A message for the King..

Hey Purv, I have noticed that you have very good taste in electronic music. Some of the background music in your home-made videos has been wonderful. Can you make a recommendation to a noob such as myself? Any recommendation will do, as your tastes in this particular style of music seem to [...]

PETA: People for the Ethical Treatment of Actors

Peta has a new ad campaign that differs sharply from the throwing paint on fur days of yore. Now its all about sex, sexiness, a little skin and second rate actors. Their newest ad features Alicia Silverstone nude as a jay-bird telling me how wonderful being a vegetarian is. There aint much [...]

If all the worlds a stage, then send in the clowns!

The President of Iran spoke at Columbia University yesterday, Ahmadinejad is also speaking at the UN today. This guy sponsors terrorists, is developing nukes, killing our soldiers in Iraq by funneling sophisticated weapons to the terrorists in Iraq. He denies the holocaust, wants Israel erased, relegates women to the role of baby making [...]

And the updates keep on coming..

I have an interview tomorrow. College bookstore. Unless there is some piece to the puzzle I am not seeing they probably won’t be able to pay me enough, but getting the first interview out of the way and brushing the rust off is always good. Phone interview Tuesday with another company, probably [...]

‘Let’s get Political, piolitcal. I wanna get Politicaaaaal. Let me hear your bias talk, your bias talk..’

Please sing the above title to ‘Let’s Get physical’. Please do it at your desk, preferably in front of other people, and offer no explanation.

I want to do my part to counter some of the overt bias in the media. This is important, it should be more important to many out there, but [...]

3:10 to Yuma, no spoilers, I swear.

I just saw 3:10 to Yuma. A very good movie. Many reviewers have been comparing it to Unforgiven, but I think that is an inaccurate and overly simple comparison. I wanted to like Unforgiven, but it lacked heart on almost every level. Heart showed up in little places here and there, [...]

A pick-me-up

The wife called from afar (she’s in Connecticut) after having read my blog and suggested I go do something fun, like go to the movies. I think I will take her up on that offer. She has been very supportive of my situation despite being 1000’s of miles away and knee deep in [...]

It’s official: TV can kill you, or at least lead you to seek your own demise.

Sitting here applying for jobs, I have the TV on in the background. Music is personal for me, I don’t like it as background noise. TV however is perfect. It is dumb, repetitive, and easy to tone out. Or so I thought. After sitting at the computer for roughly 50 [...]

7 days and counting, another update

well, it has been 7 days since I lost my job. What’s going on you ask? Well, let me tell you. As I have previously stated I have updated the resume, updated the cover letter. I have also logged on to 50+ job sites. That’s no exaggeration, we dipped into [...]

A voice has been silenced

Luciano Pavarotti has died. The man responsible for bringing opera back to life for my generation, the man who made you make a choice; do you like it? Or don’t you? The man who made opera relevant in some small way for the 80’s, the 90’s (remember the 3 Tenors?) and beyond. [...]
