Went to karaoke last weekend with a bunch of friends, and had one of the best times I've had in a very long time. I sang "She Blinded Me With Science", "(I Just) Died In Your Arms", and "Christmas At Ground Zero". But for me, the highlight of the evening-- nay, of my entire karaoke existence-- was rocking out on Yes' "Roundabout" with bearknight. 8 1/2 ( Read more... )

Anyone who's watched Late Night since Jimmy Fallon took over may have noticed that at times, the show appears to be an hour-long commercial for Microsoft. I've only watched it a few times, and every single one of those times, they've been featuring Microsoft products and technology on the show very prominently ( Read more... )

Will someone please tell me, how many shows about logging do we really need? There's already been "Ax Men", "Exteme Logging" and "Heli-Loggers", and now Discovery Channel is running ads for a new one called "American Loggers". Spoiler: They're the same fucking show.Coming soon ( Read more... )

Two of my biggest obsessions are joining forces Sunday night: The Simpsons, and crossword puzzles.

Being the huge crossword puzzle geek that I am, and having reached a point where I'm ruined for pretty much any other crossword but the New York Times Sunday puzzle, I was thrilled when I found out that tonight's Simpsons episode sees Lisa entering a ( Read more... )

I had to DVR tonight's episode of "Fringe", and I'm watching it right now. Most of the show takes place in the Boston area, and part of tonight's episode took place in Saugus, the town in which I live. They even named a specific street, Broad Street, which actually exists-- in fact, it's the same street on which Kane's Donuts, which I wrote about a ( Read more... )

I was (and still am) such a huge fan of "The X-Files". In fact, long before finding the pack that I run with now, the first online community I ever became a part of was an X-Files fan group. Some of the friendships I made there continue to this day, over a decade later ( Read more... )

Just a few things I vaguely felt like writing about lol...

#1: It only took 20 years, but for the first time, a song I recorded has made it onto an officially-released CD... one that you can actually buy (but probably won't lol). The CD is called "Auto-Pseudo-Mondo", and it contains 18 recordings of the same song-- each one recorded by a ( Read more... )

My dad's birthday (his 63rd) was last weekend. On his actual birthday I was down at bearknight and kgraleopard's for a FurFright staff meeting, so we had to put off getting together to celebrate until later in the week ( Read more... )

Wednesday morning I woke up remembering a strange dream I'd been having. I was in a car with two (unidentified) friends. The three of us were part of a band, and were trying to come up with an idea for a new song. One of us thought we should try to do something that sounded like the Cure. We'd come up with a few lyrics, and I distinctly remembered ( Read more... )
