I know you’re all gonna miss me, but Courtney, the puppy, and I are headed up for a week in a cottage in New Hampshire. It’ll be nice to get away for a while, and as much as I’d like to keep updating the site while I’m gone, we are going to a really [...]

Verne Troyer? Mini-Me? Ick ick icky.
And by the way, this isn’t anything against little people. I believe our shorter brothers and sisters are fully deserving of happy and healthy sex lives. But if I was to make a list of every celebrity in the world I’d like to see in a [...]

Buffy’s off to college! And that’s all right, seeing as how the high school was totally destroyed last season. (And apparently hasn’t been rebuilt? Are all the teenagers in town being home-schooled now?) It was a nice touch for the show to hit the ground running in a season premiere, and not [...]

It’s summer, which means that there isn’t a lot of new TV on the air aside from reality shows. So when I heard that there was a new show - about swingers, no less - I figured it was worth checking out. I haven’t decided yet if I really like the show or [...]

Last night, legendary comedian George Carlin passed away of heart failure.
I have been a pretty big fan of the guy since I was a kid, and I can’t help but think what a shame it is to have lost such a hysterical guy. He was 71, but he never seemed to slow down or run [...]

Through the show’s ups and downs, I have maintained my loyalty to Smallville since first discovering the show towards the end of the second year. The show has had some truly great moments over the years, which is why it pains me to see it falter. Now, with the eighth and final season on the [...]

One of my personal heroes, Weird Al Yankovic, spoke with Billboard.com about the possibility of using digital delivery to make for more topical parodies. This idea is, of course, brilliant, and I am really excited. Instead of a Weird Al parody following the original song’s release by several months, it could [...]

Yesterday morning, the Mets fired their manager, Willie Randolph. The Mets have been a .500 or worse team so far this season, which is extremely disappointing given their $138 million dollar payroll and the talent that exists on the squad.
After last September’s historic collapse, Willie and the Mets were charged with the task of [...]

I want to thank everyone who passed along their support after reading Friday’s post. I know it was a far cry from my usual theorizing about Lost and pondering the details of Nintendo games, but all of the kind words that were passed along really meant a lot. Its been tough these past [...]

Last night, my friend Nicholas Capobianco passed away.
He was less than a month away from his 29th birthday.
Nick beat leukemia twice - once when he was a child, and again when it came back from remission a few years ago. The second time, he needed a bone marrow transplant, which left his immune system [...]
