Stupid is probably the wrong word to describe how I felt carrying a bundle of 36 rolls of toilet paper down a highly congested street. That's the last time I walk to Costco. Costco sells tickets for ski lifts and movie theatres and whatnot, but…

Last chance at the romance dance
Tim Goodman in the San Francisco Chronicle: Having argued with other TV critics about the merits of "24" ceaselessly, there was a personal stalemate at hand. Loved the first season, tolerated the second, thought the third was a sitcom, the fourth fatuously unnecessary. But this…
I don't work in this van
Brad Pitt did not call Jennifer Aniston to tell her about girlfriend Angelina Jolie's pregnancy announcement, entertainment TV show "Extra" reported Thursday. [source] Thank you, "Extra." Honestly, I can't believe this was one of the top stories on Yahoo!. Why the fuck would Brad tell…

You're gonna savor my poutine
I watched 11 straight hours of Degrassi today. If I die tomorrow, at least I'll die knowing that Ash likes Neutral Milk Hotel and James TIBERIUS once used a penis pump. The marathon grew awkward when my father joined me for a few episodes; namely,…
Stroke of midnight
I caught a few minutes of "Dick Clark's Rockin' New Year's Eve '06." He was in bad shape, like Kirk Douglas bad. Lou Holtz might as well have hosted, I thought. Moments later, I flipped to Fox and saw Regis Philbin discussing BCS matchups with…Lou…
