Pretty sure I have the same amount of (time and) cajones as you do. Hit the "Comment" button below!

These are things I recently wrote while listenting to music. They might be connected, they might not be connected. One song lead to another, so the settings and the tempo changed. Not sure if the character(s) changed or not, that's for you decide: Her hair hung in curls and I could see just how wet it was, not from the small pinch-sized droplets hanging at the bunched ends but from the dresses

Normally I’m not this forthcoming with serious advice or plans for zombie apocalypse survival. Why? Because it truly is every zeep for him or herself on ZA Day! I think every prepper worth his or her salt would back me up on that. Who in their right mind would disclose specifics of their escape plan or the location of their buried bug-out bag, right? The devil’s in the details...and we all know

During Season Two of The Walking Dead, the two fan-camps that debated the loudest were undoubtedly Team Shane and Team Rick. Seriously. Take a minute and look around if you don’t believe me! Visit fan forums or listen to podcasts; I’ll be right here when you’re done. It’s hard not to notice comments of a Team Shane/Rick persuasion showing up, right? Not saying that membership on either side was

I walk away from "Obstacle 1" for months at a time. Then suddenly, it's the only thing I want to listen to. I'm on listen #4 and it's not even noon. Goddamn it's catchy. Dueling guitars, respectable bassline, warbling vocals. Alluring subject matter. Turn on the Bright Lights is their first and their best; there are gems on subsequent albums, but the difference is that there are fewer spaces

To mark my monumental return to the blogosphere (and cancer-like invasion into Tweetspace), I'd like to play a game of Is That a Real Life Superhero or a Luchadore? Two pics below. One (or both) is a costumed vigilante/"social activist"...or is one (or both) just a Mexican wrestler?

After a few months into the pregnancy, your Ma and I quickly determined that your Da’s paycheck was going to be stretched a lot further than before. So we started by (among other things) dropping cable. We had a DVR with HBO and a hundred channels of nothing; we scaled back to the basic tier and saved ourselves more than $50 a month. It’s funny, because as I write this I’m betting you’ll have no

I liken the last 72 hours to reading the screenplay of a horror movie; no one will ever be able to convince me that reading horror emotes the same kind of reaction as watching it. One is all about the thrills, the chills, the special effects, the immediacy; the other is more of a head-game where the seemingly endless exposition lingers and haunts after you've put the book down. But since

From the guy who brought you "Al Spoils [some movie I probably didn't like]" comes the first installment of the soon-to-be-a-classic SiS series "I Will Pay...". Wherein our hero will share a dream or a goal or a desire and how much cold-hard cash our hero is willing to shell out for services rendered. So let's get started! ...$50 for a 160GB Western Digital "My Book" external hard drive (

What I'm really digging on with this one is your choice of color. The use of color leaves a little to be desired, but then that might be your overall intent and who am I to question that. But I like the crisp green at the bottom and the mellow red off to the sides. That and I like the one single red line that cuts across the car and into the text. You executed that nicely; it doesn't appear out

I just wanted to thank you again. Yesterday we walked all the way out to the lake, you were insistent on seeing the ducks even though we had no bread to throw their way. You rode my shoulders from the playground, past the tennis courts, and then when we got to that spot on the trail that overlooks the lake a crane flew overhead and perched itself on a faraway tree branch. You stared at it for a

Three surgeries and you’re not even two. The next one is an osteotomy. The way I understand it is that Dr. C is going to drive a pin into both your taluses, separate them, cast your feet back up, let things heal for November, and then we’ll take you back and he’ll remove the pins. In addition to that, they’re lengthening the Achilles’ tendon on your right leg because it’s grown more stubborn than

I like what you did with the place, whether it was a mistake or not. 'Cuz now I can redecorate however I see fit. Maybe I'll post up my own Pandora music box; Lord knows I'm listening to mine more than you're listening to yours.Speaking of music, the Internet Archive has ten (ie. 10) Animal Collective shows. I know you missed 'em at Cat's Cradle. Did you miss 'em on NPR too?

Mayhaps. That's the best I can muster right now. I'm looking around at what I've done to this place and I see where it needs some polish over there, some dusting over here.

If there were any justice in the world and if Regis had any balls his first question out of the bag will be, "So, Wayans brothers, are you planning to give the incomparable Chuck Jones any credit for straight-up jacking this classic

For those who don't know, Malkin may have finally stepped out of Ann's shadow and sunk to all new lows of punditry sleaziness. She posted the contact information of an antiwar student organization on the campus of US Santa Cruz.

This is my brother-in-law, Brian Williams posing somewhere inside an Afghan National Police compound. He reports that they've kept him very busy since his arrival. It basically sounds like a simple schedule: missions every single day. No rest on the weekends. Some missions are an hour long, "but the bulk are in the 8 hour range". Wednesday had him passing out rice and beans (apparently enough to

Apparently the U.S. Library of Congress has deemed SY's classic Daydream Nation "worthy of preservation". I second that emotion. (And to continue a slight self-referential trend I've been noticing here lately, I truly hope this helps the losers at UPenn realize they have absolute no taste.)

Rick lives in Greensboro. I do not. Therefore, I'm entitled to stand on my moral high-ground.Greensboro, Greensboro, Greensboro! I am shocked, awed, and blushing at my recent findings. There's a feature on Netflix called "Local Favorites" (unfortunately, this won't be a proper blog post as I can't link to it directly) where users can view popular rentals from certain zip codes.

Way back, last January, I reported from Durham's Nevermore Film Festival about a fun action flick called Ong-Bak. (Here's where all you Netflixers can add it to your queue.) Well, apparently there will be a sequel. Check out Dawn of the Dead director Zack Snyder talking about adapting Frank Miller's 300 in WMP, in QuickTime, in RealMedia.

Again, quoting from AACRAO:As the House opened floor debate this morning on the bill to reauthorize the Higher Education Act, opposition to the legislation gained momentum. The growing list of higher education groups opposing the bill ranges from faith-based college associations to student organizations and faculty groups.
