There are a lot of reasons I’m glad I got out of sound design, but the principal among them is that I was getting to the point where I was paying more attention to how a movie sounded then whether it was actually good or not. Sometimes, however, something sounds so horrible that my inner ...

You know you’ve been having a long week when you get out of work, look at your watch and think, “Hey, that was only an eleven hour day!” And then two hours later you think…ONLY an eleven-hour day?!

I was just watching Headline News and saw Kendis Gibson, their entertainment reporter, make the following atrocious statement: “Well, there are women around the country who are wishing they had a baby with Sean “P. Diddy” Combs, because one of his mothers…er, one of the mothers of his sons…er…one of his babymamas is about to ...

I think the most ridiculous example of the overreaction to Janet Jackson’s boobalicious halftime show and the consequent scandal has been found. Apparently, in the post-boob era, puppet sex leads to an NC-17 rating. A snippet of the most ridiculous portions: “There’s nothing we’re asking for that hasn’t appeared in other R-rated movies, and our ...

I have to say, I do love Old Navy. But I need to stay the fuck away from their website. I bought a TON of clothes there the other day, because I had gone to my local store and they were out of my size in my favored style of pants. And I must have ...

Remember when I totally spaced out on my boss? Turns out, according to an Ig Nobel Prize-winning study, I wouldn’t have noticed even if she was wearing a gorilla suit. A summary of the study’s findings, and videos of these dumbasses. And, of course, the complete list of this year’s winners.

Before I begin, I’ll direct y’all to the album of pictures I took at Brendan and Tara’s wedding. Best way to view it is to click “Slideshow,” and read along with the comments. Anyway, the wedding was in East Lansing, Michigan at the Michigan State Alumni Chapel. I finally found out why: It’s where Tara’s ...

At long last, baseball returns to my hometown. I think I might now officially have a National League team. For the record, I will still be rooting for the O’s, since I grew up rooting for them. However, they’re currently in a state of perpetual suckage, so it’ll be nice to have another bad team ...
