Presidential debates

Jesus. I can't watch this, it's awful.

Are these the two best men we can find to lead our country? I am going to take my cue from Brewster's Millions and vote for “None of the Above.”

Want real political discussion? Go here or here.

Office Space

Best. Movie. Ever.

The Whole Ten Yards

Another average movie. There's no recent DVD's out right now that I actually want to see.

The movie wasn't bad, but Matthew Perry was way too “Chandler” for my tastes. He really isn't a bad actor, but he needs to avoid any more roles like this or he's never going to get past his Friends days. The first one was definitely a better movie, but if you like it then this one is probably worth seeing too.

Jersey Girl

Another decent movie. If you like Kevin Smith's work you should see it, but don't expect a classic Kevin Smith film.

The Ladykillers

Good movie but not great. Tom Hanks is good, but the rest of the cast isn't. See it if you like Tom Hanks or the Coen brothers.

Scrubs

Best show on TV. Period.

Funny as hell, Zach Braff (as JD) is a hilarious and so is Donald Faison (as Turk). Plus Sarah Chalke (Elliot) is hot and they added freaking Heather Graham to the cast this season.

Awesome show.

Nip/Tuck

My coworker has been raving about this show all summer long but I never had any interest. I hate the idea of plastic surgery and I hate shows about self-absorbed morons, so it sure didn't sound like something I'd want to see.

I watched it the other night, it was great. Entertaining as hell. I'll definitely watch the final two episodes of this season and try to download Season 1 off BitTorrent.

NFL Football

I actually stayed up and watched the entire game last night on Monday Night Football. This year I'm more interested than usual in the NFL, probably because I'm involved in a fantasy league here at work. I've played fantasy football before, but never with nine other people I knew.

Of course I'm still watching plenty of college football, but only one Longhorn game has been on TV so far.

In-ear headphones

I mostly use my iPod mini when I'm working out, but I've been wanting some higher quality headphones to use at other times. I'm interested in the better sound, but also just not using the same headphones I sweat on.

I'd prefer them to be white, because what's the point of having an iPod f no one knows it? Apple makes a decent pair, but they're not great quality and a little overpriced. (Apple product overpriced? Shocking I know.)

Lenny Kravitz: Mama Said

I hadn't heard anything from this album in ages, found it the other day through BitTorrent. I really like It Ain't Over 'Til It's Over. Overall the whole album is good and more to my liking than most of his newer stuff.

The Sims 2

I broke down and bought the game last night. What can I say? I'm weak.

Played it for a couple hours already, mainly just screwing around. It was fun designing your Sims, they really have a ton of physical options so you can do your best to make them look like someone. I made myself and Mandy Moore and then set out on building our life together.

Turns out it's just like real life, I can barely handle one life let alone two. I'll restart the game tonight and become a bachelor, I'll have to win Mandy's love the hard way.

Sports Night

One of the best shows on television, well at least it would be if it was actually still on TV! Cancelled after only two seasons, Sports Night was funny and intelligent. You need to see it if you haven't, especially if you're a sports fan. You can get the whole series on DVD for only around fifty bucks.

The Sims 2

I played the hell out of SimCity series since the very first one. I even played SimTower and SimIsle, with a little SimEarth mixed in. Maybe some other ones too. However, the first The Sims was a game that had literally zero interest in. I played and I liked it, about 3 years after everyone else did.

The new Sims 2 for the PC is a game I'm really interested in. Graphics look great, gameplay should be improved. Sounds good to me. IGN gave it a 9.4 and an 8.9 from GameSpot.

Fable

Much hyped and much anticipated RPG for the Xbox. Looks really interesting, definitely a game I'll be picking up when I'm done with NCAA/Madden/Tiger Woods. IGN gives it a 9.3 and it gets a 8.6 from GameSpot.
