Been digging the entire album, but for some reason it's been removed from Spotify. Agree on the song, love it.

Are there 4D movie theaters in 'MURICA? They are the norm over here. 18,000 WON ($16.50) to sit in a seat that moves, shakes, vibrates, pokes your back and legs, all while getting bursts of air and mist shot at you. Plus the movie is in 3D. Iron Man 3 was better because of it. There's a new theater...

The only sliver lining in today's Tigers/Twins debacle was the Tigers broke the AL record for most consecutive games throwing 10+ strikeouts. With four games against the Astros coming up, they could really put some distance away on that one. Going to Minute Maid tonight with my buddy from Michigan.

Did you punch her for me?

I can't see any of the videos posted here, but I want to guess this is that civilian cargo plane that crashed in Afghanistan. If not, someone needs to post that video.

The Rockets will not finish within 10 points in any game against the Thunder. They've run out of gas. Not a bad result for the youngest team in the league. Bring on Josh Smith . Be careful what you wish for. Well, at least I was off on my score prediction. Not sure if anyone saw Delfino posterizing...

Yeah, I think you're probably right rass, it was just a poorly-written tweet.

And I had know that he was throwing his 80th birthday party in Austin today, I wouldn't have left. Blows my mind that Willie Nelson (who should also be thrown in there) wrote Patsy Cline's "Crazy". You shoulda come watch The Black Crowes with me in the torrential downpour Saturday night! ...

So, I know this is very late, but... What the fuck was Bloomberg doing calling a press conference to announce that Suspect #2 said he and his brother *might* have been heading to Times Square to blow things up? What was that? Seriously. And why is this leading newscasts at all. I generally do not s...

That was the hope deflating out of me after a extreme reach pick...

I like the Texans pick, though.

And that was me making fun of our new WR smearing feces all over his hotel room at the Combine.

IIRC the Suns own the Lakers 1st rounder.

I thought it was only if it was a lotto pick (and I'm sure top 3 protected or something).

And wow, Westbrook out indefinitely with a torn meniscus.

Crazy story. I know it is such a freak accident that it'll never happen to him again, but I'd have such a hard time getting back out there.

The last week I smoked was the Saturday night before classes started in the fall of my freshman year of college. I don't really know why, but I decided to quit after that. Beer was easy to get in college, but my reasoning was that it still took more effort to get drunk than get high. You can get hi...

I still smoke on rare occasions - usually when I visit an old friend, but I cut back to this level when my daughter was born. Gave away all my paraphernalia when she was just a few days old. When I'm out there, I love picking out my goodies from the menu from the dispensary my sister frequents. Ice...

I think he was joking.

Btw, Lakers will not win the 2013 NBA championship. I just now figured this out. Neither will the Rockets. I'm scared to look up the most lopsided series in playoff history because I won't be surprised if the Rockets beat it. Well, shit. Had a great chance to steal one last night. McHale's adjustme...

Just got tickets to see Bob Dylan, Wilco and My Morning Jacket on their Americana tour this summer at the local amphitheater. God, I hope Dylan is better than he was when I saw him at B.U. Just ask Sybian how bad it was. I have a friend who is leaning hard on me to join him at that show when they c...

The Black Crowes in Austin on Saturday night!

I love the dark chocolate peanut butter cups.

Todd Barry premieres his this week.

Michael Shannon deserves some kind of an award for this. I sent that link to my LadyFriend in Seattle, who forwarded it to her 20 year old daughter who is in a sorority. The daughter said that her sorority had already had a long talk about that email, and are using it as a "teaching moment&quo...

A. Damn. This shit is crazy. Been up since 5:00, and took me until 6ish to get through my Twitter feed (Tweetbot only loaded the last 800ish tweets, so I missed out on most of the earlier events last night/early AM). My money's on others involved. B. Finally got my ass here to Swamp 6.0. My legs we...

The Czech Stop is awesome if you ever find yourself on that stretch of highway. Do they have Czech food? (Dumplings, sausages, kraut and whatnot). If so, I'm going to add that of my list of places to check out when I take my epic roadtrip one day. No, it's pretty much a bakery/gas station. They hav...

The correct answer is John Amaechi. John. Amaechi.

He's no Biggio.

Yeah, this seems like a no-brainer.

I'd probably have become a teacher. Good union, not terrible pay here in MD, good benefits, can find work in most other states, summers off (or work half days in the summer for good pay). Ultimately, I wouldn't mind teaching others to teach so I can make sure the shitty teachers my Max has run into...

Finished that Traffic book that had been mentioned here a few times. Pretty interesting and eye-opening.

About halfway through The Passage. I hear the second book is awful, but I'm really enjoying this one. I did not read the flap so went into it nearly blind.

Rockets won thanks to a goaltending call at the buzzer on Jermaine O'Neal. First playoff berth since 2009. Not bad for the youngest team in the league.

FX is developing a vampire show based on the The Strain trilogy.

Johnnie wrote:So wait, Californication finished up this week? Why was I able to get a hold of the final episode last week then?

I think Showtime makes episodes available on their website the week before.

Justified's finale was satisfying. Next season should see some pretty awesome Boyd/Winn Duffy scenes.

There was nothing quite so delightful as an Ebert review of a really bad movie. I think he got a perverse kick out of dreaming up new ways to say "this movie sucks". For example, from his review of the movie "North": "I hated this movie. Hated hated hated hated hated this m...
