I just finished watching the new mentalist search show with Uri Geller and Criss Angel, Phenomenon. The show itself is pretty standard as far as the contest shows go, each contestant demonstrates his/her talent and the audience gets to vote on their favorite, or least favorite contestants. But this time they’re looking for mentalists – […]
Funny Stuff
Really funny . . . just go here.
Lowering Our Carbon Footprint, part 2
Earlier this year I wrote about how Jerry and I have bought an engine-less lawnmower in Lowering Our Carbon Footprint, part 1. I guess the next logical thing to write about is the car. Since we live in Wisconsin, it’s nearly impossible to fill up a hydrogen, biodiesel, or other alternate-fuel using car. Jerry had […]
Military Recruiters Lie
They do. Maybe not all of them, but some do. I was lied to – I know. I don’t remember the recruiter’s name, but I bet it’s on some of this old paperwork in my filing cabinet. The biggest lie that I was told was that lieing on my application (is that what it is?) […]
Oh, Henry!
We saw Henry Rollins do his spoken word thing tonight at the Rave. It was amazing! Henry spoke for three hours – if only the Rave had seating that didn’t bruise your tailbone! Let me take you back to the beginning of my Rollins experiences. It was the early ’90’s and MTV still (sometimes – […]
Unfortunate Distraction
I was about to go shower this morning, but I heard the people on the Today Show mention that Don Imus was coming back to the radio and I was sufficiently distracted from everything. Unfortunately, I’m sure this news will distract many others from more important things in their lives, as well. For more information, […]
Rant
I was looking through some old files today and found this. I’m not sure what I did with it when I originally wrote it. I may have sent it somewhere – a newspaper, perhaps. Or I might just have let it sit there, encoded as 1’s and 0’s on my hard drive. I thought I’d […]
Cadillac’s attempt at cool
I was watching tv today and saw an ad with one of my favorite songs from the ’90’s in it. Cadillac has apparently just discovered a band that broke up years ago . . . HUM. They were one of my favorite bands for quite a while, with two albums, “Downward is Heavenward” and “You’d […]
Boo to VH1
Not that VH1 was ever super cool or anything, but they really screwed up this time, I think. They had a countdown on VH1 Classic titled “Women Who Rock”. Needless to say, I expected the word “rock” to mean something here. It seems it only meant what you mean when you tall a friend who […]
Music
Just bought the new A New Found Glory CD yesterday. They have come a long way since they started. They certainly don’t sound like they’re 12 anymore. They don’t exactly sound grown up, yet, either. That’s cool. The new CD is fun. From the Screen to Your Stereo part II contains some very fun covers. […]
