COMMENT SPAM ROLL OUT!

There is no better way to spend a Sunday morning than moving through the entire first season of Beverly Hills 90210. (On the clock, mind you.) I don't remember it being quite this moralizing though, so that each episode takes on an afternoon school special vibe. The one on shoplifting is particularly dramatic.

I also applied for an internship that I'm interviewing for next week, but I shall withhold details for a bit because Google ruining my chances would just be so 2005.

Guitar Hero II is less than 48 hours away. TWO DAYS. Air guitar is bad enough, but when you begin air guitaring a presumably fake videogame controller guitar (as I just did), that's just too cool.

Midterms are finally wrapping up, as I just completed another paper I can be proud of. This time it's an in-depth rumination of this movie as displaying the political/social potential of the race-switching comedy genre:

But what paper would be complete without in-text comparisons to Soul Man and White Chicks? Sometimes I think back on really dull high school guidance classes and wonder exactly what their concept of college was.

Have you seen Fred Astaire's 'Bojangles' dance from Swing Time...blackface and all, fantastic.

I need to learn more about video games (Guitar Hero included) since I never got past NES (with power pad and duck hunt gun). I pretty much can boog with the best of 'em (dudes, I mean, you can't boog with girls) but I am lost when it comes to video games. Learn me! (parenthetical parenthetical, where is Jayme Fowler?)

Erica I could give you the history of videogames and you wouldn't even have to pay me.

Your last line was hilarious because dude, you are so right.
