Did you watch the Oscars? I did…one of the lamest shows ever.
Chris Rock….well, it was more funny what he was joking about than the actual jokes. I thought the Jude Law comment was stupid. But Sean Penn’s humourless correction was even more stupid. Everyone should just yell “Spiccoli” everytime he opens [...]

The Vindication of Bush?
February 28th, 2005 No Comments
I’m not in favor of Bush’s politically-correct (or perhaps genuine) attempt to spread democracy in the Middle East. Democracy is too complicated and we can’t afford to build up every failed state.
However, Andrew Sullivan (who is in favor of it) is right when he says that Bush has been the catalyst for all the [...]

Low Cost Cruise Ship
February 28th, 2005 No Comments
What do you think of this? It’s a budget cruise ship for people in their 20’s, 30’s and 40’s. I’m trying to figure out what we are going to do on our European vacation in August/September and this is an option.
It’s called easycruise. You’ve heard of the low-cost european carrier easyjet, and [...]

Jacko’s Trial
February 27th, 2005 No Comments
We don’t get much news about the Jackson trial here and I don’t spend time on the internet really looking for it…but I’m wondering what’s going on. It sounds like Jackson’s lawyers are going to be able to plant doubt in the credibility of the mother of the child at least.
However, I recently read [...]

The Killers are going to be in Portland, OR soon. And Japan…but I’m not going there.

It says a lot about Bono that he is seriously being recommended to head up the World Bank.

Greg says I should blog more, so here you are. Plus, you guys have been so boring lately.
This is a perfect example of what’s wrong with our public schools.

Episode III, the photo-novel
February 23rd, 2005 No Comments
I would never, ever post a link to a site that uses dozens of leaked photos and mini-movies to spoil essentially the entire plot of “Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.”
Nope. Wouldn’t do that at all.
Who’s got the discipline?

Spike Lee may have mental problems

That’s a thought that I pondered while viewing his latest DVD release, She Hate Me. What else can explain that movie’s bizarre plot?
Curious? My DVD review will be online Monday at The DVD Journal.
Here’s a sneak:
Like the movie’s animated armies of sperm (yes, you read that correctly), She Hate Me sprays in too many directions, [...]

They Might Be Satan
February 19th, 2005 No Comments
Remember when I blogged last about They Might Be Giant’s excellent kid’s video “Here Come the ABC’s?”
Let me amend that: their video is so good, it’s literally maddening. Amy and I cannot get several of the songs out of our heads, which is becoming disturbing. And our 15-month-old daughter is accelerating her tantrum development as [...]

The Killers
February 16th, 2005 No Comments
Interesting band called “the Killers”. I think the lead singer is really stuck up. They have a kind of 80’s/indie vibe going on. Really interesting. Mr. Brightside and Somebody Told Me are really good songs.

Amy and I have been agonizing recently over the dull and repetitive nature of today’s Sesame Street, compared to how we remember it from when we were kids: lively, funky and fun.
Aside from daily repeats of what seems like the same 4 episodes Sesame Street, Maggie has a few videos that she enjoys watching over [...]

Kudos to Alan Dershowitz for taking it right to Columbia University’s faculty for their (very non pc) tolerance of anti-semitism. That’s Edward Said’s old home and it has been greatly influenced by his idiotic ideas. Dershowitz is a strong man for going into that Lion’s den (no pun intended….Columbia’s mascot is the Lion) [...]

London Exodus
February 10th, 2005 No Comments
I know…it’s disgusting. We get a free trip to Europe in August. We’ve been asked to lead a workshop at a conference in Holland. So we’re going to tack on at least a week’s vacation time and go somewhere else in Europe–Britain, Sweden, Germany, Hungry, or Austria.
Well, in the future there will [...]

Six Degrees of Rock ‘n’Roll
February 8th, 2005 No Comments
This web site allows you to trace the connections between any two of almost 1300 bands. For example, it takes 12 steps to connect Gwar with Electric Light Orchestra, or 15 to arrive at The Beatles starting from, ahem, Anal Cunt.
And, no, The Bacon Brothers are not an option. Yet.

Looks like Corey Feldman is getting ready to rat out Michael Jackson. Cool. Finally, he redeems himself for his career. Now it’s time for Macauli Culken to step up to the plate, and Emmanuel Lewis. (How sick was that whole “webster” era in the early 80’s with Jackson?).

I would. Ronaldo is old and fat now, anyway. The future (or, rather, the present) lies [...]

I guess Ronaldo’s team wouldn’t release him. But Ronaldhino is the better [...]

There’s a British show on TV here called “The Kumars at number 42.” It’s a talk show in which an Indian family living in London interview British celebrities in their home. It’s kind of over-the-top comedy with every member in the family playing an Indian stereotype. Anyway, the guest last week was [...]
