On to the Next One
I bought my overpriced Playstation 3 during the winter break of my collegiate Freshman year. In late October of this year (2013), it finally died when my girlfriend and I were using it to watch Netflix. The yellow light of death. It was heartbreaking at the time, to tell you the truth.
I hung onto the machine for a few more months, turning it Read more [...]

Breaking Down Breaking Bad: To’Hajiilee
The episode titled "To'Hajiilee" that aired this past Sunday is arguably the greatest episode of the show's run (so far - we don't yet know what's to come); Vince Gilligan even said that he thought of all the show's cliff-hangers, of which there are many, this would be the one about which the audience would be most distraught. He was not wrong. Read more [...]

Bloga Bonito
While it's always hard, in the present time, to appreciate that life will be different in the future, that's the way it always happens. The 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil is still over a year from now. That's more than enough time for change to happen. How much different will my life be the next time this great competition rolls around? Read more [...]
The More-Ality of the Internet
The internet is a beast. It’s rapidly changed the way we live our lives, particularly in that it has entirely streamlined communication. No longer must you wait to get your news fix until the next day’s paper comes out. No longer do military servicemen need to wait weeks to receive letters from their loved ones back home. No longer must you Read more [...]

The Uncanny Valley: The Unceasing Strangeness of the SyFy Channel
Fair warning: most of the video clips posted below are not safe for work, and many are mind-boggingly stupid as well. Seriously, don't watch them if there is anybody nearby who you want to respect you as a human being.

Stumbling off Olympus
Earlier this morning I was flipping through the channels when I came across the Olympics. The event? Women's 20 kilometer "race walk." It's a type of foot race in which, apparently, you have to move as fast as possible while having at least one foot on the ground at all times (which you don't when you run). Here is a video of some race walking:

The Dark Side of the Rainbow
You, at some point, have probably heard about "The Dark Side of the Rainbow," even if you don't recognize the name. Surely, at some point in your life, some bleary-eyed aquaintance wearing a Grateful Dead t-shirt has told you that if you play Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" album over the video for "The Wizard of Oz," the two synch up perfectly.

Life is a Cigarette
This is the inaugural post for the Quarry. This blogcat will be a collection of short essays and articles dealing with a range of topics that I find interesting to write about. At times, these pieces will be complements to my longer columns. Presently, this acts as a bit of an "introduction" to the column that will be written over the course of the next week. Breathe it in.
