The Best Show You Aren't Watching Is...

Canadian! That's right, our brethren to the North have been producing one of the more entertaining sit-coms lately. It's CORNER GAS and it's basically about life in a small town in Saskatchewan. The humor is dry, quirky, and a little goofy - so it's right up my alley. :)

Sure, some of the jokes and cameos might be funnier if you're more familiar with things Canadian, but it's still good stuff. It airs in the US on Superstation WGN and you should check it out.

Comic of the Week (well, last week)


Why? Two words - Marcos Martin.

Hey Ho, Let's Go!



I watched END OF THE CENTURY: THE STORY OF THE RAMONES over the weekend. If you have an interest in music, then it's most likely worth watching. If you're a fan of the Ramones (like me!), then it's a must see!

The documentary covers the history of the Ramones from the beginning to their induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. While I knew some basic stuff about the band, the movie tells just about everything, warts and all. Plus lots in insight on the band's influence on music since, if you weren't already aware of it.

You know, there's an informercial for soft rock of the '70's playing on tv as I write this and it just makes me even more grateful for the Ramones and the birth of punk rock. :)

Thanks Joey, Johnny, Dee Dee, and Tommy.

New Home


Welcome to the new home of my blog. Hopefully it'll work a little better and I'll actually update it a little more.

Enjoy!
