Hey, new blog!

Unfortunately, I don't have much to say.

Hey, how's everybody doing?

The Worst Movie I Ever Saw: Hamlet 2

As I sat in the Cinemark 18 in Evanston, IL this afternoon, the sole patron who'd purchased a ticket for "Hamlet 2," I kept anticipating the moment that the film reel in the projection booth would break. I do not often wish this, both because I am a fan of film in general and because I understand...

Oscar Picks: Or, Crown Your Phil Collins Cover!


So before I get to my Oscar picks, I have a confession to make. And this is not something I would typically tell somebody, but I figure I can share this with you fine folk and not be judged.

Yesterday at work, I was listening to the radio, as I'm wont to do, and the wacky DJ...

Goddamn. I haven't written a blog in like a month. I need to get better at that. This is my Christmas blog. Or, for all my Muslim friends, my Ramadan blog.

So Christmas was kinda neat-o, in a manner of speaking. I'd take you through it day-by-day, but it's not overly exciting, so here are some of the highlights:

- Apparently, all the drugs I...

Does anybody know where I can buy a coffin?

I'm not suicidal or anything. It's just that I watched "St. Elmo's Fire" tonight, and I'm thinking that it would be cool to have a coffin in my apartment.

Heyo. I uploaded some pictures. Hooray for me, and things of that nature.

If you're wondering why I have a bad moustache in one of them, it's because I was Mike Ditka for Halloween last year.

If you're wondering why I'm wearing a t-shirt that says "Listen Up SlapNuts" in one of them, it's because I was Jeff Jarrett for Halloween in 2000.

And if...

Halloween CD

Okay, so I'm trying to make a CD for Halloween comprised of horror movie themes and things of that nature. This should be cool, it gives me something to listen to on the bus to work, and it might be sort of fun to see if any heads turn when the screeching of violins indicating Marion Crane's murder get any looks when it...

I have the greatest sister in the world

I just found out today that I don't have to move this weekend... I was going to go from my one bedroom to a studio in the same building, but I don't think I'm going to have to, because my sister offered to help me with the rent until I can pull in a little extra cash...

The Joys of Having A Good Credit Rating


For a while, I was getting really sick of four or five credit card offers in the mail every day. I mean, I enjoy getting the mail -- there's a sense of wonder and excitement around it. Did anybody write me? Will I receive something unexpected? Maybe even just another $1-off coupon from that really kickass pizza...

If You Say My Name Five Times In A Mirror, I'll Buy You A Shot Of Wild Turkey


So, at 6:00 p.m., I finally decided that it was time to get out of my apartment. I didn't have any clean clothes, so I decided to go to the Market Place to buy something for dinner.

No, there's no logical connection there, so if you're thinking...

Hey! It's my first SG blog!

I'd be pretty much every first blog begins with some variation on the phrase, "This is my first blog." Yet, only a select few of us are willing to see that. And even fewer of us acknowledge the irony in starting our own blog with this lame-ass opener, and then pointing out how lame-ass it is.

So... um... how's...
