At home, I use a Mac. At work, I use a PC. The other day when starting-up AOL Instant Messenger at work, I received one of those nice little notices mentioning that there was a new version of AIM (I think it’s something like 5.5.6721098509873240985480943259078324809325895421390823149085902229C … but I could be wrong) available for download thatContinue reading “COULD THIS BE THE REASON THE MALL IS NO LONGER NAMED AFTER AOL?”

… because it’s all very applicable to me as well. Cup of Chica describes her relationship with her books: “reading them,” “avoiding them,” and “buying them,” which she translates into “possessing them.” I’ve never met the lady, yet anyone who’s seen my apartment might think she has psychoanalyzed me perfectly. That is until you browseContinue reading “THE SCARIEST THING I’VE READ TODAY”

Overheard while waiting for the slowest elevator in Manhattan earlier today: Postman: Hey, have you seen The Passion of Christ? Security Guard: No. Why should I? Postman: Well … Security Guard: Have you read the Bible? Postman: Sure. Security Guard: I read the Bible. I know what happens.

It seems that tomorrow night’s episode of favorite guilty-pleasure The O.C. is the last airing of the series for a little while so Fox can capitilize more on the astounding success of American Idol by making the crappy results show an even crappier 60 minutes (at least on 3/10), as they also launch the newContinue reading “YOU TAKE THE GOOD, YOU TAKE THE BAD …”

The Cinetrix takes the Online Film Critics Association to task. My favorite quote: Looking for professional-level quality is setting the bar pretty low, if they’re taking print media folks as their measure. Hey, I personally know a member of the OFCA, and I can certainly say that Cinetrix is at least as qualified as anyContinue reading “I DON’T CARE TO BELONG TO ANY CLUB THAT WILL HAVE ME AS A MEMBER”

Not that I thought my immense readership was going to move mountains, but come on. 14% turnout in New York?!?! That’s not apathy … that’s disgusting. For all of you who don’t like Kerry but just expected him to win and that’s why you stayed home (apparently about 4.2 Million of you), your votes actuallyContinue reading “SHAME ON YOU”

Well, it’s one of three news headlines that popped up when I signed-on to AIM today. Right between “Kerry to Battle Bush’s ‘Attack Machine’” and “Mars Once ‘Suitable for Life.’” <a href="http://channels.aimtoday.com/celebrity/story.jsp?idq=/ff/story/0049/20040302/110730324.htm&sc=ENTERTAINM&quot;‘Idol&#8217; Clay Aiken’s Father Dies at 68 In fact, making this even lesser non-news, the two were estranged as birth-dad left Aiken’s mom whenContinue reading “I’M SORRY … THIS IS NEWS?”

I know I said no more Oscar-talk, but this is about next year’s Oscars, so it doesn’t count. Before seeing Cold Mountain the other night, there was a trailer for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. For those of you out there not as film-obsessed as I, this is the latest film from writer CharlieContinue reading “NEXT BEST”

OK, maybe not completely feh. If you’re in one of the 10 states holding primaries today — and considering most of the people I know are in New York or Kalleeforneeya (the Governor has changed the spelling to better reflect his pronounciation, no?) — please go to the polls and vote, even if you’re aContinue reading “DON’T FORGET TO VOTE”

Super Tuesday? Feh … According to The Week, it’s a bad week for … “Unconditional love when a German man propsed to his 196-pound girlfriend, but said he’d only marry 140 pounds of her. Isabel Witte, 28, promised to lose 56 pounds before the wedding, but complained, ‘My fiance is a fantastic cook.’” I’ve alwaysContinue reading “TOP NEWS”
