Just saw Cloverfield. After a great deal of anticipation, on my part, for the last year or so I got to see it. I was suprised that it was comparatively light on the hype, which is good.

FIght predictions for tonight.

Hughes over GSP, Hughes is the dog.

Silva over Liddell, push.

Machida over Sokoudjou, Machida favored.

The show is elegant, baroque and never pulls any punches with the way it hits you in...

Argh.

Do not go see 300.

They cut out the second most important character in the story (Stelios) and added a bunch of mutant freaks (the headsman, the rhino and the freak...

I know... I love football and music. Both of which are frivolous pursuits clearly intended solely for entertainment.

Who else is sick of fucking Anna Nocole Smith on our 'news' channels?

A drugged out, wild child stripper dies of an overdose? Imagine that! It so sad that a woman so innocent, sweet and well bred would die in such a strange and unforseen...

Go look at Rei's set. She's built amazingly well, and her style in this set is so hot it almost hurts.

I can't help it, I love a woman in formal wear.
