Saw the IMAX Shine the Light Stones concert the other night. The Audio alone is worth the price of admission. You can tell the Mick and the boys have had not ‘work’ done on there appearances. They do look their age. I wish I had their energy.

In this writer-striken season of pablum (Cashmere Mafia. - It’s Sex and the City but with four Miranda’s!), one tends to be more excited by things than normal.
Are you excited about Survivor?
In truth, it should be called Fans Vs. Contestants.
I haven’t watched every season of Survivor but I am pop culturally aware of almost all the [...]

Yes. It’s that time again.
We’re introducing another weekly feature.
This time, advertising doozies (or don’tzies) of the past.
All in all this was a more effective remedy than the hammer and mallet remedy of the previous decade.
But this product obviously fell by the wayside with the introduction of the much more affordable Crack Rock Headache and Toothache [...]

Sarah Silverman was on (her boyfriend) Jimmy Kimmel’s tv show and had some things she needed to get off her chest. Or off her ”apples.” Whatever.
SPOILER ALERT: The name of the song is “I’m f***ing Matt Damon. It is, however, all bleeped out.
Matt Damon delivers some awesome back-ups. And a big ‘Thank You’ to Matt for constantly referring [...]

Oh.
Oh. They most certainly did.
How many other bands debut to a full crowd (small bar but, probably 75 people) and have a crowd that begs for an encore even after the singer informs them that they don’t know anymore tunes???
“Well, Play ones you already played before!” the crowd demanded.
The Sheeps obliged.
Glory Story was great. Some Honey Pot ladies [...]

I just cannot do it! Cherry Chocolate Diet Dr. Pepper.
Cherry Vanilla made a bit of sense, hearkening back to soda fountain days. But I really don’t think soda jerks were pouring a lot of chocolate syrup into cokes. Maybe I’m wrong?
All the advertising makes it look disgusting. The soda can is split open to reveal [...]

You know how, like, when you were little and you really desperately wanted a pony? And how it was like probably the only thing in the whole world that would make you really, really, really happy? And, maybe you didn’t even have to own it outright, but you would just feed it and groom it and [...]

Growing up in Michigan, we had your typical mid-western breakfast options like eggs any which way, oatmeal, pancakes/waffles, etc. All good, but nothing to write a blog entry about.
Then I moved to North Carolina and learned about biscuits. Biscuits in Michigan were kind of dense and crumbly, and not all that tasty, functioning better as [...]

In the 80’s, the yuppie phenomenon personified greed run rampant. And every self-respecting yuppster had to drive a BMW and wear a Rolex. A bimmer and a roller. And since that time, Rolex and BMW have suffered from what can be called the “asshole factor”. But I think the asshole factor has more to do [...]

A few thoughts on SciFi’s mini series Tin Man that I just got around to watching last night (4 hours of tv takes less than 3 hours thanks to DVR! Thanks, DVR); it bears mentioning that the dialogue was really clunky at times and you may have to have an understanding of Zooey Deschanel’s acting [...]

I like to read crap. Books that are the equivalent of watching a spectacular summer-time action/adventure blockbuster, but hopefully done really well. And Clive Cussler fits the bill. Although he has a few different series, I’ve basically stuck to the Dirk Pitt stories for a few reasons:
1. I like Dirk as a character. Besides his [...]

I told you people to watch Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace when it was airing on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim but you didn’t and sadly, now it has run its course.
The show is about horror writer Garth Marenghi who (along with his publisher) stars in the tv series based on his own works. They also produce and direct. [...]
