Another return to form, as I focus on another target of obsession. (Forgive the video heavy post, but she is even better in action)I can't believe it has taken me this long to put her up on here. I mean come on!Ms. Brewster is a very talented actress who gained the unfortunate label of a show-killer (which she currently disproving on Criminal Minds). It saddened me really, since I absolutely

G4's Attack Of The Show recently broadcast their 1000th episode, and ended it with, maybe not a bang, but a considerable shock, thanks to guest Alan Thicke. Video Game - E3 2009 - Attack of the ShowI don't know what is funnier: the actual kiss (and Olivia's eager reaction to it), the fact that Thicke was the only one on key during the entire song, or the ridiculous comments on the video's

The heirs of Jerome Siegel and Joe Shuster (the creators of Superman) filed a suit against both Warner Bros and DC Comics, seeking compensation for the use of the character. According to Variety:In a decision announced Wednesday, U.S. Judge District Court Judge Stephen G. Larson found that the license fees the studio paid to corporate sibling DC Comics didn't represent "sweetheart" deals as they

Sorry, I have got to get something off my chest.As many of you know, yesterday has been one hell of a day. Stuff went down on a global scale that isn't going to be forgotten for a long ass time. Stuff that should be connecting people on some level. And yet all I see are people finding another excuse to be assholes to each other.I had this whole diatribe I was going to whip out, blasting everyone,

Note: the following is a short essay I wrote for a scholarship application. More than likely I won't get it, but considering that I wrote it in under 15 minutes from conception to final draft, I just felt like sharing it with you.The question was: What are you passionate about?If you had asked me five minutes ago what I was passionate about, all you would get as a response is a blank stare.

Damn it all to hell.I tried to avoid the expressway because of traffic. Time I get off the exit, I manage to hit a speed trap.I know I have to show up for court in about a month. Any tips from those of you that have gone through this before?P.S. Also saw Terminator: Salvation. Wasn't that bad. I also paid to see Star Trek again, even though I could have snuck in free.

Wooph! Been a while, hasn't it? Ugh, so much crap piled up on me, and I simply couldn't find the time to update. But that won't be a problem for long.I am bringing back the Receptacle. But not just that; I am updating it. Upgrading it. Making it better. Stronger. Faster.I will be finishing the long-promised deeper blog posts, as well as bringing back old faves (Hotties!) and introducing new

I mentioned here before that I was trying to sell a crapload of my stuff, trying to get a few extra bucks before dumping it all on my local thrift store for tax credit.Since a few folks have asked, and since there is no better marketplace than then internet, I am linking to my Half.com listings so you can peruse away.Think of it as a fundraiser to keep me in the geekiness you know and love.

Inspired by brother blogger (and most famous person I know) Chez Pazienza, I decided to pop the ol' Receptacle into Google's Image Search to see what kind of shenanigans came up.Thinking back on it, I am somewhat surprised, really. I thought I was much more substantive.Oh well, back to ogling.

Craig Ferguson got married! AGAIN!!!!!!Here is the surprise announcement, as only Craig can do it:Craig goes into a bit more detail after the title sequence: One of the myriad things I love about Craig is how he welcomes his audience into his personal life, good and bad. He is near-brutal in his honesty (such as when he revealed that his mother passed in early December '08), and it just makes

Thank you for all your support and and everything. It was supremely appreciated and I will never forget it.But I have spent too much time and energy on this thing, and my latest video setback has only reaffirmed the obvious: this is simply not going to work. This whole tape process is based on my weakest personal trait - my inability to talk about myself, positively or not. After so long keeping

I just got a call today. Guess who from? The BATG people!Guess what they wanted?ANOTHER GODDAMN TAPE.You just had to pester me about the damn video, didn't you? Then I felt all guilty, and in order to punish me, Godtopus had the nice casting lady call me and ask me to be more excited and dynamic.That, or that quickie tape blew chunks.Point is, another one must be made. I simply don't think I can

In it, the author as the question that has plagued many a man looking for love: why do women always say they want "thugs"?Who'd you rather?It is a very good question, addressing an increasingly common remark that I have heard personally.The article (and subsequent comments) suggests that this preference stems from a desire for

(Thanks go to Popoholic)As you may know, I am a sometime follower of G4's Attack of the Show. Okay, let's be honest: I, like many folks, am completely in love with Olivia Munn. There, I said it. I try not to be, due to her supposed relationship status. I try not to imagine lovely Sunday brunches with her, followed by a few hours at the comics store and ending in a writing mass of hot monkey
