Unless I'm a fan of yours, apparently. Look for Douglas Coupland to die tomorrow.

Nugget

Heads of State who ride and wrangle,
Who look at your face from more than one angle,
Can cut you from their bloated budgets,
Like sharpened knives through Chicken McNuggets.

No, not in the Tubgirl kind of way. I mean that it can actually be a great way to spread information despite a government blackout. For example: Liveblogging a coup d'état.

Dead Rising: A Review

By thenick (Fri Sep 01, 2006 at 07:30:15 AM EST) Xbox 360, ZOMG, 007, Crap (all tags)

I finally broke down and bought an Xbox 360. I know, last time I owned an Xbox, the repair division of Microsoft called me a potential terrorist and refused to fix my system. But this time, it's going to be different, Microsoft promised. Microsoft just gets frustrated with me and I know deep down inside, Microsoft really loves me.

Anyways, for the second time in my life, I bought a system solely to play a zombie game, the first being the PSX and Resident Evil. This time, I picked up an Xbox 360 and Dead Rising, along with a used copy of Perfect Dark: Zero, the sequel to the N64 title created by Rare. I also downloaded the Uno demo from the Xbox Live Marketplace, thinking I could relive a part of my childhood by playing a card game I could kick ass at almost 20 years ago.

Has your city ever provided a police escort to the edge of town for Ashlee Simpson's tour bus because of multiple threats of violence? I think not. Suck it, Fort Wayne!

If you've watched your local news in the past week, chances are you saw a story about how in unprecedented number, people are pawning their possessions in exchange for money to pay the exorbitant gas prices.

I hate spelling errors. Seriously, I hate them with all of my soul. If I met spelling errors in a dark alley, I would bludgeon them to death with a pipe, then have my way with them. I was a copy editor in journalism class during high school. Spelling errors were my bitches.

Check this out: I'm about eleventy billion deep, yet I've managed to post a spelling-error free diary. It's not that hard.
