  • Save the Cheerleader. Save the World. Part 3

    Spoilers below! Last night’s Heroes held its own. Niki is seemingly more and more evil while her son is showing superpowers of his own. It would seem that he’s able to modify electronic devices and/or computers by the touch of his hand. And I know I’m getting ahead of myself with this next one, but…

  • Hipster Girl Gets Blasted

    Tobyjoe and I watched the NYC ING Marathon yesterday. Unfortunately, due to busted IT band, I had to postpone my entry until next year. I did, however, wander up Bedford Avenue in order to cheer the runners on. The event brought tears to my eyes. I was really moved. But someting weird took place. We…

  • Chewbacca and Me.

    It’s nights like tonight I remember why I love living in New York City. Where else might one find something like this on their way home from the office? Dave summed it up, “New York City is really good for this sort of thing, this sort of random thing.” (There are a few more here.)

  • On Fishing and Greed

    This story depresses the hell out of me. This is the type of truth that keeps me up a night. Most of the time, people tend to ignore things like this since most threats are hundreds of years off, and will take place after this generation (and the next) is gone. But this collapse could…

  • Old Bones.

    We sat together on a crowded bus. His hair was slicked back, beat into submission by pomade. I imagined his pillowcase at home; sunk deep in a washer, water running off it like ice from a tin roof. He smelled of last night’s booze. The bus stopped and he swayed forward, his movement graceful, like…

  • Bush on the "Democrat Approach"

    Did you hear what our fearless leader said about the “Democrat Approach” in Iraq? Click to hear it. Come on, now. Even some of you Republican folks have to admit it’s a preposterous thing to say. I challenge anyone out there to name one democrate who feels that way. Has it really sunk to this?…

  • Save the Cheerleader. Save the World. Part 2

    A few (more) things about Heroes: 1). I had a thought tonight that the Niki Sanders might actually be Sylar. Either way, she appears to be a mixture of both good and evil. If that’s the case, I’m wondering which side will win. And I can’t help but wonder what her role in all of…

  • My Date Kicking the Crap Out of the Douchebag Who Made This Dumb Film.

    I watched My Date with Drew on Friday night. I’m just going to cut to the chase: This film is awful. It’s so bad; I’m kind of shocked it got the attention that it did. And it goes to show that Americans will watch pretty much anything. Hell, I hated it from the very beginning…

  • The Atheist: A Second-Class Citizen?

    What if God, the being created by man during the Bronze Age, didn’t exist? What if God, just like the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy, was a made up entity? What if Man created the concept of a God? Can you imagine your world and how different it might be if there was no…

  • Cry Over Expired Milk.

    Tobyjoe and I use an RSS feed for my comments. I get a lot of retro comments. Usually they’re pure gibberish. Sometimes they are informative and I write the person back. Sometimes they are really hateful. (Recently I had someone threaten to kill me.) A lot of the time I delete them immediately. There’s one…
