Jericho Finished With the Internet Mon 24 Jun 2002

The Thing About Jello Mon 24 Jun 2002
This great article by the Doors' John Densmore (c/o Mat) reminds me of the Jello Biafra vs. DK's situation, particularly since the DK's played here last night. I didn't...

Friday Five #17 Fri 21 Jun 2002

In the Middle of the Night Mon 17 Jun 2002
There's something really peaceful about walking in the cold air in the middle of the night. No people to disturb you. No traffic save the odd taxi and squad...
Movies and Wrestling Sun 16 Jun 2002
I've had a busy few days. On Friday afternoon I went to see Spider-Man with Dave and Groves. I think I'll have to see it again. Groves wasn't exactly...
Bloomsday Sun 16 Jun 2002
It just dawned on me that today is Bloomsday. What with all the kerfuffle about the big match today (that I'm not even watching), I suppose it was bound...
Funny Stuff Sun 16 Jun 2002
This just made me laugh out loud. But even so, it still doesn't do it for me like Pookiemon does....
He's the Pinhead Sun 16 Jun 2002
What a jingoist plonker. Oh sure, he can say whatever he wants - free speech, freedom of opinion and all - but that doesn't mean he speaks the truth....
Double Booked Fri 14 Jun 2002
Oh no! Tenacious D are playing Whelans on the 6th of July, which just happens to be the same night the WWA is coming to town. Aaaargh! I already...

Slow Day At Work Tue 04 Jun 2002
