Hilarity
1 - 2 - Cock - Twirl - 1 - 2 - 3. That is how I remembered the choreography for the dancing class I took when I was fifteen. It should be noted that the aforementioned “Cock” is that of a gun — not a penis. I was a bit of an odd duckling, and I had decided that I wanted to take a dance class. In my defense, I did take the class with a female, and I never once wore a leotard. I...
Did you guys know that Nine Inch Nails released something super cool on the interwebs?! I’m super excited about SuperCoolThingOnTheInterwebs™! It will totally rock the music industry to their core. Totally. Like… For serious. They should just go home and cry themselves to sleep.
I’m not even sure what the SCTOTI™ is, but I already paypal’d them like… $700 just on...
Europop scares the shit out of me. That is all.

You bore me. Really, you do. I could just record myself saying “OH MY GOD APPLE WILL BRING DOWN CIVILIZATION,” and then loop it for a half hour. That would approximate your side of the conversation on any single episode of Buzz out Loud. Your formulaic rage makes my brain hurt.
Every easter growing up, my aunts, uncles, and cousins would meet my family at my Grandmother’s house so that we could eat breakfast, and hunt for eggs. We stopped doing that when the younger cousins got to be about twelve years old. In fact, we generally don’t do much besides have a nice dinner. This year, however, was one that will go down in the books.
I don’t have any...
I downloaded the latest beta of Firefox 3. I’m still in love with the full page zoom, but Webkit is implementing that too. I’m pretty sure I’m sticking with Safari.

Time to break out the Christmas music. I need to whip out the Jesus tunes a couple times a year to keep my Cheer-level up.
Motherfuck Peter Cottontail and his awful warbling about bunny trails.
I love the latest model of Apple Keyboards. Sometimes I find myself Cmd Tabing through my apps for no good reason. I just love the feel of pressing these keys.
OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! WHAT THE HOLY HELL? IT BURNS!
I am so tired of hearing the same analysis over and over. This Week in Media has been essentially the same conversation for the past 8 weeks. I am exhausted. Honestly.
I remember a point in time when I was stoked to listen to TWiM. I remember a time when I couldn’t wait to watch DL.TV. At this point, I’d rather watch an old...
I’ve been reading the archives of Dad Gone Mad for the past couple of weeks. I’m not really a “Kid person,” but he makes me chuckle quite a bit. Reading his site brings me joy, but it also makes me uncomfortable. I am in the transitional period between being a child, and being a full-fledged, honest-to-god adult. I’m technically an adult in the eyes of our good...

Let’s stop talking about Nine Inch Nails. I’m very tired of hearing about them.
The Force Unleashed better kick some serious ass. LucasArts better not let me down.

HE SAID WHAT?! Putting what on the who? We can’t just pound on our keyboards for a couple weeks, and then CC Steve Jobs our shit! Is this guy out of his mind?
Mmm… Spring Break. Not really all that relaxing, but I don’t have to be anywhere.

Once again: Robots are not good.
(Also, I refuse to use the stupid “Web Nickname” that some of the folks at Dvorak.org use. It’s terrible.)
I hate it when I can’t remember who came up with a specific idea. Was it me? Did I steal it from somebody? Is it two decades old or is it brand new? I don’t know, so I usually just let the idea die.
I have never laughed harder in my life. I started watching Arrested Development through Hooroo (aka Hulu.com), and I got hooked. I went out and bought the first season at Best Buy, and I’m working my way through the second disc. The writing in this show is some of the best I have ever experienced. It is actively ridiculous how funny I find it. While my take on Hooroo is still less than...

Happy Ides of March, guys!

I think the name “Israel” is top-notch.
My dad was in an accident today. He is fine. The car is seriously boned, though. I have many things to be thankful for, really. Anyway, he’s had that car for ten years. I still remember the day he brought it home. I kind of mocked him a little bit because of the choice of color, but in retrospect, it was a damn good purchase. It deserves a tribute here. It took me to-and-from classes for...
I’m pretending to be a full-fledged adult. I’ve been listening to my complimentary subscription to the Wall Street Journal’s Morning Read. The narrator is top-notch, but I either already know about the covered stories, or I don’t care about them.
We get it. You have a doctorate. Chill out.

I just stayed up three extra hours reading nine months of posts from Dad Gone Mad. I am a whore.
