My Netflix Keaton-athon has begun!

Night shift arrives soon, followed by Gung Ho and then one of the funniest movies ever made, Mr. Mom. You think I am sh*ttin' you? Watch it!

What the judegs have allowed

1. Aw hell yeah!
2. Wish I could say "Broken" but the judges won't allow it. NIN must be represented so it stays.
3. The judges say "Grilfriend."
4. Elvis gets about 6 picks. This is one. "My Aim is True," "This years Model," "Trust," "Spike," and "When I was Cruel." If space allows there are some others, but we can't get greedy.
5. The judges say "Document.'' But they could be wrong.
6. Mmm...young Natalie. *drool*
7. Yes, yes, and yes.
8. Don't ask me what you know is true.
9. All Music says this is a proper album, so it stays. I have always thought it was a Soundtrack thing, but am glad it stays.
10. This however is a compillation. Besides, some of the B-Sides drag it down overall. And I never got over "The Girl Least Likely To" not being on there. The judges say "Viva Hate," "Vauxhaul and I," and space allowing "You Are the Quarry (special edition.)" More room must be made for the Smiths.

The Albino Blacksheep Of the Family

For those of you who need something to fill the seemingly endless hours between waking and sleeping, I present to you Albino Blacksheep. A site rife with (mostly) Flash animation, music videos, games, etc. Perhaps an outlet for the Goldfish, hmm?

Death Cab Decision

Despite the fact that I bought PLANS at Target, Death Cab is still cool. Had I bought a pair of Chuck Taylors at Target would they be any less cool? And are they any less cool because the unwashed masses have accepted them? I know these aen't universal rules, but ona case-by-case basis they apply. U2 and Radiohead are still realtively cool. And before anyone says anything, I understand that it is very hard for a 30+ year-old man to pull off Converse hightops. I may still be able to do Jack Purcells.
