Dance Like the Internet is Watching
Where the Hell is Matt? has apparently been making the rounds on the internets for a while now. It’s a guy traveling around the world and dancing like an idiot. And it’s surprisingly cool.

R.I.P. Hank and Dean
The rest of this post is a spoiler for the season 2 premier of The Venture Brothers:

Thirty-Five
My birthday was today, and I got exactly what I asked for two weeks ago: a birthday card from and signed by my daddy. He wrote my name on the front and my age and year on the inside. And it looks like his normal handwriting (which, he’d have to admit, was kind of scratchy…

Cursed
Somehow I’ve pissed off the travel gods. Today they decided to delay my connecting flight back to Atlanta for two hours before cancelling it. So I’m stranded in Dulles, Virginia. I could put a bit in here about how Dulles airport is the most hateful place on the planet Earth, and how the mouthbreathing pederasts…

I Have Opinions About Things
One of the advantages to spending so much time in waiting rooms and on planes (all right, the only advantage) is that it gives me a chance to get caught up on my readin’ and watchin’. And now, bloggin’. Nacho Libre I’m baffled as to why this one is getting walloped in the reviews. It’s…

Go Team Venture!
“The Venture Brothers” is definitely the best show on [adult swim], and if it weren’t for “Lost,” it’d be the best show on TV right now. I got the Season One DVDs when I was down in Georgia, and I’ve finally gotten around to watching the extra features. The extra features aren’t enough to buy…

One week
Thanks to everybody who sent e-mails with sympathy and offers to help; it was appreciated. My daddy’s condition is improving very slowly, but he and the rest of the family are going to be pretty miserable until he gets out of the hospital. As for me, I’m 3000 miles away, unable to do anything except…

Georgia
Just in case anyone’s trying to get a hold of me or wondering why I’m not responding to e-mails: I’m in Georgia for a family emergency. No sign at the moment how long I’m going to stay down here. Until I get back, I’m going to have spotty internet access and even less frequent periods…

I’m the Juggernaut, bitch!
This week’s summer blockbuster movie was X-Men 3: The Last Stand. I’ll give it this much: it could have been worse. Much worse. Actually, as far as summer action movies based on comic books go, it wasn’t all that bad. If I were the grading type, I’d give it a solid B. The problem, of…
