Me gusta la semana del tema
The week of porn spam post titles was such an unprecedented success, I think I’ll keep up the theme weeks forever or until I get tired of it. This week is Stuff I Like Week. Or, if like me, you’ve taken one quarter of Spanish 101: La Semana de las cosas que me gusta. Believe…

Manos, brazos, pies, y piernas
I went to Disneyland over the weekend, and it was fun. There’s not a ton of new stuff going on at the park, and we’ve gotten pretty ritualistic with our trips — get up ass-early, drive down, eat at the Apricot Tree, check in at the hotel, sleep, get up and drink, get up ass-early,…

Forbidden Desire
Man, I want to get a 24″ iMac so bad I can taste it. The problem is I don’t, strictly speaking, need one. I’m a master at convincing myself to blow too much money on excess stuff, and my skill only increases when Apple’s involved. But I’m hitting a brick wall here. At the moment,…

It’s something that’s bugged me ever since I moved out here and started working in videogames. The problem is the weird dollar-to-hour value ratio people use when talking about games. You’ll frequently see…

One hot French slut’s illicit obsession
I rented With a Friend Like Harry… (the other translation, Harry, He’s Here to Help is actually a better title) because I thought Sergi Lopez was a bad-ass in Pan’s Labyrinth, and I wanted to see what he could do as the bad guy in a flat-out horror/suspense thriller. Also, I just wanted to see…

Deep penetration
I got a pleasant surprise when I logged in to delete today’s bunch of comment spam. There was a new incoming link to this blog! It’s cool for two reasons: first, because I just got finished writing about my shallow epiphany about the wonders of the internets and hyperlinking and the glorious potential of sharing,…
