Another year closer to cheap car insurance rates...
At around 3:30 PM on November 18th, 1981, I was born. That was 23 years ago today. Another birthday has come and nearly gone, and once again, I am almost totally indifferent to the whole thing. I...
What ultimately should have been another lazy, lackadaisical Sunday instead became a day of constant nonsense. What should have been a day of sweatpants, football and fast food tacos instead...
Whether you love or hate Trey Parker and Matt Stone, you have to give them credit for doing things and creating projects that just aren't what's expected. In South Park: Bigger, Longer, and...
Random song you should be listening to right now: The Rolling Stones - "Dead Flowers." Failing that, the Townes Van Zandt version, which is nearly as good. I had never intended to go this long...
Let's just get the ball rolling, shall we? Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - Best movie I've seen thus far this year. Another truly original and quirky/hysterical script from Charlie...
Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow is a film built entirely on a single premise--retro science fiction is way cool. In a sense, this film conveys this belief very well. Its cinematic style,...
As promised, the [url=http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/action/badboys2/review.html]Bad Boys: Miami Takedown[/url] review went up today, and as I'd hinted, boy oh boy does it suck. It's distinctly...
As some of you may or may not already know, one of my previous professions prior to coming to GameSpot was as a Quality Assurance tester. In fact, that was the last job I had before I came to...
There are two things I know to be true. There is no difference between good flan and bad flan, and there is no war in Albania. Wait...crap. That's not it. Let me start over. There are two...
Serpico - Never seen it before. Figured I should just take the plunge, since I never rent movies. The 25th Hour - Also never seen it, but I'll see anything with Edward Norton. That policy...
Fantasy football is one of those weird vices of mine that I can't quite explain. I don't know why I enjoy it. I don't play for money. I get nothing particularly special out of it. And, yet, I get...
Second-hand information is always an interesting dilemma. It's one thing when you get the bad/good news from the person directly involved in said news. You can react accordingly, show them utter...
Eek . Do forgive the title of this one. Apparently, my emo is showing. I'm about the last person to purposely avoid jumping on bandwagons, so allow me to jump aboard the Burnout 3...
Well, I finally did it. I finally finished sorting through all of my albums and set up my entire [url=http://www.mp3.com/users/AlexN/collection.php]music collection[/url] on MP3.com. Yes, you read...
The great thing about a three-day weekend is that you can sleep in on Sunday without that feeling of horrible dread that comes with knowing you won't be able to get to sleep until some ungodly...
Nothing like an outdoor wedding in the midst of several large grass fires in and around the county to make for an interesting day. My sister got married today. She's actually my step-sister, but...
For some reason, I forgot any of this even happened when I was typing up that last entry. Anyhow, here goes... As some of you may already be aware (thanks to one of Ryan Mac Donald's episodes of...
Rather than go the traditional, or "square" route, I've decided to forgo the typical "THIS IS MY JOURNAL" image header in favor of completely random images from my hard drive, photoshopped for...
I say EAT UMMMMMMM. I'm posting with the newest build of FireFox right this second, and encountering no problems. I still don't understand the appeal of this browser. It's OK and everything, but...
I don't have a ton to say at this point, but hey, the point of a journal is to jot down mindless ramblings, and since we did just debut these, I figured I might as well spout some...
