I'm also from Illinois. At this particular time I couldn't even tell you who our governor is. I'm pretty sure Quinn won it. Though I have no idea why people would vote for someone who was Blago's lt. governor. I sure wouldn't, party politics completely aside.

JWoww looks more like a tranny than Snooki though.

As a native Chicagoan, I'm always fascinated with Corgan and the Pumpkins. Meeting him twice, in 2002 and 2003, was pretty surreal too (He was signing books at a Borders one year, saw him in concert another, can't remember which). I'm really interested in what Hyden's gonna write about the Pumpkins. I recently dug out…

I've always liked Pearl Jam, even their "lesser" stuff like No Code and Binaural. And yes, Vedder's solo stuff is pretty great. The Into the Wild soundtrack is pretty awesome.

And you know what, it was Jeff Gerstmann, and not Greg Kasavin. Switch out the names and you still get the same story. My bad on that.

I refuse to visit Gamespot after what happened with Greg Kasavin.

Based solely on my experience…
…working for Gamestop as holiday help for like a month (hey it beats being unemployed), this game is a total travesty that is worse than ten Hitlers combined. The fanboy rage from our customers just exudes butthurt. I'm not a Star Wars guy by any means so I couldn't give a shit, but it…

Hey Ghaleon, what happened to 1-up? I've never liked the layout of their website, so I didn't use it much. I pretty much only go to IGN for game reviews now. What would you recommend?

That's the original theatrical ending. AMC did cut some stuff out that appeared in the credits however.

Honestly, you should be pretty fearful of that no matter where you live.

It was stupid, and I don't understand why they didn't let it go. It's a testament to how narcissistic the characters have become that they really cared that much about two dates four years ago. They are married with a kid, for fuck's sake.

When did having a little pubic hair become such a disgusting thing anyway?

Sofia in the leopard print at the beginning really had me going. And then angry Sofia at the end, where she was shouting at everyone, was just fantastic.

My friend's dad always built a wicked haunted house in their basement for us every year. That was some great, great fun.

I'll let you know when I check my Facebook wall tomorrow. Though I'm sure the Gleeks are going to unconditionally love whatever they get.

You know there's a pretty good reason why their ballpark is so corporate, right? Without those corporations there'd be no Pacbell Park or whatever the fuck it's called this year.

You're right that Bartman has suffered enough. It's probably taken years off the poor guy's life. He did what most of us would do in that situation. That's the part people don't want to believe, either.

Lucas Cruikshank
I'm sure he's gonna get a lot of shit in these comments, but I actually thought he came off as mature, intelligent, and thoughtful. Good for him for cashing in on this phenomenon he's created. He seems like a really balanced and nice kid.

Speed of Sound is on constant rotation on my iPod. It's a really great pop/rock song. X&Y overall isn't as good as their other albums though.
