The Democratic reaction to the election just gets funnier and funnier. They act like the majority of the country had been overrun by zombies or Nazis.

Maybe I can afford to move to San Francisco if enough jobs open up because of the exodus from the oppressive USA.

The weekend of October 2-3, 2004, will go down in history as one of the darkest periods in Tennessee football. This quote from The Tennessean really says it all: "The Titans were beginning to develop a reputation for starting fast and collapsing down the stretch. They did their best to shake that image yesterday, collapsing early in a 38-17 loss to the Chargers." Ouch!

It would have been cool if UT had made it to the game against Auburn as well.

Trillian should be a member of the Software Hall of Fame. I don't know how I got by without it for so long. Not only does it encapsulate 4 different IM clients for me, but it also handles all of my RSS feeds via its News plugin. I liked it so much that I happily forked over hard-earned cash money for it. You should do the same right now.

Do not go see Van Helsing. This has got to be the most predictable, boring, piece of crap since... I was going to say Underworld, but it suddenly struck me that Kate Beckinsdale starred in both of these craptastic films. I mean it- save your money. I'm still angry that I paid to see such a lousy film.

Wired News: NASA to Test Space-Time Fabric

Tuesday's Elvis Costello show was awesome but was tainted for me by 2 things: cell phones and dropped plastic cups! There needs to be some technology invented that interrupts cellular phone signals and prevents cell phones from ringing. And the Ryman needs to ban beverages inside the auditorium. I don't care that someone loudly dropped a cup 3 rows behind me and I had to sit with my feet in their beer but I do mind that it happened right at the beginning of "I Still Miss Someone." I witnessed someone get yanked out of the Ryman at a previous show for being lound and drunk but that wasn't taking place Tuesday unfortunately.

On another note, I went to buy the Rhino reissue on Wednesday and the clerk at Grimey's Records asked if I went to the show and if "he rocked." The clerk said that he didn't go because he was afraid that "he wouldn't rock." I replied that you don't always have to have a drum kit to rock. I don't think that he was able to process that at all.

If you are a big fan of the Jesus and Mary Chain, and if you're not you should be, you should do yourself a favor and explore April Skies.

Do yourself a favor and don't watch the film Underworld. It is a mess. I'm still not clear what was going on. And how unfortunate that in their attempt to spawn some new lingo, they chose "Lycan" to signify a lycanthrope. Everyone knows that a lichen is a moss. I spent the first few minutes of the film wondering why vampires were fighting a group that named themselves after a moss.

Today I am 35 years old.

I wasn't familar with this guy until today, but his column really goes a long way toward describing what is wrong with the media in this country. I didn't see the incident first hand because I didn't watch the Super Bowl this year.

There were 2 reasons why I didn't watch. The first is that as a Titans season ticket buyer, I've watched enough professional football. Also, I attended several UT games this year and watched even more on TV. I have devoted enough of my time this year to football.

Second, and maybe more importantly, I'm tired of having the media manufacture these huge events and tell me I must watch. Why do I care about who wins a game between some guys from New England and North Carolina? The more cynical among us claim that the advertisements during the game are the reason to watch these days in the era of NFL parity, but this is even worse justification for watching. Why should I be entertained by 30 second clips designed to entice me into spending money?

Sorry, CBS, but your arguments were just not persuasive enough this year. While I'm thinking about it, there isn't a single show that I ever watch on CBS. The only show that I can even name that appears on CBS is David Letterman's show. Wait. Is it "Late Night with David Letterman" or just "The David Letterman Show"?

Howard Dean is a maniac!!!

Obese people are sad!!!

It's always good to examine both points of view in order to make a truly informed decision. The Case for the Empire makes some excellent points, but it still does not change my mind regarding Attack of the Clones: IT SUCKED.
