Conan to mumble through another movie starring the king of Conan movie mumbling; ABC to keep making you talk about elections; TNT gets another fast-talking lady; with the revitalization of surfing movies we’ll be hanging ten for forever; Tyler Perry will make more movies. Sigh. Continue reading
I’m sorry, Governor Romney. If Ted Danson, Tom Selleck, and Steve Guttenberg raising a daughter together is wrong I don’t want to be right. Continue reading
I wrote about the Fresh Beat Band/Music of Death last week and I did not mention the scandal. Yes, there is a scandal. During season one, the drummer, Marina, was played by Shayna Rose. Then, suddenly, in Season 2, she was replaced by Tara Perry. Some fans are super-angry about it.

To say that my home life growing up was anything approaching normal would be a stretch, so it came as no surprise to anyone when I announced to my folks that I was joining the Marines.
I don’t recall exactly what was going through my head when I made the decision; I do remember that I was home alone again, my parents out of town on yet another halleluiah tour of the Baptist churches in the surrounding states. At some point they had stopped insisting I keep uprooting myself to come along with them on these things, and I simply stopped going. They would be out of town three weeks out of the month, leaving me to attend school, work at the local grocery store, and sleep. Continue reading
