Oh My God! Holy Shit!! Jesus Christ!!! (aka My Reaction To Tonight’s Episode of “Breaking Bad”)

Someone on Reddit posted their girlfriend’s reaction at various points during tonight’s episode of “Breaking Bad” and I’d concur… Fans are already calling it “the greatest episode of television in history” and I’d say if not, it’s pretty damn close!

Music Monday – “It’s our party we can do what we want/It’s our party we can say what we want.”

So everybody’s talking about the raunchy Miley Cyrus performance last night at the MTV Video Music Awards (including perhaps the weirdest MetaFilter thread ever where a discussion of whether the Miley Cyrus performance is pushing the “real” news about Syria off of front pages leads to a long parallel thread that jumps back and forth with people alternating […]
