Attack of the Diablo Cody fans
I recently published a review of Diablo Cody’s new series, United States of Tara, on Trashwire. In the review, I talked about how I tried to get into the show, but found the teenage dialogue so annoying that I just couldn’t make it through a second episode.
As I was getting ready to go to bed last night, I saw that a few people had already responded and even had a couple messages in my inbox about the review.
Apparently Cody is a sacred cow in this crazy series of tubes that is the interweb because people were downright pissed that I’d described her writing as anything less than stellar. Continue reading
The brand new Trashwire.com
After getting about 3 hours of sleep the entire weekend, I finally launched the brand spankin’ new redesign on Trashwire.com.
I scoured the internet looking for the coolest WordPress themes and finally settled on a fantastic magazine theme by Gabfire. I made a few alterations, which took forever since I’m definitely not a PHP genius, and I was able to customize it to fit Trashwire. Continue reading
That’s probably how my face would look too
There are many game show moments featuring people giving completely stupid answers to simple questions, but this one is just fantastic.

Twittering about the American Idol auditions
While I just can’t bring myself to write a full story about American Idol, I have been microblogging about the show on the Trashwire Twitter. You can check out my live tweets on the sidebar during the show or head on over to twitter.com/trashwire to follow the posts and reply.
Here’s a few quotes from what I had to say about last night’s contestants:
Ah, Simon never disappoints. “So you’re truning your back on your band?”
Elijah Scarlett sounded like the distorted effect they put on anonymous witnesses on Dateline.
Now I’m worried we’ll find Leah Marie dead in her car outside Kara’s house.
This dude actually thought it was a good idea to go to a shop and pay money for a tattoo that says “Sexual Chacolate”
Cody Sheldon is like Sanjaya only with over-tweezed eyebrows.
I think that one dude was a frightened homeless rabbi
It might be hard to express yourself in 140 characters, but it seems roomy when describing these so-bad-they’re-good contestants. Besides, who wants to watch after the first few episodes when the only people left are those who have actual talent?
