What got me scared of garbage disposals was an episode of Amazing Stories.

Maximum Overdrive instilled a fear of watching anything directed by Stephen King.

My mother-in-law insists that we make an Amazon wish list for when holidays come around, but then seems to forget the wish list exists when it comes time for gift-giving. So, instead of books, minor electronics, or other things that I would enjoy… I get shirts from K-mart. Or a "nice" pen. (I'm utilitarian when it…

I was gifted Pride & Prejudice & Zombies for either my birthday or father's day - I can't remember. My mother-in-law got it for me because of my enthusiasm for World War Z (the book). I got about 20 pages or so into it before finally giving up on the book as worthless.

Never was a great fan of Jefferson Airplane. But I always felt the sliver of a performance we see from them at Altamont in Gimme Shelter hinted that they must have had a pretty good live show.

And Paul Kantner certainly had some balls calling out the Hell's Angels like he did (yeah, even though there were cameras…

Tried out a recipe for "no-knead" bread baked in a dutch oven. Ended up with a delicious loaf of bread that rivals the fancy-pants artisan stuff at the local supermarket. The only thing that will keep us from making it all the time is that it requires at least 12 hours to rest the dough.

"Dang it, Peggy. That boy ain't right."

I didn't watch a single episode this season. However, I might have if I had known they were doing a cross-over with Community, based on the header image.

The Damned - "Jetboy Jetgirl"

Pulp - "Common People". It's so obvious.

I think it's nice they used a different song than "Ace of Spades".

I can't listen to Aaron Paul narrating anything without thinking of those stupid-ass car commercials he did. But I understand he's good in Breaking Bad, which I still haven't seen (I know, I'll get to it - this time I mean it!).

Yeah, you're going to hell for TWO reasons!

My dad was a Deadhead and before I was old enough for him to feel comfortable taking me along to shows, he got me a shirt - it was black with a spiral pattern of dancing skeletons. I was in 7th or 8th grade and was called into the principal's office. The only thing I…

For me, it's the "Technically I'm hoooomelessssss" capper. Every time.

Wait a minute, my mom is 24 years older than me and we haven't ever been in a movie either. Are you… me?

"Oliver's Army" - Elvis Costello

Yeah, but it's not punk to be respectful, right? Or maybe it is. I forget, it seems like there's all sorts of rules about what's "punk" and what's not.
Also, I guess I should've watched the reel (I would've learned something) - and I really need to watch Tapeheads - it's been recommended to me by numerous people.

My brothers and I still argue over whether it is pronounced "Bee-ah-fra" or "By-a-fra". I always argue the latter, because that's how Warren Zevon pronounces it in "Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner."

Werner Herzog? I didn't realize you had a Disqus account.

Oh man, I really want to see it. The closest place to me that is doing the 70mm is Sacramento - about 2 hours away on a normal day (but with snow on Donner Pass, probably closer to 3 hours). Hopefully it will be playing there for a while - I might be able to make it next weekend if I can find some friends that want to…
