American Pickers
Really? These guys drive me crazy. The phony dialog and their grating personalities set my teeth on edge. I thought this would be a neat show, but I have to turn it off regardless of what cool stuff might surface.

Uh …
I have no idea what this has to do with the Tim Powers story.

I JUST got this in from Netflix. Come on - Vikings, spacemen, and Ron-fucking-Perlman? How can this possibly not be good?

No.
Muppets + Miraculously Risen Jim Henson = Awesome.

They saw an iron road running from the sea to the sea.

It's a wicked wind, and it chills me to the bone.

One less imagination
I'm surprised how sad I am at this news.

Love 'The Wind.' 'Keep Me In Your Heart' hurts every time.

WHYYYYYY
You're breaking my heart, Duane.

No Jeep Love?
Old Jeeps, that is. I don't count the $26.000 TJs parked in front of college dorms (Yeah, I was a commuter in a shitbox car with no heat. Yeah, I'm still bitter). These commercials are irritating; I especially like the one where an actual vehicle is never shown. (Is it this one? Satellite keeps…

We obsessively taped songs from the radio and deciphered lyrics. We looked them up in every rock reference…

For the love of the goddamn Batman … I hope not.

Hm.
THIS won't end in tears.

Oh lord, 'Mansquito.' You want to make a bad made-for-SciFi worse, drink nine pints of Guinness and 2 Jameson at a St. Pat's parade and the fall asleep on the couch to this. Surreal.

I'm so happy …
… to have a Triad episode.

We went to Pan's Labyrinth for my friend's birthday, and have sworn a pact since that we never saw it. It's a beautiful, terrible, wonderful film, and I haven't experienced one since that evoked the same dumbstruck silence the three of us shared in the theater as credits rolled.
