…and it wasn’t too much later they came out with Johnson’s wax.

Well, I’m still alive, despite some recent late nights and heavy use of recreational beverages. I’ve learned some important things from this, however. First off, Coffee Stout, beer pong, and spades make for good times. Secondly, Livingdead had officially reneged on his vow to never drink absinthe again. At least we now know for sure that he doesn’t like it. And finally, I have to face the cold fact that I have to work tomorrow after having been on vacation for the last week. N-O-O-OOOOOOOO!!

So yeah, its been about a month since the last update. I’m not going to bother making excuses anymore. Again, I’ve had a few ideas for posts, and again, these ideas never materialized into anything worthwhile. Most of them are inherently preachy and/or depressing, so I’ll spare you. I mean, we all know that everything sucks and everyone’s an asshole. That’s pretty much old hat.

The most frequent topic that kept popping into my mind is the recent dealings within the music industry. If you haven’t heard, a few of the more mainstream bands have opted not to re-up their deals with their labels and instead sell their product directly to the consumer. Kudos indeed. One can only hope that this becomes standard practice. If you haven’t heard about this, then you’re either addicted to an MMO or online gambling, or you’ve never been on the internet. If it’s the former, then you’re pretty much a lost cause already. If it’s the latter, then you should be looking at porn instead of reading this drivel. But I digress…

Anyway, that previous paragraph was essentially a segue [pronounced SEG-WAY, Livingdead] to a link for an interesting article which looks at the recent issues with OiNK and the decline of the recording industry. The article is a tad long for those of you who are pressed for time, so I would recommend you at least check out the four steps at the end.

And, assuming that none of you will actually read and discuss the above article, I’ve decided to throw out some conversational fodder. The topics are:

Candy corn – does anyone actually like it? I tend to agree with Lewis Black.

Boston just won the World Series for the second time in four years, and the Pats are still undefeated. How long should Bostonians be forbidden to complain about any of their sports teams? Bonus: does anyone even care?

I’m going to write a choose-your-own-adventure series of posts that will rely on you, good readers, for story advancement. But to get started, I need a topic. Let’s really get the creative juices flowing on this one.

Confidential to Livingdead: Death Proof wasn’t as good as Planet Terror.

Confidential to Tman: I was disappointed by Planet Terror. Can we still be friends?

  1. I was wondering when you were going to post again!!
