Sorry to issue the high alert. Please rest assured that my Eggo is safe. The danger is only figurative.
For now.
But we still have to talk about some things.
First the Fat Boys break up; now every day I wake up, somebody takes something away. My childhood memories are under attack. Maybe yours, too.
There [...]

I would like to be scared.
I probably shouldn’t have said that.  It implies that I, a dude, can get scared, when we all know that real dudes don’t get scared unless there’s a threat of a testicular nature.  I am a Real Man of Genius1 and I should carry myself accordingly at all times.
However, I [...]

(Warning: this post is not actually about Facebook.)

You could rank the anticipation of it somewhere between the second-coming and The Return of Jafar.
That’s right.  The movie.
I’m sure you’ve heard about it by now.  I’m sure you have at least a dozen reasons why this movie should not be made.  I have a baker’s dozen.  But [...]

You were supposed to be my One.  We gotta get back to the start.
I remember how it all began: me with a computer, but no TV in my bedroom, and you with a seemingly endless array of movie and TV titles on DVD.
You had my heart, Netflix.
Somewhere along the line, though, I became content being [...]

Throw your hands in the air!
*crowd thrusts hands*
And wave ‘em around like you’re screaming for your life!
*crowd drops hands, wonders wtf is going on*
Cuz it’s Shark Week, mofos!
*crowd catches on, recommences hand-waving*

That’s right: Shark Week.  It’s the week when the Discovery Channel strives to convince us that sharks are just misunderstood, intelligent killing machines [...]

Bored out of my mind, I sat down Sunday afternoon to find a marathon on TV.  Actually, a TV marathon is the only marathon I’ve ever completed.  It takes a special kind of fitness.  It’s the only kind of marathon that is easier to finish the less you train.  My regiment is food-based: 30 minutes [...]

I usually can’t stand when people start a sentence with “I don’t do” and end it with an inanimate object or concept, like “showers,” or “mornings.”  Nonetheless…
I don’t do open water.
So it should it go without saying that I’ve never seen the movie by that name:

Yet for reasons unknown, I’m fascinated [...]

it’s gone. (it’s gone.)
oh, i. (oh, i.)
i better learn how to face it.

What went wrong is that HBO has cut Screen on the Green.
*attempts to still his broken heart*
Who am I kidding?  I’d need a ShamWow to dry my tears.
The Screen on the Green series was one of my reasons for being here, in [...]

Based on the box office numbers, one out of every 4 beings in the universe saw J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek this weekend.  We were two of those.
Four things stood out:
1. crystal-clear character distinction and development
2. special effects
3. the failure-of-conception (aka “accidental womb dropping”) in front of us who stood and screamed for [...]

Why, hello there.  Good Monday morning, to ya.
Today is a day of firsts.  It is the first time (since almost a year ago) I walked out of my house at 8 am and it was approximately 70 degrees.  Also, I’m guest-blogging for the first time in ever.  Yep I am.
So, you should go here.  Do [...]
