Mega art for a Mega monday
You know I can deal with the rising price of gas and oil, increased chances of inflation, recession and all that kinda stuff. But I draw the line at hops. Apparently there’s a shortage of hops and it is impacting the production of beer. Sweet, golden beer. Enuff Z’nuff. Hops [...]

Ok, this is a review and a half. Let me just get Across the Universe out the way, first. There’s really a lot I could say about this movie, mostly not positive (although some scenes were particular beautiful or cool), but it pretty much all stems from one root problem. It’s really, really hard to [...]

But as it settled in I realized, strangely, what an impact he’s had on my life. More than almost anyone who isn’t my family, he’s had a huge effect [...]

Well, today’s a day. A day to make that special someone happy and I’m here to show you the way. Three ways. Not that kinda three way. Perv. (although don’t try and deny that’s an awesome song)
Anysizzle, if that special someone is a movie nerd - you could show that person the new Indiana Jones [...]

But, one common refrain, not entirely with justice, but not entirely without basis either, is that spending all that time practicing not playing guitar could perhaps be modified to actually learn guitar. Whatev - you see all them kids on the [...]

You know what’s awesome? When Firefox gets itself into a reset loop that makes you have to restart your computer. That’s totally awesome. Anyways…
Trey and Matt are looking to make a new movie Giant Monsters Attack Japan! Reasons for optimism: “Eiji Tsuburaya Productions, creators of Ultraman and many classic Kaiju costumes, may be working on [...]

If you like seeing old photos skarabej is for you. If you don’t like that, well… maybe you should reconsider your priorities in life, come on, those old photos you find in flea markets and garage sales? Cool!
