there are just…no words

I heard about this and promptly forgot that the big news of the day was the inauguration of our 44th president.
Next you’re going to tell me that the fifth season of Lost premieres tomorrow at long last…
Oh wait…
Confirmed: a Veronica Mars MOVIE!
At the tail end of this winter’s television critics event, Rob Thomas, who has [...]

thank you, president bush

I’ve been at a loss as to what to post, if anything, today. I’ve grown weary of politics over the past few months and beyond staying up-to-date on current events, I’ve pretty much avoided them altogether. I’m tired of the pettiness, sarcasm and meanness that seem to be inherent on both sides of the aisle.

I mean, c’mon. I don’t need to see the leaked [...]

best of ‘08

Everyone’s doing their “Best of 2008″ lists, so I thought I’d put together one, too. One thing to remember, though — columnists like Michael Ausiello and Kristin Dos Santos get paid to watch as much TV as possible. (Seriously, Dream. Job.) So their lists are obviously going to be way more informed and inclusive than [...]
