Picking up from where we last left off, the commercial break winds down and I begin the bottom-half of my horrible, horrible experiment.

Perfect – P!nk

  • Speaking of staying power…I remember when Pink debuted (without the “!”) as an R&B singer with “attitude.” Then she turned into a pop-rock singer…with “attitude.” Now she alternates between dance music and straight pop ballads like this one…with “attitude.”
  • What’s with all the self-esteem building songs lately? Oh, right.
  • Well, this song is bland and generic. I was hoping this experiment would produce a lot more anger and rage, because More >
It kind of pisses me off that these guys have millions of dollars.

Adventures in Top 40 Radio

I basically hate most music. That’s not to say that I hate music; I don’t. I have music I really enjoy, but my tastes are very narrow and specific, and the general majority of music that’s out there today stimulates an ancient, dark part of my brain that knows only chaos and violence. And the absolute worst kind of music for stimulating that part of my brain is the crap they put on Top 40 radio these days.

So as a mildly masochistic experiment, I thought I’d force myself to listen to an hour of Top 40 radio, specifically KHKS 106.1 Kiss FM, one of the Dallas area’s consistently More >

Dear Blockbuster, this is why you’re going bankrupt

EDIT: As pointed out by a commenter below, Tron was in fact out of print and in Disney’s vault at the time I wrote this.  That and my response below in the comments.

Last weekend, I went to one of your bigger stores in the area to rent Tron. You didn’t have Tron, not on Blu-Ray or DVD. One of your helpful employees checked, and none of your stores in the area had it, either. A cult hit with a major sequel coming out in just a few months.

I couldn’t find anything else on Blu-Ray that I wanted to watch (how is it that Netflix’s barely stocked Watch Instantly selection is better than your More >

The object of so much hatred, sitting on a throw pillow.

I no longer fear hell, for I have dealt with Xbox support

I recently purchased an Xbox 360 Elite, partially to relieve the burden of my first-gen 360′s crowded hard drive, and partially to serve as a Media Center extender for my impending conversion to a Media Center DVR.  And I was quite happy to have a brand new controller, one where the joysticks centered properly and the nubs hadn’t been worn off.

Except the controller that came with the Elite was broken.  The left trigger squeaked and stuck, which means I’d be stuck with my face in my sights in Modern Warfare 2 while being shot to death from the side.  When something affects a man’s kill/death More >

Also, he has so much money at the end of all three movies.

Unforgiven sucks. There, I said it.

Once upon a time, I held fast to the notion that I didn’t like movie westerns. I don’t know why, I just assumed I didn’t. I’d seen Tombstone, which sort of counts, but I didn’t love it as much as my friends. I mean, it has Val Kilmer dying of tuberculosis and Kurt Russel sporting a killer mustache, and that’s about all it has going for it. I didn’t hate the movie, but the fact that I had to google it to remember that Kurt Russel was the star in the first place should tell you the impression it made on me. And that was the only western I’d ever managed to watch, unless you count that one More >

 

A grown-up’s guide to Sesame Street for grown-ups

Sesame Street is a wonderful educational program that’s been entertaining and informing small children for years.  For parents of young children, it can be a great educational tool.  It doesn’t hurt that it’s a children’s program that won’t make you want to throw your TV out the window, either.  Chances are, though, that it’s been a long time since you watched Sesame Street — or your parents didn’t love you enough to let you watch it when you were a kid — so you may not be as familiar with the characters as you think.  With that in mind, I happily present Random Rage’s grown-up’s guide to the More >

Just upgraded to WordPress 2.6, only to find out that it killed my permalinks.  If you’re having problems reading any of the posts here, that’s why.  I’m working to get it fixed, although I may be at the mercy of the next WP release.  Ugh.
