If you haven’t watched Lost lately, you’ve missed a couple crazy episodes. The last two weeks of Lost have probably seen more happen than in the entire rest of the season combined. And if you happened to speed through last night’s episode on your Tivo or DVR, you might have missed the commercial toward the […]

Last night Jen and I watched with intrique the Oprah show. You know all those Saturday Night Live skits with the screaming and jumping women in the Oprah audience? It’s all true, as Oprah herself pointed out. The only reason we watched is because Jon Stewart was the guest (followed by Cameron Diaz). He was […]

Imagine Mini Me naked, drunk, and pissing from his transport chair in a corner of a psychedelically-colored room. Picture him drooling over the naked, sushi-covered body of “America’s Next Top Model” Adrianne Curry and slyly sneaking in a rub of her leaf-covered nipple while Peter Brady looks on.

I’ve been watching a lot of TV lately, and honing in on my favorites is never an easy task. My Time Warner DVR, though it pales in comparison to a Tivo box, from what I hear (mine doesn’t always work quite right and its usability leaves a lot to be desired), is good enough to […]

DirecTV vs. Digital Cable
Wednesday, February 25th, 2004 · 3 Comments
I’ve long been a fan of DirecTV and have clocked about two-plus years with the service when i’ve been able to get it (Treasure Island and Inner Sunset). The picture quality is consistently better than digital cable, it’s cheaper (no taxes), and there’s no onscreen menu advertising as there often is with digital cable providers […]

If you missed the first two titillating episodes of The Simple Life on Fox, allow me to share with you a quick recap, starting with a quote from a review that best sums up the entire show: “Shouldn’t you have access to great education if you’re rich?” –Chronicle review of The Simple Life “What are […]
