I was allowed to shoot people in the face if I see them fucking up. I recycle my tampons. I … Continue reading
As I’ve said in previous blog posts, I like to eat. A lot. A few years back I lost all the weight I gained in college, and I was the most trim I’d EVER been. I lost approximately 30 pounds. Sadly I wasn’t able to maintain it and I gained it all back. I’ve been … Continue reading
