and so you'd better do what you are told; you better listen to the radio

But I’ll try a pretty wide range of genres. Television series available on DVD. I don’t need cable now that I have [...]
all I care about is love
I could move to Chicago very easily. Apparently, Internet Inc. will move experienced people out there with very little argument.

He seems like he’s inches away from tossing a “fuckin’” in after every other word, but he never does. Patrick Stewart, decked out in doublet and pantaloons like Hamlet, [...]
if I ruled the world, I'd free all my sons
This media blow breaks in over all TV channels to broadcast its demands: Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog: I would have reviewed this sooner, but I couldn’t watch it for more than 5 minutes without getting bored and doing something else. None of the people involved can sing very well, Fillion perhaps worst of all. Whedon, [...]
