Just finished rereading David Wong's John Dies At The End (after tearing through the new sequel This Book Is Full Of Spiders in a weekend) and Paul Neilan's Apathy And Other Small Victories. Now I'm back to reading new (to me) stuff, starting with John Scalzi's Redshirts: A Novel With Three Codas, Mira Grant's Feed,…

Robert C. O'Brien's "Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of Nimh." I read it because I loved the movie, and the book was so much better.

"The Greatest Song I Ever Heard," by OK Go. They namedrop Cat Power, Bob Dylan, Pete Seeger, and some other artists.

I see your Eddie Murphy Sideways Career, and I raise you one Cuba Gooding Jr.

Someone should make a movie about snakes on a plane and call it The Negotiator.

5 is the lest of the seaons for 2 main reasons, as far as I can tell:

I'm in the process of rewatching the series, and I'm on S2 right now. It's much better than I remember it being.

"Killer Klowns from Outer Space" by The Dickies. Classic.
