Quick hits before Syracuse

There are a lot bands/movies/books/etc. that I really only like for the whole nostalgia thing. I know everyone does this but I feel like it's almost holding me back somehow. Like it's keeping me from moving on or growing up or something. On a somewhat related note as soon as the Simpsons goes off air and releases a box set I'll probably spend upto $200 on that and never watch more than a handful of episodes.

Speaking of moving on, I think it's time I invested in a new wallet. But I'm very paticular about this so it's going to be an ongoing saga. I'll be sure to keep you updated with new developments.

New Futurama DVD on the 24th, needless to say this news blew my mind.

Fun facts, losing at a video game makes me very angry. Which is sad I know, but moving on. Puppys running around causing pure chaos is awesome.

Maybe I'm the last one to notice this but Lonnie is definitely in the first episode of Scrubs, he makes a cameo in an mri machine.

I know the show has had it's share of critics but after a subpar season two Heroes has redeemed itself with a great season three and a very promising start to season four. Even if it is basicaly doing the xmen/sentinals story. But let's be honest when you're dealing with super powers there's only so much story potential.

New Damnwells record Feb 10. And you can get it here for free. I don't think words can describe how excited I am for this. New songs are up on their myspace as well and they're fantastic. I've spent most of my morning listening to them while kind of reading/watching the snow fall, it's nice not having a real job.

"There was a story on last year's Eli Manning-to-David Tyree play. Giants center Shaun O'Hara had this to say about Manning's somehow slipping out of Richard Seymour's grasp before throwing the ball downfield: "It was such an impressive play from our standpoint because we've seen [Eli] fall on the ground numerous times before in practice for no reason at all."

Whoever doubted me that it was Diane Kruger in Troy can suck it.

In suprising news story 842...c...I like the Veronica's. And I feel entirely confident in saying that having listened to a full 1 3/4 songs. BTW, in case you didn't catch it Nate I was pseudo referencing you.

I have a new favorite website, not unlike not always right. It's called F*** My Life. And it's awesome, current favorites...

"Today, I got an email from the local D&D meet up group that the next meeting will be on Feb. 14th. I don't know what is more sad... that the group is meeting on valentines day or that I have nothing better to do but go. FML"
"Today, I drove an hour in a rainstorm to go see my boyfriend. Thirty minutes and a blow job later, he tells me he's going to meet some friends for dinner in half an hour then kicks me out of his house. It's still raining. FML"
"Today, I was refilling some guy's iced tea at bandana's, and the uppity jerk had the gall to ask me if I ever kissed a girl considering how fat I am, how high my voice is, and how little money I make. FML"
"Today, a girl I've had a huge crush on for a long time told another friend of ours to get a life. I, in my infinite genius responded that her mom needed to get a life. She ran out of the room bawling. I got slapped in the face and informed that her mom had died not long ago. FML"




There probably won't be any athlete in NY more deserving of getting his number retired than Adam Graves.
Mark Messier is like two minutes into his speach about Adam Graves and he's already teary eyed. He might be the toughest cry baby ever.



"I feel I have to find some meaning
I don't think I see any
I don't know what it is I see at all
Oh, no one's got it right, yeah
They're just telling lies
Combined with their own special kind of truth"
-Straylight Run





So this band is giving away their new ep for free. And it's not bad, similar enough to Brand New, it's not as good but there's some potential here and it's free.

I don't think this video has gotten enough views...
