Well, I Called It

• Tuesday, June 14th, 2005 • No Comments

May I direct you to a post made two days ago where I conjecture that the recent string of earthquakes magnitude ~4 and above in a short period of time could possibly signal the arrival of more, and larger, earthquakes.


Dog Rapist? WTF?

• Tuesday, June 14th, 2005 • 1 Comment

A Campobello teen (17 years old) is accused of raping one neighbor’s dog and another neighbor’s two little girls. Now the dog has died and charges against the teen have been upgraded.


Primer

• Monday, June 13th, 2005 • No Comments

This will be the first time, and probably not the last, that I’ve watched a movie and then wished I could go back in time and prevent myself from watching it. Why? The sheer amount of ideas and confusing paranoid emotions in Primer are enough to make my head, and my chest, ache. I sit [...]


Earthquakey

• Monday, June 13th, 2005 • No Comments

Hmm, lots of Earthquakes in California recently. I slept through the latest one centered in Anza, but the one located around El Cajon in April managed to shake me awake and had me freaking the fuck out.

Psychological Punches

• Sunday, June 12th, 2005 • 1 Comment

Notes on the New Design

• Sunday, June 12th, 2005 • No Comments

So here it is, a hopefully non-ugly and much more functional version of the last design. As you can see, the individual category recent posts boxes and recent posts column have been relatively combined. Also, comments are enabled and working. There is no about page, and the contact page will probably never get made.


9 Songs

• Saturday, June 11th, 2005 • No Comments

I hate to get all psycho-analytical on a film that I actually didn’t think was very good, but honestly the fact is that 9 Songs is probably the best sexually explicit “mainstream” movie ever made, and will probably be the only one. 9 Songs actually uses full exposure sex to accurately portray a relationship.


Jealousy

• Saturday, June 11th, 2005 • 2 Comments

I’m jealous, that’s what it is. Maybe. I feel the uncontrolable urge to smash in someone’s face, and I can’t really decide whose it is. In the fear of getting into specifics, I wont even go into the various reasons I would smash either of their faces, but none the less, one of their faces, [...]
