Dept. of Jaw-Droppingly Bad Ideas

Please, oh please let this report of a Matt Damon/Ben Affleck remake of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid be untrue. ContactMusic’s not the most reliable site, so there is some hope, but… I mean, I’ll grant you, Damon and Affleck will have the sexual tension undertones well-covered. Still, wow. It takes a lot of ...

The Whining Ceases 6

Well, you won’t hear me whining about not having a job for at least a few months, because…I have a job!

Thoughts Upon The Third Season Premiere of The L Word

My god, why on earth do I watch this show? The writing is terrible, the music is worse, the plot holes are massive, and the continuity errors make me curse.

‘Net, Sweet ‘Net

My, it’s nice to have my computer back. It looks all shiny and new since they replaced the fucked-up case, and runs just swimmingly since they didn’t have to wipe the hard drive. Huzzah!

WOOOOOOOO!

I’m back, baby!

Fuck Fuckity (Screen Falls Off Computer) 2

Well, shit. I’ve had some ongoing problems with the hinge on my computer, and my screen has been flopping backward more and more violently for a couple of months now. Now it’s gotten to the point where it flopped backward so violently earlier this week that it actually damaged the case, and is becoming dangerously ...

An Ode To My Neighbor 2

Bud Light Presents: Real Men Of Genius (Reeeal men of geeeenius!) Today we salute you, Mr. Obnoxious Screaming Steelers fan (Mr. Obnoxious Screaming Steelers fan!) You have no regard for your neighbors when watching 10am games every Sunday, WOO!ing and clapping until you wake up the whole building (WOO! *clap clap clap*) Are you completely ...

Fall 2005 TV Awards From Someone Who Watched Way Too Goddamn Much 1

During my current period of only occasional employment, I’ve had the opportunity to watch an absolutely insane amount of television. So here (after the jump), for your reading pleasure, are the Unemployed Television Nerd Fall 2005 Television Awards. Thanks to Tim Brayton for showing me how to do this whole “only put a wee bit ...
