“We need emotional content.”
In what is a strange turn of events, the Wife is the one that ended up seeing a DVD at the store and insisting we buy it and watch it that night. What makes this stranger still is the fact that she wanted this particular DVD for reference purposes, and it [...]

After 3 Months Of Semi-Regular Practice
I STILL cannot complete Bark At The Moon by Ozzy Osborne on the expert setting of Guitar Hero.
I feel bad.
Also, I have finally seen Neil-O’s Mirrormask and while I liked it, I didn’t like it as much as I thought I would. More on that later.

More Work, And, Video Games Are Eeeevil
Aside from writing articles and playing the likes of Quake IV and Dead Or Alive 4 on the Xbox 360, the rest of the day was spent mulling over the mild disbelief over Tennessee. It would seem that the democratic party in that state has proposed a bill [...]
