Two weeks ago tomorrow I was in Chicago for the Jesus Lizard’s first show in ten years*. I pretty much flew home just for the event. Not that I don’t go home every year to see my friends and family, but I never go in fucking July, that is for sure. I moved to get … Continue reading
On sunday, and monday, my wonderful girlfriend made me dinner. First it was deep frying fish (delicious) then it was chicken fajitas. I’ve been telling her for some time that I’d write a blog about her and how we met. Being as extremely modest as she always is, she asks “why?” I said simply “Because … Continue reading
Two years ago this week I moved to Atlanta, Georgia, sight-unseen. My ex had gotten the corporate job we’d waited forever for and having nothing else going for me (or so I believed), I bravely followed him. In the middle of the night, we moved our stuff into a house I’d never seen to the … Continue reading
Going to the San Diego Comic-Con is like getting fisted by the beefy, greased-up hand of Kirstie Alley. At first it’s kind of pleasant and you’re mildly star-struck, but eventually the pain sets in and you’re overcome with an overwhelming sense of shame. And after the whole miserable affair is over, you’re left shaking underneath … Continue reading
I’m not one to complain too much about hipsters. Sure, the guy at the bar this weekend in the skinny jeans and porkpie hat sort of annoyed me when he rolled up on his single gear bicycle and started smoking a pipe, but I have a subscription to McSweeney’s. I know when my houses are … Continue reading
Okay, admission: I know GIJOE is going to be bad. I wish I could say otherswise, but really? I know it, I know it, I know it. ‘Nuff said, right? Wrong. I have, quite literally, waited for this movie for most of my life. I can remember being in first or second grade, which would … Continue reading
I’ve already blogged about my iPod Classic that I got, and love dearly. It’s seriously that awesome, and even though price was keeping me from it before, it’s most definitely worth the price I paid for it. Since I had to get some new earphones for it, I went with a brand that I’ve been … Continue reading
Warning # 1: by reading this, you might die of chronic boredom. Warning # 2: it will be infested with spoilers. Warning # 3: my stupid opinions are just that – stupid opinions. If at any point they seem patronizing, then… what? They are stupid opinions. Just ignore them and move on. In the final … Continue reading
Elizabethtown came out in October of 2005, and I was the only person at my school who cared that it existed, and the only person (at the time) who fell for it. The past few years have been about coming to grips with this fact, and the fact that aside from Almost Famous, it’s actually … Continue reading
If you would like to hear dialogue like this delivered whole-heartedly from people dressed like el debarge rejects I strongly suggest going back and reacquainting yourself (or maybe for the first time) with Miami Vice. No, not the movie update Michael Mann did a couple of years ago (not that it was bad – I … Continue reading
