I have been on a documentary kick, of late. It began with me revisiting an old favorite, Brother's Keeper. I've since gone through Capturing the Friedmans, A Certain Kind of Death, and Bukowski: Born into This. All of these are worth the watch, if you want my opinion.

The other day (Wednesday, actually,) I watched a very well-done documentary ( Read more... )

If you like the Grand Theft Auto series, you should play Saints row 2. If you do not like the Grand Theft Auto series, you should play Saints Row 2. If you've never played any kind of video game other than point-and-click adventure games, then guess what? -You should play Saints Row 2.

Last night I watched Thin for the first time. Well, it should be noted that Josh watched it with me even though it made him super-uncomfortable, because he's amazing and he knew it would be easier for me if I didn't watch it alone.

I watched 'Dawn of the Dead' last night. Very nice waste of a couple'a hours, if you ask me. The bit with the baby made me twitch a bit, but I got over it. Still have to find 'Shaun of the Dead' and '28 Days Later.'
Braaaaaiiiiins...

Alex-cat has her yearly check-up this morning. Wish me luck.

No. This does not exist in my world. Any further mention of it will be ignored.

Seriously, I give up on Hollywood. For every Children of Men and The Departed there are two hundred embellished elephant turds. Well guess what? An embellished elephant turd is STILL A PILE OF SHIT.
God.

Packing sucks. How the HELL did we acquire so much shit?! ( Read more... )

Holy shit. Seriously.
