Chris Cornell - All Night Thing From some recent-ish acoustic show he did on the radio.

Yeah, I mean he's in college now! I remember these friends of mine, well, you know, I never even thought about apples like that! I mean, I would eat them in pies or applesauce, and I could often be seen just walking down the street with one - but what they did was a perversion of nature!

I can't say anything about FO1, because I haven't played it. Going backwards through the "great" RPGs from KOTOR as I was, I thought I'd play the sequel first because the dated graphics wouldn't be quite as much of a shock. You know, because they wouldn't be quite as dated. For reference, I played FO2 about two years ago, while waiting for KOTOR 2 to come out.

Although MVP Baseball 05 is very, very good, I have to say the best sports game I've played is either Virtua Tennis for the DC or NCAA Football 2003. I played about eight years of a dynasty with NCAA football in a period of two years in the dorms with three other guys. It was about the most fun I've had in with a multiplayer game. We'd have draft parties and everything. But back on-topic, I played a bit of Fallout 2 and was bored to tears. I'm talking "Morrowind"-bored. Honestly, it was one of the most boring things I've ever done. And I'm sure it gets better than killing radscorpions in that first dungeon. In fact, I also killed radscorpions in various other places throughout the game. And before you blast me, know that I have played slow-burn games before. But the difference between something like Irenicus' Dungeon and that intro to Fallout is that with BG2, the story has already kicked in. You're already off and running. Anyway, I played for hours with just Zulu or whoever for company, and then I'd get people to join who didn't even have a character portrait, much less a richly-developed background. Okay, so you're a bartender. You want to come with me and shoot things. All right, but shouldn't there be more? Maybe there was. Maybe I just missed it, it's definitely possible, because by that point I really didn't care anymore. So anyway, there's my two cents. Maybe I just lack the patience to appreciate SPECIAL, but I just don't believe the hype when it comes to Fallout. Flame on, brothers. :D

The Who - The Good's Gone

I was eating wings and ribs with some friends on this fine Saturday evening, when a kicking set of KISS covers was provided by Cleveland's own Mr. Speed. Those guys were right on, down to the costumes. On the way home I listened to a live broadcast of a free Matt Pond PA show from a local university. I think the biggest band that played a free gig when I was in college was O.A.R., and they were from Ohio anyway, so I don't think they count. So that Matt Pond PA band is pretty cool. But now, I'm listening to... Blue Rodeo - Rain Down on Me

Have you considered a vacation in Sweden? The opening titles, right. But I could have sworn my old VHS copy used the verb "sacked." Maybe I'm craaaaaaazy. Probably.

Yeah! The Who - Daddy Rolling Stone

Yeah, cinematic gameplay - that stuff sucks!

I thought it was customary to "sack" those responsible for such things.

Yeah, I got the "big" Eels CD, Beautiful Freak, from the library. So far I like it. They actually have like six Eels albums at the library. Go figure. Anyway, I just got back from a party thrown by a friend of mine. And just when I had gone a few days without listening to any Afghan Whigs or Twilight Singers, he played exclusively that stuff at this party. When I fall back into that stuff, I fall back hard. He and his g/f went to the show with me back in May and some other random dude who was in attendance was rocking out pretty hard too. He had a Lollapalooza '92 shirt, so he was cool in my book as soon as I saw him, haha. :cool: Anyway, The Afghan Whigs - Bulletproof

How'd this get relegated to page 2? Well, I can fix that. Eels - Susan's House

Today's gonna be great, because it's Friday! That's reason enough right there. My rec league softball team got reamed last night, something like 15-2, but all that running around did wonders for my cold. Of course, the stuffy nose and sinus headache came roaring back once I'd cooled down, but then it was generic NyQuil and a good night's sleep. I've been forcing myself to get the recommended amount of sleep to fight off this sickness, and it really makes a difference. I feel great and all I did was sleep an extra few hours! I should "go for 8" on a regular basis. Imagine how I could feel if I wasn't sick and I got that much sleep! (w00t) I could stop drinking coffee all morning! ... Well maybe I shouldn't get carried away...

Here's some interesting commentary about the passage itself: http://commentisfree.guardian.co.uk/stephe...9/post_390.html

Cake - Frank Sinatra

Ohhhhh.... Right now my top three are Innuendo Eyebrows, Burnsauce and Kitty. Although I'm sure we would see a lot of Beating a Dead Horse around here as well.

What exactly is going on in LadyCrimson's number 2 smiley? It looks like someone is on a particularly bumpy sled ride. That said, this would be a tough vote right now ... plus I'm sure even more clever emoticons will be entering the race.

Richard Hell and the Voidoids - Blank Generation I was sayin let me out of here before I was even born--it's such a gamble when you get a face It's fascinatin to observe what the mirror does but when I dine it's for the wall that I set a place I belong to the blank generation and I can take it or leave it each time I belong to the ______ generation but I can take it or leave it each time

It really was! I mean, who would have thought most of those actors had surprisingly decent voices? We knew Anthony Stewart Head could sing from his previous coffeeshop outings, but the others did well too. The songs were catchy and the writing was clever; they filmed it in the style of a musical. All in all, you could tell they spent a lot of time on it. to Joss Whedon and the cast for that one!

Fight Club was an excellent movie. I watched it a lot my freshman year of college. Never saw 12 Monkeys though. I have read a few other Palahnuik books and enjoyed them, most notably "Survivor." I've been working my way through season six of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I just watched the musical episode, and you can color me impressed!

How bout a job in walking distance, Feng? And hooray for Mus finding camaraderie at college. Now I'm getting all nostalgic...

You're gonna watch what you say for a long time... Toots & the Maytals - Pressure Drop

I saw that on Google News a bit ago... school shootings, here we go again. Anyway, the cold's getting worse, but I'm putting a dent in my workload, so I guess my day is improving..
