Razzle Frickin’ Dazzle
I can’t describe how much I liked this week’s episode of “Lost.” No exaggeration, it’s one of my favorite episodes of the entire series, and maybe even one of my favorite episodes of any television series. It’s like Darin Morgan “X-Files” good. The reason I thought of Morgan is because “Exposé” does the same for…

Cat on my stuff
It’s tough being a dog person and living in the city. Even if I had an apartment that allowed dogs, it just doesn’t seem right to me having one without a big back yard — not just for the dog’s benefit, but so I can just let him run around without my intervention if I’m…

See more of the internets!
The internets are way way too big for only six links. I waste enjoy at least four hours a day looking at stuff on the computers, I’ve got a lot more stuff to recommend. Making Light: I got in trouble a while ago for calling this site a hotbed of liberal propaganda. When the country…

Too much confusion
The season 3 finale of “Battlestar Galactica” aired tonight. According to the SciFi channel, season 4 doesn’t start until 2008. Word on the street is that there’ll be a two-hour movie “bridging” the season, not continuing from the finale, but introducing things that’ll be resolved in season 4. In my whole history of watching things,…

I can’t use these things together
One of the life lessons that I keep learning, and keep ignoring, is that you should always keep your career separate from your hobbies. In retrospect, I could’ve saved a lot of time and effort if I’d just bought the sequels to Monkey Island and SimCity instead of flying all the way out here to…

Winding Down
TVSquad forwarded along a New York Post story, which is pretty much completely unsubstantiated speculation quoting from an anonymous “tipster,” that the producers of “Battlestar Galactica” want to end the series after the fourth (next) season. This is similar to the claims the “Lost” guys have made that they’ve got an ending in sight and…

See the internets!
Thanks to the Sam & Max games, Google searches by friends from back East, and the fact that for the first time in recent memory I have friendly neighbors, a lot of new people are discovering this website. I feel obligated to point out that there are a lot more interesting places on the interwebs…

Wii Would Like to Play
And via Kotaku, my other favorite video of the week.

Better sushi, better TV
From Entertainment Weekly’s blog, here’s more proof that the Japanese culture is infinitely superior to our own. Pan the Chimpanzee can do twice as many sit-ups as I can.

Watashi wa nihongo ga mada heta desu
“Watashi wa nihongo ga mada heta desu” means “I’m still bad at Japanese.” And although that’s a demonstrably true statement, the correct response is supposedly 「いいえ、そんなことは ありませんよ」, “No, that’s not true!” I’ve been taking classes for the past ten weeks at a local school, and last night was the nerve-wracking final. It’s actually a pretty…

I’ve been negligent in my “Battlestar Galactica”-watching duties for the past month, so I spent the last couple of days getting caught up on the last four episodes. I’ve got to be vague, here, since there may yet be brothers of man, out there, among the blogosphere, who are waiting for the DVD release to…

Grindhouse
Before The Host, they ran a promo for Grindhouse. It’s easily the best movie trailer I’ve seen in decades: I’ve never been this excited to see a movie that I’m probably going to miss half of because my I’ll have to keep my eyes closed. It’s easy to get taken in by cool trailer, dull…
