The Hot Topic: The Death of Cooking

I was a smidge late in posting the last one, so this week’s Hot Topic comes right on its heels.
——–
From the fevered minds of a loose grouping of self-appointed cultural commentators comes a weekly side-swipe at the issues of the day, providing a pithy and often heated debate on pop culture as they see […]

In the Middle: The CIA Leak Case

My blogcritic friends Eric Berlin and Phillip Winn have been writing a very intelligent, interesting, and bi-partisan political column for several weeks now. I normally don’t get political in this space, but it is so nice to see two intelligent people debate current issues without resorting to muck raking and name calling that I just […]

The Hot Topic: Coffee and CDs

The Mondo Gentlemen’s club has started a group discussion. It will hopefully run weekly and be on every topic under the sun. It will be hosted each week by a different member of the club, and the topic is to their choosing.

The Great Pumpkin

It is tradition that Amy and I throw a pumpkin carving party around Halloween. It started as a party of two, me and her carving our own pumpkins. In time roommates joined the festivities, and eventually we decided to have real parties.

Movie Review: Suicide Club

Fifty four Japanese school-girls stand on a train platform, holding hands, singing and laughing. As the train approaches they clasp their hands tighter, and in sing song fashion start to count. As the train arrives, the counting stops and all 54 of them jump in front of the train. Buckets of blood and guts spray […]

Dinosaur Jr Announce New Tour, DVD

It was my freshman year of college, say August of 1994, my parents had just started the 800 odd mile trek back to Oklahoma. I didn’t know a soul. After a few freak out moments, I sucked it up, threw on my lucky Dinosaur Jr. T-shirt, circa Where You Been, and headed down […]

A Little Rudimentary Tinkering

Alright, so I made this big deal out of turning this blog into some kind of pop culture haven during my post France adventures.
Then I failed at producing it.
Turns out I’m tired. I mean like pretty stinking exhausted. My work schedule is nuts. I work some nights, some days, and some middle afternoons. […]
