it really sucks when kids you taught and liked grew up to be arrogant, close-minded, unoriginal dicks.

“I met a traveler from an antique land Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed; And on...
so i figured ‘itunes gift certificate, i shall explore.’ so i gave the national another shot. i very much enjoyed ‘alligator,’ so decided to get ‘boxer.’ the album’s great, and i’m just ignoring how much the lead singer sounds like ian curtis, and trying to listen to the album on it’s own merits. the lead singer’s resemblance to the...
finally saw ‘brief interviews with hideous men.’ absolutely fantastic.

Letters To Santa Written By Shakespeare Characters...
Dear Santa:
How does my lord? I am fine. I believe ‘tis possible you did not receive my wish list last year, or that it fell into unsavory hands and was rudely tampered with before reaching you, as all you brought me was a chastity belt and some granny underpants. I pray that this one flies to you untainted since this year hath really sucked. I wish for the following:

angels in america
so i finally got around to watching “angels in america,” which many have fawned over in the last decade. i’ve never seen the play itself, so my thoughts are restricted to the miniseries.
so here’s the thing… for most of it, the miniseries sucked. every time al pacino was on the screen, i was either bored to death or completely uninvolved. that said, i felt that...
Listen
Watch
i love this song so very very much.
i’d get fired within the hour of doing so, but i’d really like to show students the movie “kids.”

they don't make 'em like they used to
so i just finished watching “willow” and “the neverending story” back to back. it had been several years since i’d seen “willow” last, and easily twenty years since i’d seen “the neverending story.” the cool thing was that they both held up very well, but the remarkable thing was how incredibly dark both films are.
i’d often...
just finished watching a bootleg of a show matt nathanson played in chicago last year. i haven’t had the fortune of seeing him live since a was a sophomore in college and he was touring with dar williams, but i’ve always a fan of his, and was really impressed with how far he’s come as a performer. his most recent album, ‘07’s ‘some mad hope’ is, in my...

dollhouse has been cancelled. balls.
at least fox is going to air all 13 eps of season two, rather than pulling a firefly.
i just saw a jeans commercial using a walt whitman poem. i officially give up.

“Dear Sirs/Ma’ams,
I am Joss Whedon, the mastermind behind Titan A.E., Parenthood (not the movie) (or the new series) (or the one where ‘hood’ was capitalized ‘cause it was a pun), and myriad other legendary tales. I have heard through the ‘grapevine’ that the Terminator franchise is for sale, and I am prepared to make a pre-emptive bid RIGHT NOW to wrap...
just finished watching “the invention of lying.” was utterly awesome. gervais was always the master of balancing the uncomfortable with humor in “the office,” a feat that has never been remotely matched by the american office or the overrated garbage of “curb your enthusiam.” but this film is much closer to “extras,” in that gervais has managed to...
