Macrolog: February 2002
Major Labels Are Killing Music Thu 28 Feb 2002
This is a complete joke, and a lie. (c/o Mat) Why won't the so-called record industry just admit that its purely a business and doesn't give a flying fuck...
Gastrointestinal Fortitude Thu 28 Feb 2002
Do you have the gastrointestinal fortitude of this man? I know I don't....
Panda Vs. Wrestler Wed 27 Feb 2002
Regarding this situation, in my view The World Wrestling Federation was correct in its arguments - there is no mistaking a professional wrestling promotion for an animal welfare charity....
RIP Spike Milligan Wed 27 Feb 2002
Spike Milligan has passed away. Here's hoping he's gone to a much better place....
Bloggers are the Minutemen Tue 26 Feb 2002

In Pleasant Company Tue 26 Feb 2002
I really love this Shipping News album, Very Soon, And In Pleasant Company. Somebody at HMV ordered in a pocketful (that's six copies, for you outsiders) last summer. They...
There's Always a Reason Tue 26 Feb 2002
Regarding this situation: instead of asking how, shouldn't we be asking why? A reactionary attitude never solves anything. People don't abuse themselves just because they can - there's always...
Martin Sheen for President Tue 26 Feb 2002
The creator of The West Wing tells it like it is. Martin Sheen for President, anyone?...
Ten Million Posts Tue 26 Feb 2002
This is the 10 millionth post to a Blogger-powered website. It's actually quite funny too. This post is probably quite redundant, since everyone and their mother is gonna link...
My Degree Might Actually Prove Useful Mon 25 Feb 2002
Now this is interesting. I knew that information studies and philosophy would compliment each other. My degree might actually prove useful....
Canada Wins! Sun 24 Feb 2002

Scott Hall Interview Sun 24 Feb 2002
Just read an excellent, and quite frank, interview with Scott Hall. I don't think Shane Douglas will be popping round to shake his hand anytime soon, but the man...
That's All, Folks Sat 23 Feb 2002
Chuck Jones has died, aged 89....
Wibbly Wobbly Wonder Fri 22 Feb 2002

Friday Five #6 Fri 22 Feb 2002
http://fridayfive.org/ 1. Hey, baby, what's your sign? Do you think it fits you pretty well? I'm a Gemini. I think I fit the sign very well, rather than the...
Nadir Thu 21 Feb 2002
I got the new Abaddon Incarnate album today. I remember talking with Olan about it before they headed over to Sweden to record - must have been last June...
Last Call Wed 20 Feb 2002
Hall not being very reliable? We should all know whose fault that is. When Scott Hall toured with New Japan last year, alone, he was on his best behaviour....
Kevin Nash Interview Wed 20 Feb 2002
The WWF website has an interview with Kevin Nash. It's quite funny really, coming from a person who didn't bother his arse to turn up for work on WCW's...
Alma Mater Wed 20 Feb 2002
I've just sent an e-mail to my alma mater, just to say hello. Maybe some of the people who taught me there are still around. I know one of...
Futurama Not As Good As Everyone Thinks Shocker Tue 19 Feb 2002
Talk about over-reacting. It appears that the Fox Network has decided not to commission further series of Futurama. To be honest I can't really blame them as, with all...
Blogsitting Today Mon 18 Feb 2002
I'm blogging at Mat Honan's site today. Go there. It's great....
So Many Colours Sun 17 Feb 2002
I read about these (c/o NextDraft) earlier this week. First they had green ketchup, now they've got blue chips. I seriously doubt that any of these products will be...
Headache Sun 17 Feb 2002
No, I didn't post anything yesterday, because I had a prolonged, dull headache from my arrival home from town yesterday afternoon till sometime after midnight. I hate those. The...
Friday Five #5 Fri 15 Feb 2002
http://fridayfive.org/ 1. What was the first thing you ever cooked? Honestly I have no idea, but it was probably a toasted cheese sandwich. I used to cook them all...
Making My Mind Up Thu 14 Feb 2002
I was going to post something about the abortion referendum that we'll be having here early next month, but to be honest I don't know anything about it. Oh...
Blogsitting Wed 13 Feb 2002
This Monday, I will be a guest blogger on Mat's site, joining a rag-tag band of misfits housesitting, if you will, for Mr. Honan as he lives it up...
Bob Mould Interview Tue 12 Feb 2002
I just read a good interview with ex-Hüsker Dü guitar god Bob Mould (c/o Mat), where he talks about his appreciation for professional wrestling, and his job working as...
The Rage Tue 12 Feb 2002
I had a serious case of the rage this morning. I wasn't off to a good start anyway since I didn't get home till after 2:30am last night, didn't...
An Average Tuesday Mon 11 Feb 2002
I actually went into college early this morning. And I contributed to the class (one of four, people seem so afraid of saying something wrong and being laughed at...
Plagiarism is Bad. Plagiarising Yourself is Worse. Sun 10 Feb 2002
The new episode of The Simpsons tonight was shit. I mean, the whole corporate religion thing has been done before (methinks the scriptwriters have been listening to Jello Biafra...
Mat's Boutique Sun 10 Feb 2002
Mat's got his own clothing line now. I like the hoodie. I may even buy one....
Taking a Break from Derrida Sat 09 Feb 2002
I'm taking a break from Derrida for a while. Update on last night: watched most of Kentucky Fried Movie last night. It was okay, it started off pretty well,...
A Weekend of Derrida Sat 09 Feb 2002
I've got a weekend of Derrida ahead of me. The essay is pretty straight forward ('What is deconstructive reading, and what difficulties are associated with it?). Basically I can...
1991 Called; They Want Their War Back Tue 05 Feb 2002
Regarding this so-called 'axis of evil': Berlin's deputy foreign minister, Ludger Vollmer, said: "We Europeans warn against it. There is no indication, no proof that Iraq is involved in...
Kepler Tue 05 Feb 2002
A band named Kepler will be the guests of Godspeed You Black Emperor! at their show here next month. I haven't really heard their stuff - hey, I only...
Real Ads of Genius Mon 04 Feb 2002
Last night, while watching the Superbowl, Sky showed some of the Budweiser Real Men of Genius commercials, which I have to say are the best adverts they've ever commissioned....
The Best Picture Ever Mon 04 Feb 2002
The title is true; this truly is the best picture ever (c/o Ober Dicta)....
Pop Art Sun 03 Feb 2002

Media Standards Slipping Sun 03 Feb 2002
Something interesting (c/o Lot 49): News coverage immediately after the Sept. 11 attacks was based on solid sources and "just the facts," but media standards have since slipped, a...
Andy Warhol Sun 03 Feb 2002
There's a three-part series about the art and life (well, mostly art) of Andy Warhol on Sunday nights on Channel 4 at the moment. Last week was the first...
Oh Boy Sat 02 Feb 2002
Oh boy. Me thinks the South Korean authorities have never seen a real English hooligan riot. God help them....
Friday Five #4 Fri 01 Feb 2002
http://fridayfive.org/ 1. Have you ever had braces? Any other teeth trauma? When I was 7 (I'm sure I was 7, it was before I went to St. Brigid's, when...
