INKSTAND

Holy Shit, God does exist!!! I know this because I can play scrabble online! I made a friend online, as I’m prone to doing once in a while, who mentioned Scrabble. I bought a new Scrabble set a few months ago and have yet to use it. I can’t seem to get any friends to play with me, most likley because I rush home to get on the computer. This is the perfect solution!
If anyone wants to play, download this program and hunt me down. I’m usually on late at night. The program can be found here. My username is (duh) Inkstand.

This ale may not exactly mark the start of the Christmas season, but it will do until Lagunita’s Brown Shugga comes out. The Maritime brewery is only blocks from my house and I figure since the Eagle (leather bar) has it year round, the brewery probably does, too. Most likely because their sign has the skull-santa logo on it. I have yet to go there.
I’m not sure what the percentage of this ale is since it’s not on the bottle, but it seems to be pretty strong. I’m pretty tipsy after having only two while playing online scrabble with a friend of mine. Speaking of wich…

Antichrist or not, the coolest children are the ones who never say a word.It’s been a few years since I saw the original movie, so I don’t recall the fine details, but for the most part this movie stayed remarkably close to the original. So close, in fact, that I have to say I don’t think it needed to be made. Dissapointingly, this movie is also the biggest thing to exploit the date 06-06-06 last June. You’d think Satan himself would’ve made an appearance.


At first I thought the idea of Mia Farrow playing the nanny was hokey, what with her being in Rosemary’s Baby and all, but she did a pretty good job. I believed she was evil. Julia Stiles was okay. Whenever I think of her or Heath Ledger, my mind goes straight to 10 Things I Hate About You. This creeped me out when I noticed in this movie that Stiles is beginning to look like Ledger.


The big differences that I did notice were stupid. First, instead of the baboons in the drive through zoo,which were scary as fuck, we have hissing capuchins and what looks like an animatronic or cg gorrilla trying to break a window. ooh, scary. Secondly, instead of ridint a three wheeler to knock his mom off the balcony, he’s riding a Razor Scooter. I thought they were updating this movie, not setting it back in time eight years.


In a nutshell, see the original. It’s, like, the same.

I had one of these for the first time yesterday. I can assure you that it will most definitley NOT be my last.

These bubbles don’t work half bad. They do, however, run down the wall of the tub, so it left streaks the first time, then I did it again. If you spray real slow the foam builds up alittle more and isn’t as runny. It didn’t get all the soap scum out of the tub, but there’s this sort of perfect square of scum forming where the scrubbing bubbles work in the area AROUND the square, but not IN it. This makes me think it’s not the product’s fault but something under the enamel of my tub. who knows.

I don’t often get christmas ornaments, but when I see something cool like a robot, or the batmobile I have to pick it up. Last year I saw a Godzilla ornament, but of course they were sold out. This year I saw a new one and they were out AGAIN! Today, however, I got one. I guess they got a new shipment in. And it was the last one! It even makes sounds. Everything today rocks.

This movie was pretty wonderful. Even without the incredible music, the actors really hit their marks. Although, while I liked Virginia Madsen in it, her whole part seemed odd. I guess that was the point. It’s funny, I remember she co-hosted the last season of Unsolved Mysteries, and she’s wearing a trenchcoat throughout this whole movie. That’s all I’ve ever really seen her in…oh, wait, I saw short/creepy/drunk/cute Paul Giamatti slobbering all over her in Sideways.
MY biggest gripe is with Lindsey Lohan. I had such hope for her after Mean Girls, but she never seems to deliver. Her character is probably the most forced, not really fitting into place at all. She’s a “troubled” teen who learns a valuable lesson. The only problem is I think she has her change of heart OFF SCREEN. She’s one way in one scene, then all different right away. I don’t really get it.
Other than that, this movie is rad. The cast is great, even Woody Harrelson does a good job. And Lily Tomlin’s still got it!

Every once in a while I catch SNL and am shortly after reminded of why I no longer watch it. Fortunatley tonight that reminder came in the monologue, right at the beginning. I did not know who the man doing stand-up was, but my guess was that he was the winner of Last Comic Standing. Either that or someone who was made famous for some other reason, but wanted to do a comic routine for his mono. Apparently Dane Cook, who is the lead in a new movie, Employee of the Month, co-starring Jessica Simpson, actually makes his living as a comedian and has even had an HBO special. This baffles me becasue he was not the slightest bit funny.
He started on how negative people like to gossip and how they love company and stuff. I am a negative person and he must have meant negative people who are negative for attention, not negative people who actually hate others and don’t want attention. I am not offended by this because I’m sure no one will remember his set. I mean the audience was only kind of politley laughing. He also went on the humorously describe how negative people describe another’s suicide. That’s fine with me, just make it funny.
He did get one laugh out of me in a joke involving California driving laws. But it’s not funny enough for me to go into.
And sometimes he acts really gay.
It looks like Cook will be in the new Transformers movie to be released next year. It’s also being directed by Michael Bay. With this combo, I’m sure another of my childhood memories will be shat upon.
Update:I told my friend Nate about this review and he said that Dane Cook was really funny and he liked him a lot. I’m rethinking being friends with him.

People are always on about ninjas and robots and pirates. Fuck them. It’s all about cowboys. I’ve read this series from the start and even some of the older ones from the 60’s. I’ve learned one thing about Jonah Hex and that’s that he’s all about the money. People will beg him to help them, but he usually only does if there’s something in it for him. Luckily for those in distress, the writers always have a way of making that work out. In this issue, a group of mormons living in the hills are hiding from townsfolk who want them dead. Hex gets caught up in the middle. He helps the mormons, killing all the bounty hunters from town, and as uaual, gets something in return. I think it’s a deed to land so he can sell it.
This issue was cool, with some awesome gun and knife fights, but I doubt I will see anything as cool as issue 10, when Hex feeds an old lady to an aligator.

This was posted in the comments of Review #11, way back when. I just took a look at again and thought I’d share. The purpose is to showcase some very, very horrendous band photos. I could look at these all day, that is until my eyes are sore from staring at the computer. This happens a lot. One thing they love to point out is the number of photos featuring a band standing against a brick wall. They refer to them as brick-wallers.

Another thing they do, wich I find odd, is that they call any given band mamber “Jeremy” when they want to single them out. My friend Jeremy is the one who left the comment linking to this site. I doubt there’s a connection, but I’ll have to ask him.
