Roomba
Monday, 3 December 2007 10:45 P GMT-08
For those of you who were wondering, the Roomba is pretty cool. I have a robot vacuum. It doesn't fit underneath the couch or coffee table which is a little disappointing, because that's where all the dust bunnies like to live - YMMV. In the

Fever Pitch (movie) (2005)
Tuesday, 27 November 2007 11:40 P GMT-08
Ok, so I can't even make up to 15 minutes without talking about what's wrong with this movie - so this is a live one. He's supposed to be obsessed with baseball, and so far every spare minute he has he's playing around with a football

Funny argyle tights. What's up with them. Why don't they all just wear kilts?First 30 seconds are a great opener, then goes off 'kilt'er with a confusing song & dance piece that is supposed to establish setting, and while it estab

One Drink Too Many
Monday, 19 November 2007 11:07 A GMT-08
I really shouldn't have had that last drink. It was one of those times when about an hour after the last drink, I was drunk. And suddenly the Sunday night Woot looked really good. I was actually surprised this morning when I saw the receipt in my

What a strange day...
Monday, 23 July 2007 7:02 P GMT-08
What a strange day today has been. First, it rained. In Los Angeles. In the summer. Second, it's humid. In Los Angeles. Everywhere in Los Angeles. Third, I went to work today. My first day of work. After nearly a month of not going to work. Yes,

When the new DLNA enabling firmware update to the PS3 that came out several weeks ago, I wanted to try out the functionality with my MacBook Pro. This would make the PS3 function as a middleman between my computer and my TV like the AppleTV. Unfor...
Doppelganger
Tuesday, 3 July 2007 10:40 P GMT-08
Ok, not quite a doppelganger. Maybe more like an evil twin? An alter ego? Whatever it is, it's weird. I almost forgot to blog about it. Way back in my early college Ultimate days, I found out that there was another Ultimate player who had my same...
Video Games, Blogging, and Laundry
Monday, 2 July 2007 10:49 P GMT-08
Since I'm not working, I'm stuck with laundry before our trip out to the east coast. Yay. I'd generally be stuck with it anyway, since I only work a normal 40 - 45 hour week, instead of a 65 - 80 hour week, but that's why I get paid the big bucks ...

How It Used To Be:It used to be the case when buying video games that one would have to take a risk and purchase a game based solely on its title and description. If you didn't like the game, you were basically shit out of luck. If you had a frie
