Rock Star – no more fucking reality teevee!

I’m hooked hard on Rockstar INXS. I’m looking forward to the tuesday show all week.

Fuck.

Sucked in again.

Some of these people are good. The house band is awesome. INXS and Dave Navarro make a great panel; no fucked up American Idol crap.

I wanted not to like it. Not like I really cared a lot about INXS, but they were a major band at one time and I liked ’em. But it seemed like ultimate sellout. And it is a sellout, absolutely. But…

But damn. Good teevee.

On the other hand, I’m over BlowOut. Really. I’ll never watch it again. Promise.

Rock Star is just hitting the point where it’s getting really interesting; almost all the weak performers are gone, and it’s getting to the point where they’re going to have to start choosing the weaker of three good people, instead of the obvious loser. That’s going to get harder each week.

Personally, I’m rooting for JD, but Marty is a close second. And you know, I hate that I care.

Blog Depression

as blogging has exploded and, under the stewardship of the veterans, the form has matured more and more bloggers are finding themselves disillusioned, dissatisfied, taking long breaks, and in many cases simply closing up shop. this debilitating scourge ebbs and flows but there is hardly a blogger among us who has not felt it’s dark touch.

From The Nonist:

a nonist public service pamphlet:

there is a growing epidemic in the cyberworld. a scourge which causes more suffering with each passing day. as blogging has exploded and, under the stewardship of the veterans, the form has matured more and more bloggers are finding themselves disillusioned, dissatisfied, taking long breaks, and in many cases simply closing up shop. this debilitating scourge ebbs and flows but there is hardly a blogger among us who has not felt it’s dark touch. we’re speaking, of course, about blog depression.

You know, it’s funny because it’s true.
