Tom Calls Katie "Holmes"

That was a terrible title, I admit, but this is crucially important entertainment news. Tom Cruise is dating Katie Holmes. Forget the fact that he is old enough to be her father. Forget the fact that she is an avowed virgin. This is crazy because I really thought that he and Penelope Cruz were going to make it. I mean, c’mon, THEY HAVE THE SAME LAST NAME (practically). I guess I’m going to have to watch Vanilla Sky tonight and mourn the end of their relationship.

Sniff.

When I was 6

…my folks got the first computer that I ever layed hands on. It was an 8088 that they dropped around $4,000 on…and it was the sweetest thing that I’d ever seen. Lame as it might be, I still get excited when I think about that machine. My dad downloaded some nerd games for me from CompuServe (remember pre-Internet CompuServe?), and when I got a little older I started playing around with BBSs (remember BBSs?) on its screamin’-fast 2400-baud modem. Yessir, those were the days…

Concert Meme

From Robin via Daria.

Below is a list of 25 bands/artists I’ve seen in concert (I’m counting opening acts, too). Copy the list to your blog, and leave in the bands you’ve seen perform live. Delete the ones you haven’t and add new ones that you have seen until you reach 25. Asterisk the bands that the previous person had on their list. If they already have an asterisk, add a second one.
