Whew, been awhile. Life and all that. Not too long ago I heard N'Gai Croal, formerly of Newsweek, speak of the Murtaugh List. Basically, shit you have gotten too old for. Being the fan of introspection that I am, I decided to make my own. No particular order. 1. I am too old to argue over meaningless things. Kris Straub mentioned not too long ago that he used to be a real pisser on web boards, in public even. Maybe it is a trait of youth to try and prove you are right over everything. I have gotten better about not getting suckered in to meaningless debate on meaningless things. If someone thinks the video card I recommend is pants, let them. I refuse to get dragged in to who can google search the best. That goes double for other matters. Earlier in the week my younger brother tried to get into an argument over socks. Mainly some socks that I found to be too big for my feet, probably perfect for his size 13's. Ankle athletic socks should not come to the calf, in my belief.

The idea for taxing things like iTunes downloads, purchases on Amazon.com, etc. keep surfacing. Sadly it would seem that these taxes, like all fees levied upon the citizens, comes in the form of the over-spending money grab. For good or ill, taxation of online sales was inevitable. I am, personally, surprised that it has taken this long for serious prospects into these taxes to come forth. Short shortsightedly yeah it sucks, but it is entirely necessary for the following reasons: Online retailers have driven traditional, tax paying, franchises completely out of business; those terrestrial businesses remaining cost the tax payer billions each year in subsidies and loopholes; the money has got to come from somewhere.

Jerimiah One watching a new show, the other ripping apart a new love. The Oscar bets are in, those will be posted a little later. And people can play along at home. At least one person played a new game, FEAR 2 seems to deliver. Also, I say don't bother with Dollhouse, maybe some more robust discussion later. But I felt it was tripe. Direct Download Podcast

Generally speaking, when your most recognizable person in a cast is from A Different World(Jasmine Guy) your show is off to a rocky start. Personally speaking, I don't care much for star power. Dead like Me embodies everything I would expect from premium cable television, and often is lacking. It is not just inserting tits and fuck to make sure people know this is on HBO(Or Showtime). It is the brainchild of Brian Fuller and do not let his Heroes credits sway you, they guy also created Pushing Daisies.
