Thinking You’re Doing Something Original
Site note: to potentially get some commenting going on, you can now leave a comment without needing to fill-in an e-mail address. What’s that sound? Why, it’s the sound of accountability going out the window! Hmmph. I never thought we’d be “pioneers” in this little internet endeavor, but I did think that, at the minimum, […]

Pitchfork Media’s Top Album and Top Single of 2005
Obviously, at year’s end the opinion-based media puts out best of/worst of collections to (again, obviously) serve as “year-in-review” without going month-by-month, the same way that respected publications don’t review albums track-by-track, instead covering the highlights of the “grand scheme” of the album, then investigating the highlights of particular tracks. Pitchfork Media, which is one […]

Christmas 2005
Be sure to check out Nate’s review of Christmas cards that this review “posted over” tonight. Sorry Nate, I’m just trying to take care of the Christmas Night Media Blitz. One more down, and lots more to go. It’s not like I hate Christmas, it’s just that I’m a good number of years away from […]

Christmas Cards
Worst. Christmas. Card. Ever. I’m taking a little break in my continuing series of reviews on my collection of Nintendo games, but fear not, I still have some doozies to share. That’s right. I just said “Doozy”. I didn’t send out Christmas cards last year. It was kinda a big deal because the year before, […]

NES Games – Where’s Waldo
Where’s Waldo? If you said, “In the upper right corner”, who knows? Maybe you’re right. I was really into the whole “Where’s Waldo” fad when I was a kid. I think it had to do with the fact that I was reading a book without having to do any reading… I always liked to take […]

Block I of CUCVM, the Human Ribcage (1984 model), and Misc.
Note: I originally rated my final subject as a 1.5 star performance due to what I felt was excessive plagiarism. However, before I could publish this, our dictator chose to steal my triple-review format (though he admits this freely). Therefore, I awarded myself another half-star. Damn, Commies. Okay, I’ll be honest…I’ve been slacking it on […]

NES Games – Ducktales
Scrooge McDuck uses his patented “Pogo Jump” to defeat the Amazonian Snake. If only the girl at Pius X knew that. So for some reason, I recently pulled out my old Nintendo and realized how dumb nearly all of the games I had are. Granted most of these games were made in 1989 or thereabouts, […]

Knocking the Wind Out of Adam
Time for a mini-review! (before I take on my semi-idol, Roger Ebert later in the week) All things considered, this review will probably not actually earn “the seal”:-( So, we were playing football the day after Thanksgiving. There were about ten people there, which is a pleasantly complete number, as the field can be reasonably-sized, […]
