Jericho
I love Netflix. More specifically, I love Netflix instant-queue, which is especially handy for watching TV series.
My latest venture into a TV series is Jericho. The series was short-lived, only lasting to the 7th episode of Season 2. At first, you might wonder why the series lasted that long, because the first half of Season 1 is not without ( Read more... ) -
TVTropes
So, I was reading a completely unrelated forum when some poster makes a point by referencing a term on TVTropes. Not completely understanding "killed on a bus" in context, I went to tvtropes.com and searched for it. That's when I lost the last hour of my life to TVTropes ( Read more... ) -
Fox News Spooge
I pulled up my iGoogle, which I have set to show various random news feeds. In it, I found the following article from Fox News. I have to say, this is some extremely right-wing biased shit.

Vegetarians vs Factory Farming: Economics & Ecology 101
I've said this before, but it obviously needs to be repeated. I keep hearing the same argument from people, who aren't understanding how the world of capitalism and environmentalism works. This short article is designed to put things in perspective for you passive-activists out there ( Read more... ) -
Today's Fortune
I got up earlier than usual today, took stock of my kitchen, and decided to go to the supermarket. I wrote down a list of stuff, because money is tight and I needed to stay focused. A lot of good that did ( Read more... ) -
An Interesting Article & My Fascination With Game Development
The Sims 3: Rod Humble - Part One
Rod Humble assumed control of the Sims division at Electronic Arts after Will Wright (who originally headed the design of the first Sims game) left to work on Spore. Recently, Will Wright left EA altogether, which resulted in much applause from fans of his games, because EA is a money-grubbing Machiavellian ( Read more... ) -
A New Chapter For Sims
I just read that The Sims 3 went gold yesterday, meaning that they've ceased development and are busy mass producing the media for release. They were about to go gold back in late January when EA announced they were delaying release until June 2nd. I wasn't sure if they'd do it again, but once they go gold, there are no more delays.
I'm hoping The ( Read more... ) -
The New Star Trek
I ventured out to see the new Star Trek movie tonight. There was something wrong with the sound system in the theater, which annoyed me all through the film (missing range and volume drops), but it still wasn't enough to sway my opinion. The new Trek was awesome!
After recently watching the Heroes series (through season 3), I knew Zachary Quinto ( Read more... ) -
X-Men Origins: Wolverine
The latest film, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, far surpassed my expectations. I was expecting crap after X-Men: The Last Stand (3), which was a horrible let down. On the contrary, the new one was chock full of amusing banter and solid character development. Of course, having Ryan Reynolds in the film was a surprising delight, even if his time on ( Read more... )
