Year 1 Episode 10 Recap
Episode 10 was almost exclusively focused on our experience with the Watchmen movie midnight premiere the previous night. There was brief discussion of other topics, but the main topic was Watchmen. We had planned on a short episode before heading out to see Watchmen again, but were so exhausted that we didn’t make it out. Given that, the show is a bit shorter than usual, because we had p...[Read More]
Watchmen Review (Brief)
This will be a fairly short and succinct review. A longer and more detailed review will be up later today or tomorrow courtesy of Lindsey. I have been a fan of Watchmen since the late 80s/early 90s (it came out in 1986/1987, but I didn’t catch it until a few years later). It was a brilliant graphic novel that was extremely well written (Alan Moore is widely recognized as fantastic). When...[Read More]
Watchmen Muzak
We’re sitting here in the theater with a little under two hours to go before the start of the movie. They’re playing music at a muted level for us while we wait. It’s dreadful. Seriously. It’s so bad that I felt the need to blog about how bad it was. That’s bad. -Because I said so
The Lugubrious Lumberjack
Herein lies the lament of the lumberjack. Before witnessing his woeful wailings, discern his dismal downfall: Skip a bit to about 3:45 for the tale of the lumberjack, or watch the lovely story about the pet parrot first (a very touching story about a man and his Norwegian Blue). youtube::gfIVMchKd_U:: I’ll give you a few moments to digest. … … … … All set? Lovely. ...[Read More]
Mouse
A few weeks ago I submitted a support ticket to my company’s IT department regarding my mouse. It was a standard optical mouse, and for the most part worked fine, except for the scroll wheel, which refused to scroll. I use the scroll wheel often, so this was a problem. I requested a replacement mouse, and was provided with one shortly thereafter. However, it seems to me that my fortunes ...[Read More]
Frustration
I’ve had all I can stand, and I can’t stands no more! How much can a man take before he finally accepts the sweet, warm embrace of madness? What is a man’s breaking point? Where is the line drawn? How many straws until the last one? How many weights must be thrust upon a man’s shoulders before he is heavy enough to break a camel’s back? What is the airspeed velo...[Read More]
Mario Kart Wii
If anyone has ever played any iteration of the Mario Kart series, then you know that the CPU controlled competitors start getting extremely cheap near the end of races. Mario Kart Wii is no different than previous releases in the series. It introduces motorbikes as vehicles, with the 50cc races being confined to karts, 100cc confined to motorbikes, and 150cc offering a choice. While I experience...[Read More]
Introducing our new “Inquiries Presented More Often Than Not” page!
Oftentimes, people will have inquiries that are more common than not. These inquiries, more often than not, will be presented to a person of supposed authority on the subject at hand, with the assumption that they will be able to provide an answer to the inquiry. We have received one such inquiry. Sort of. To be proactive, an “Inquiries Presented More Often Than Not” page (or IPMOTN, ...[Read More]
Donnie the Dog
We brought our dog Donnie over to the apartment last night. We paid our pet deposit, picked up a lot of crap for the apartment, and brought him home. He has to sleep in an enclosure, because otherwise he’d piss and crap all over the apartment (bye bye, $450), because he is a crap factory. He isn’t particularly happy about that part quite yet, but he’ll get used to it. It̵...[Read More]
The Dark Kung Fu Knight Panda
So Lindsey sends me an IM today mentioning that Target is having a sale on DVDs. She mentions Wall-E, then The Dark Knight and Kung Fu Panda. For various reasons, we do not yet own The Dark Knight or Kung Fu Panda, which, for me, is very strange. I have a very large collection of DVDs, and I generally buy new releases that I want as soon as they hit the shelves. Unfortunately, money has been s...[Read More]
Wii Week Wrap-up
Well, we started the week without really meaning to talk about the Wii every day, but it happened, so we decided to call it our Wii Week. It was an interesting week filled with highs and lows. On the one hand, we paid off a few house expansions in Animal Crossing, and I fucking RULE at Mario Kart, but on the other hand, Francine is a dirty bitch who robbed me blind. I really fucking hate Francin...[Read More]
