A couple weeks ago Kelly was sent a link to a recut trailer to The Shining, in which it makes the movie look like a G-rated Disney flick. I told him that many moons ago I had found what I thought was the originator of this trend. He instantly wanted to see it, and I […]
My mom’s been doing lots of things to improve her eco footprint, but there’s no shame in nagging her about more things she can do. Plus, most of the time it’s not me nagging her; I just need an excuse to talk about more things I’ve learned and what better way to do it than […]
This has been around for years, but damn it makes me laugh every time. The good folks at Robot Chicken made a uber-long stop-motion movie based on all the Star Wars films. It’s damn funny, is all I will say. This is just one scene from the movie, but I highly encourage you to scour […]
So on the tube the other night pops up this commercial that made me laugh and feel uncomfortable for the “actors” who have to star in this commercial. My joy in watching this TV spot was as boundless … First off, this is quickly entering the pantheon of hilarious infomercials. How many takes do you […]
Well, it had to happen eventually. I was getting fed up with not getting enough running in, and after several months of not getting out there enough, it was time to hit the pavement and start getting back into running shape.

Tonight I’m going to see one of my favorite bands live. I got into Frightened Rabbit about three years ago when my buddy Dan gave me one of their albums. I’ve been hooked on them ever since and since they are a Scottish band, the times when they actually come over to the U.S. are […]
I have a ton of CDs. I love music, and listen to it all the time. I’m pretty much game for anything except for that shitty-ass country music that makes me want to kick a twangy-singing fool in the throat. And since my very first CD that I bought way back in the early 90s, […]
By now those close to me know that something really awful happened to me Monday night. For legal reasons it’s best, for now, that I don’t give any opinions about it. So for the time being, those who want to know what happened, here is a link to the police report. […]
Here is my column from last week. The games I reviewed were WarioWare D.I.Y. and Red Steel 2. Plus, this is the second time I have seen my column recently published in the Seattle Times. Nice to see my column breaking into a new market. […]
