How Wonderfully Decadent!

Tuesday, July 31st, 2007

Good news, everyone! The countdown is officially underway. November 27th will see the release of the much-anticipated (by myself and Harvard grads across the nation) Futurama movie. The high-definition film will be available as a DVD purchase on that date, and it will also be divided into four episodes, to be aired on Comedy Central [...]

Film Review: Vinyl

Monday, July 30th, 2007

There’s a dog in the alley that has been barking almost non-stop for the last five days. This morning it woke me up at 5:45am, after maybe two hours of sleep. I’m not in a very good mood, and find myself being haunted by visions of David Berkowitz and his neighbor’s dog’s incessant barking. Also, [...]

SUNDAY MIX TAPE – VOLUME 77

Sunday, July 29th, 2007

…And here’s post #2 for today. It’s just a mix tape. No cool stories or updates to go along with it. Although, if anyone out there knows CSS and wants to tell me how I can align everything on this page so that it’s always centered, and centered in every browser, that would be immensely [...]

Sunday, July 29th, 2007

Last night I witnessed the dazzling prog/psych/hard rock spectacle that was Titan, Earthless, and The Fucking Champs at Echoplex, located a mere footstep (plus several hundred) from my front door. As per usual, I showed up a half-hour after the listed start time, and I was still an hour early. I’ve yet to figure out [...]

Researchers in the U.K. have released findings of a study that shows that marijuana might increase the risk of psychosis, namely schizophrenia, by forty percent even with infrequent use. Of course, the fifth paragraph of the story states flatly, “The [...]

Film Review: The Simpsons Movie

Friday, July 27th, 2007

I went to see an 11:15am showing of The Simpsons Movie at the Arclight today, and I guess I’m going to take a few minutes to write about it, even though nobody cares what I have to say. The crowd’s excitement was quite palpable. The girl sitting to my immediate left was actually taking pictures [...]

CJ Boyd / And The Furies Say / Die! Die! Die! @ Silverlake Lounge

Thursday, July 26th, 2007

In October of 2004, I received a message from a band on MySpace telling me they had noticed my musical interests, and thought I might like their band. That was during a time (age? era?) when you could receive a message from a band on MySpace and actually consider listening to their music, rather than [...]
