Let Us Not Weep; Let Us Groove.
Shaft’s Big Score has what absolutely must be the funkiest musical accompaniment of any funeral scene ever.
Granted, Shaft got a nice wardrobe upgrade in the sequel– the leather trench and fedora would be tough to beat if there were a fashion competition between black private dicks who’re sex machines […]

Stay Up Late!
Appropriately, on the night of the “Insomniac” season premiere, I’m sittin’ up late for no good reason. I haven’t even had any beverages with the words ‘mountain’ or ‘dew’ in them today! Does pudding = sleeplessness? Maybe it was some sort of new Jell-O Pudding X-Treme*, and I didn’t read […]

Soon June
Sunburned face, poison ivy ankles (and shins, I think) and a few sore muscles. Hellooooo summer!
Well, the burn will fade soon enough, the muscles will feel better with more exercise, and hopefully we can keep the poison below the knees. Ugh. Why the burn and soreness? Softball, suckas! That’s […]
On The Upside:
1) I’m not in debt.2) I’m not a heroin addict, so that cuts down on heroin spending like… a lot.3) Lyza is coming to visit this summer.4) Finding Nemo starts soon!5) Still have The Twins as neighbors, and their geeky interests seem to be diverse and impressive.6) I’m pretty happy with my slowly-expanding […]
The Itchy & Must-Not-Scratchy Show
What the freak is wrong with my ankles? It feels like I’ve got poison ivy on both of them. This is strange, because I haven’t been in any woods lately, and even on my recent trip to Stone Mountain, I stuck to the sidewalks and was wearing jeans. […]
Tengalo Su Manera
I would have to say that the best part of today’s trip to Burger King was definitely when that guy in the mariachi suit came in and started joking with the entire kitchen staff like they were his best friends (I assume they were), and then breaks into song en espanol.
The worst part? […]
The Mysterious Nick C
I’m not usually one for the melancholy, but if you’re in some kinda “she/he sure was cool/miss someone” mood, I recommend “Into My Arms” by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. My copy is on the Zero Effect soundtrack. Things get pepped up by the Mary Lou Lord track that […]
WRAScally Wrockers
The good folks at WRAS put on a pretty good shindig down at the Echo Lounge last night. I got to see/meet some friends and witness the almighty force of nature that is Mono from Japan. They lived up to the earplug warning the MC gave before they started their set, and […]
Don’t Believe The Hype
…and by hype, I mean the naysayers in the press and pseudo-press regarding The Matrix Reloaded. I’m not going to say it’s perfect, but I did think that it was a darn impressive piece of film that should most certainly be experienced on the big screen with a phat-ass speaker system.
Most […]
