I'm very excited and intrigued by the new Star Trek movie, directed by J.J. Abrams. The trailer is up on YouTube, but I don't know how long it will be there considering it's a camcorder recorded clip. Check it out while you can, then check out the IMDb page on it.
Vice President Cheney underwent another heart procedure today. I have a feeling that his heart problems aren't anything typically diagnosed by modern medicine. I think it's the fact that his heart is made out of coal. Or maybe shit. Maybe pure evil given material form. Not really sure, but definitely something like that.

yeah. fuck 'em all. they get what they deserve. no offense.
Back in my high school days and my first few years in college, I knew a girl on the Internet by the name of Deanne. All I knew about Deanne was that she was older than me by some measure of years, she lived in Florida, she had a tiny little mouse voice, she and her parents were French (at least her Dad was), and...

Some girl in some school got two days of detention the other day for hugging her friend. I just read about it on Digg. Obviously that's ridiculous, but the part that caught my attention was what the mother said when asked why she made her daughter serve out her ridiculous punishment:
"Coulter said she and her husband told their daughter to go ahead and serve...

So, I'm going to stick my neck out to be sawed off (which, apparently, is a staple of Halloween now also and deserves a ranting post of its own) and say that Nightmare Before Christmas really isn't as good as people think it is, and it certainly isn't good enough to be the modern Halloween anthem that it's become. It's good. I like it. It's...

I'm on a Costco sales seminar right now. It's where Costco pays their sales staff to go out of town to a big training thing that corporate does and learn about all the cool electronics-related stuff we're selling. That doesn't matter in the slightest - what matters is that I get a free hotel room, all to myself, and the most important part: $75 per...

GAH! MONSTER BASH!!!!!!! i've only pulled off the monsters of rock once in my life. it was a defining moment for me.
i did once get jedi lord on the episode 1 video pinball.

Yah, for $75/day you can eat in those restaurants labeled "$$$$" in the travel guides. Wheee! 
So, apparently I'm an amazing reader. A friend of mine and I are taking the same philosophy classes this semester (a seminar on Heidegger's "Being and Time" and an aesthetics course that has, so far, covered Sibley, Danto, Isenberg, and Mothersill, if you're interested), and on each of her papers I've somehow illuminated something that she completely missed while doing the reading and writing.

For some reason, this morning in the shower I decided to post a list of my favorite words to my SG blog. I have no idea why. Blame my shower.
Gnarled
Superfluous
Ostracize
Assay
Spontaneity
Defenestration
Penultimate
Existence
Pornography
Aegis
Not a top 10, but some of my favorite sounding words. Doesn't really have anything to do with the meaning, just the sound of the...

We definitely need you for Kara Sunday night if you're able to be around. We're going to try to start at 9pm, and hopefully we'll have enough people. We're doing Opera and Curator if all goes well.
I'd like to share a real-life conversation I overheard at work today.
The participants are Heather, a late-teens-or-early-twenties girl, and Donald, a late-teens-or early-twenties boy.
Heather is a self-titled "model" from Los Angeles who moved to Reno for reasons I haven't cared to discover. Rumor is her breasts are fake - if they aren't fake then they're the most perfect breasts I've ever seen, and...

i'm from idaho.
when i went to college (in 1997, mind you), a girl who had never left manhattan asked me if we had cars and running water in idaho. ignorance is independent of coast. or even continent.

This is, quite possibly, the most amazing thing I've ever seen, ever.
( I can't embed it, so go here and be amazed. )
In case you're wondering, it's Stevie Wonder. He's blind.

sea:
wow. thanks for your thoughtful insight.
we're going to meet at a mutual location we're both familiar with, which happens to be a pizza place near the ocean, then we're gonna head out for a couple drinks, and then we're going to a late night showing of wet hot american summer, which just so happens to be a movie the both of us enjoy a whole lot.
does that sounds like a recipe for disaster? because if you think so, i'll call and cancel right away!!!
really tho, i appreciate your advice, and totally agree with a whole lot of what you said.
take care darlin!

How fast did your tire get replaced? That was the only good part - the service guys came and fixed it quick!
Hope you had a great weekend!

In response to the President's latest executive order:
I do not think being in Iraq is a good idea.
I am flat out against our presence in Iraq.
As often as I can in the appropriate context, I tell people my opinions about Iraq (see above).
If the opportunity presented itself, I would participate in a peace march, protest, or other such objection to...

Well said. Even Republicans cannot believe they voted for him... sad that more of our people died in Iraq than in the Trade Center... thankfully I am too old to be drafted. If I were a young guy iand healthy - I would be worried. Luckily he's only got a short time left.
So, my city is on fire. Literally. A giant hillside (3000+ acres) very, very, very close to the city proper is on fire. You can see the flames dancing around and the smoke rising up from almost anywhere in Reno. The more luxurious, hillside homes that people built up among the (very flammable, turns out) sagebrush are in immediate danger. Evacuations have occurred, but thankfully...
