Back again with another movie invitation...Let me know if you'd like to go see Grindhouse at the Regal Culver Ridge at 1.05 Saturday afternoon. Nothing better than a pulpy bloody double feature on a weekend to make you happy...

Comment if you're down.

Forgive me for I have sinned, it's been over a year since my last confession.

Calling all freaks, I'm looking for a crew to go to the Horror Movie Fest the weekend before Thanksgiving at the Regal. 8 Movies, 3 days, and the majority of them look pretty sick.

Leave me a comment if you want to go. Not sure what the cost for tickets is going to be, but when we roll in there, we should roll deep. It looks like a pretty cool way to waste a weekend.

So, it's been forever since my last real bit of content. Here are a few things that have kind of been annoying me lately.

Take the quiz: "What 80's Metal Band are you? (with pics)"

Slayer
You are Slayer. You love death, destruction and blood. Speed metal and screaming. Sweat and metal.

the Cutting Edge (56% dark, 52% spontaneous, 27% vulgar)

your humor style: CLEAN | SPONTANEOUS | DARK Your humor's mostly innocent and off-the-cuff, but somehow there's something slightly menacing about you. Part of your humor is making people a little uncomfortable, even if the things you say aren't in and of themselves confrontational. You probably have a very dry delivery, or are seriously over-the-top. Your type is the most likely to appreciate a good insult and/or broken bone and/or very very fat person dancing. PEOPLE LIKE YOU: David Letterman - John Belushi

My test tracked 3 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 56% on dark You scored higher than 81% on spontaneous You scored higher than 43% on vulgar

"Dr Cox..."
"If the next two words out of your mouth are not 'See ya' then the third is going to be 'Oh my god my crotch, my crotch, you've punched me in my crotch.'"
"See ya."

Genius.

I've been listening to all kinds of really "indie" music lately.

I think it stems from having a speaker at my desk at work now...I've listened to Bright Eyes, The Decemberists, Bloc Party and Kaiser Chiefs so far today...I feel like a bit of a twat.

Am I turning into the kid that only listens to silly little twee hipster doofus stuff???

Crisis of faith. But then again, I'm enjoying it. So should I worry about it? Or just let it go and have fun?

Wow. A 0.4 out of 10. I guess they got the same copy of the record Kara and I did.

The introductory paragraphs say it all...

"If you're one of those poor souls who while away the day job by keeping a scorecard of music review sites, there's one thing you already know: There are two distinct groups of bad albums. The more prevalent kind is the fodder that fills a critic's mailbox, bands with awkward names and laser-printed cover art that don't inspire ire so much as pity. The second group is more treacherous: Bands that yield high expectations due to past achievements, yet, for one reason or another, wipe out like "The Wide World of Sports"' agony-of-defeat skier.

Often, these albums are bombarded with website tomatoes for reasons you can't necessarily hear through speakers: the band changes their sound and image to court a new crossover audience, perhaps, or attempts a mid-career shift into ill-advised territory. Or maybe they start writing songs about Moses in hip-hop slang. But sometimes the bad album in question is none of the above; it doesn't offend anyone's delicate scene-politics sensibilities or try to rewrite a once-successful formula in unfortunate ways. Sometimes an album is just awful. Make Believe is one of those albums."

Later on , he even starts to question why he ever liked Weezer to begin with.

"Hearing a song like "We Are All on Drugs", which nicks the classic melody of the schoolyard "Diarrhea" song (you know, "when you're sliding into first..." and so on) for an anti-drug message stiffer than Nancy Reagan's "Diff'rent Strokes" cameo, it calls into question whether The Blue Album was really that great, or whether it just stood out as a rare beacon of guitar pop in a grunge-obsessed era."

Glad to see we're not crazy, and someone else is just as repulsed by Make Believe as we are.

mmmm...wireless controller, headset...and webcam??? ok, pass on the webcam, but the rest is very nice.

Like a bad joke somebody's uncle told at a wedding reception in 1972...


I tweaked my back this morning grabbing a can of soda in the garage. I think it was weakened by moving the grill, and when I reached out to grab the can, it kinda shocked me a bit.

So now I'm on a good bit of Ibuprofen, and hoping to get through this quick today so I can get home.
