Month: September 2006
New England 19, Buffalo 17
My reaction to the latest Bills’ loss is not quite the typical “woe are the Bills/we suck/when will the misery end?” doomsaying that I’ve become far too accustomed to over the last 4-5 seasons of NFL Sundays. On the contrary, I’m utterly indifferent to it, and it’s not an altogether unpleasant feeling.

Cheap Marketing Exposed!
Seeing as we’re mere weeks from the third season premiere of Lost on October 4th, I should probably try and get back in the swing of things with a summer recap. And much to recap, there is, surprisingly. Hinted at in a Jimmy Kimmel Live spot back in May, there’s been a running viral marketing campaign/game on the web, centering around the HansoExposed.com website. A woman by the name of “Rachel” seems to be behind it, with her apparent goal the destruction of the enigmatic industrialist Alvar Hanso and his eponymous foundation.
SoCal 2006
What short, strange trip it was. I shall depend mightily on the use of bullets in this review, as I have neither the time nor the inclination to write six drafts in order to fully expound upon all that I witnessed out West. Bulletsâ„¢: tool of the lazy writer!
- The flight out was alright, if slightly uncomfortable. Foot-wide seats on Southwest, but hey–at least they’re leather, right? Right? I wouldn’t care if the seats were cobbled together from old, burlap sacks if they’d just make them wider, with a bit more legroom than the current “I will be ridiculously uncomfortable for the next six hours unless I’m under 5-foot-3” width.
Happy Labor Day!
I hope this video, courtesy of Bill Simmons, contributes to your enjoyment of the holiday.
Wide Awake
| You can look a hurricane right in the eye 1200 people dead or left to die Follow the leaders Were it an eye for an eye, we’d all be blind Deaf or murdered, of this i’m sure in this uncertain time So come pull the sheet over my eyes Down on the road the world is floating by So come pull the sheet over my eyes Come pull the sheet over my eyes wide awake! wide awake! |
