Don’t Pimp My Ride

I just caught up with the last two episodes of Pimp My Ride. As usual they were very entertaining, but I always come away with the same thought: “Why in the world would people put so much money into worthless cars?” The only possible exception to this was the ’67 Mustang.

What’s on My TiVo

Here’s what’s in my TiVo’s Season Pass Manager. They’re not necessarily in order from most favorite to least favorite.

Kung Faux

My TiVo just found a new show from Tommy Boy Films called Kung Faux. (What would I do without my TiVo working so hard for me?) It’s a series of Kung Fu films over-dubbed with the voices of hip-hop artists and a soundtrack to match. The episode I just watched was voiced by Guru, Jean… Continue reading Kung Faux

Making the Band II

HardCore over at Thought 4 the Day wrote a great review of Making the Band II. This pretty much sums it up for me (except for the ‘terrible’ part): However, if you have ANY knowledge about the music industry, if you’ve ever been a performer, or worked in the industry, THIS SHOW IS A JOKE.… Continue reading Making the Band II
