SoI decided to blog the Grammys because I figured it was better to take my frustration out on this blog, and on all of you, than to keep it inside. In short, I wanted to smack at least half of the attendees/performers. Let’s roll, kids!
So first up is Bono, or as he’s known to…uh…himself…God. I [...]
So today my chances of being made into an honest woman just decreased quite a bit. I’ve just learned that Keen Eddie got married to some broad who isn’t me. Oh, you don’t know who Keen Eddie is? Who are you, the greater portion of the population?
Keen Eddie was a fantastic, smart, fast-paced gem of [...]
I’ve jumped on (and usually off) many of the social networking bandwagons. From Dave Novak’s BBS to Freindster, to Facebook, to Myspace, to Yelp, most seem necessary, then addictive, then annoying, then over.That or they fry the motherboard on the Intel 386 that’s hosting the site.
So last week I went to my regular hairdresser to find some new dude cuttin’ tresses. There was something off about this guy, so naturally I agreed to let him cut my hair (truth be told, it was late, and I was starting to look less Shibow, more shaggy dog). Now I’m not high-maintenance, but [...]
On my way back to Brooklyn from an appointment in the suburbs I had my radio a-scanning, fruitlessly seeking some interesting non-played out music. After stopping on some songs I’d rather not admit to stopping on it (if he liked it, he shoulda put a ring on it), I finally came across a holiday song [...]
Why has no one made that joke yet? New York Post, I’m disappointed in you.
So in case you haven’t heard, star receiver Plaxico Burress—who caught the pass that made the New York Giants Super Bowl Champions last February—shot himself in the thigh (ok, the thigh, but still), thereby probably ending his season and possibly [...]
Last week in the midst of my web wanderings, I was inspired by an old advertisement that I read. Yes, I was inspired by an advertisement. Actually, anyone who knows me at all should not be surprised that I, paragon of character depth that I am, would be inspired by an advertisement. I’ve also been [...]
As long as there has been ocean-based trade, there have been pirates, scoundrels of the sea who take what they want, be it women, treasure or boats. Like many other legitimate scourges of the past, they’ve been romanticised and Disne-fied to the point we kind of think they were just jolly, funloving, misunderstood types.
Recently, we’ve [...]
As AAVR Magazine has grown, we’ve been enjoying traffic from all over the world. Recently, we’ve noticed that that we’ve been receiving visitors from Chinese search engine Baidu. We hope that our discourse is okay by the government of the People’s Republic of China, and if it isn’t, contact us. We’ll gladly fall in line [...]
I guess sometimes, it’s about being in the right place at the right time. Now, I am certain that Joe Wurzelbacher (you might know him by his nom de plume, Joe The Plumber) is a driven, god-fearing, decent guy. Seriously. I’m not going to demonize him. But, he is one lucky son of a gun. [...]
