Snow in New York is really beautiful for about a day. No matter how it falls–whether from a small storm or a huge blizzard–it coats everything with a layer of fluffy pure white. It’s nearly impossible for me to describe. In the coming days it gets shoved to the side. People walk on it. Cars… Read More typoattack’s photos of the week: bomb cyclone aftermath
Hey there. Jorfimus Prime here. Remember me? I know, it’s been a while. Think back to September. Yeah, the guy who wrote that. That’s me. Happy New Year! Our resolution for 2018 is to poist more. It might happen. It might not. Bet that’s the excitement of a new year, isn’t it? All of the… Read More Second Chances, Revisited
Hello everyone, and Happy New Year. It’s been a while. I know a lot of you are disappointed over the complete lack of content the past half year or so, and on behalf of Jorfimus Prime and myself I’d like to apologize. School is a very hectic thing and we simply haven’t had the time… Read More typoattack’s photos of the week: then and now (frozen)
School is… well, let’s just leave it there. School is. You go through twelve years of mandatory education, a lot of which isn’t terribly applicable to the rest of your life (I totally use the quadratic equation every single day). And with Common Core and standardized testing… well, I’m not going to delve into that issue beyond saying… Read More Second Chances
So summer doesn’t technically end for another couple of weeks, but realistically it is over. Typoattack and I have started school, as have many other college students, and any students who haven’t started yet soon will. In honor of the end of summer I thought it was appropriate to present one of the most well-known summer… Read More Song of the Week: “Summer of ’69” (Bryan Adams)
Please welcome Lorfimus Prime back as he tributes the late Jerry Lewis. Thirty-five years ago I waited in a line that snaked around the B. Dalton bookstore at 666 Fifth Avenue in New York City to have Jerry Lewis sign my copy of his just released autobiography Jerry Lewis In Person. It was a thrill… Read More Hey Laaaaaaaddddyyy!!! Saying Goodbye to Comedy Legend Jerry Lewis
I didn’t have any ideas this week, but Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is coming out on DVD/Blu-ray on Tuesday so I thought I’d turn to Starlord and the crew again for inspiration. For reference, I’ve already used songs from the soundtracks of both films here, here, and here. Fleetwood Mac is an interesting band for… Read More Song of the Week: “The Chain” (Fleetwood Mac)
Wednesday will mark forty years since Elvis Presley’s death, so this week I thought it would be appropriate to honor him. I wish I could tell you that I have some deep connection with this song describe how it’s an influential masterpiece, or something like that. But there’s really only one reason that I love… Read More Song of the Week: “(You’re The) Devil in Disguise” (Elvis Presley)
So this is about a month late, but you know, there were other songs that had to be posted. So now that I have a chance I’ll show off one of the tracks from Stone Sour’s Hydrograd. A while back I posted “Duality” by Slipknot, and even earlier than that, “The Devil in I.” So if… Read More Song of the Week: “St. Marie” (Stone Sour)
Well, last Tuesday I turned twenty-four, and people will finally like me again. So I thought I’d be selfish and use this week’s song to celebrate. Note: This post was intended to go live last week, but was moved for obvious reasons. Which works out for the best, since my mother’s birthday is this week… Read More Song of the Week: “Surprise, Surprise” (Bruce Springsteen)
