Paranormal Activity… I guess?
I just got back from seeing Paranormal Activity with Jon and, honestly, I’m disappointed. There was all this hype about the movie, like it’s the scariest thing in years, it’s like a Hitchcock film, it’s an intelligent horror movie, etc. It wasn’t bad, and I appreciated that Micah and Katie seemed like normal [...]
news flash: music on the radio sucks
This may be a sign of my impending fogeyness, but several popular songs right now annoy me greatly. Mind, this is so often the case with rap music that I don’t even include it in “music on the radio that I might enjoy” (see A Short History of African American Music—thank you, Lil Wayne [...]

While driving back from Taco Bell the other day (tangent: we both wanted Thai food but the particular Thai restaurant at which I wanted to eat was closed for the next week, so we ended up going to the obvious alternative of Taco Bell–mm, gorditas), Jon and I got into a discussion about which [...]
Harry Potter and the Boring Prince
I went to see Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince last night with Jon and Mark, and it was surprisingly painful. The movie was okay, though definitely one of the dullest HP movies I’ve sat through, but the real kicker was the company around us. The theater was packed, of course, and while [...]
holy crap, McConnell did something I like!
I don’t often hear about my state’s senators, and when I do, I don’t often agree with them because they’re staunch conservatives and I’m pretty liberal. However, when scanning Google News this morning, I found the New York Times article “Auto Bailout Bill Appears Stalled in the Senate.” The article has completely changed [...]
arguing against the auto bailout
Not that it’ll do much good, but I just left messages at the local offices for Kentucky’s Senators Jim Bunning and Mitch McConnell, and also Representative Ben Chandler, urging them to vote against or argue against the proposed $15 billion auto bailout. It’s so damn depressing to me that our government feels it’s their [...]
government bail-outs
I’m divided on how I feel about the recent Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae bail-outs by the government.
While I don’t like our government saving private corporations (if they go bottom up, that just shows their bad business sense, and we should let the market sort it out–kind of like Darwinism with corporations), I understand [...]
Obama v. McCain pros and cons
Based on the summary in this Newsday article*, here are the pros and cons as I see them to Obama and McCain:
McCain
Pros
Cons
“Would declare a summer gas tax holiday, suspending the 18.4 cent federal gas tax from Memorial Day to Labor Day.” Sounds useful to me, but it also sounds like a symptom treatment rather [...]
overrated vampires
*snort* This just made me laugh aloud:
Why do mortal women always have to fall in love with sexy, brooding vampires? Why can’t they fall for a nice yeti who will make a good husband and a solid provider?
