The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

I don't know where I find the time...

THE GOOD
Imogen Heap "Speak for Yourself" - Go. Buy it. Listen. Be thankful God gave you ears.
Shadow of the Colossus - absolutely gorgeous and full of power and grace. Less is so much more.
Indigo Prophecy - a whole new approach to gameplay, very, very well crafted. And Angelo Badalamenti's soundtrack sounds amazing.
Steve Vai - Real Illusions: Reflections - this album is not new, but it's really grown on me. More unbelievable virtuosity from the Paganini of our generation.

THE BAD
CNN headlines - here is a good example...
remote control for human beings - I hate to sound like a broken record, but this one bears repeating.

THE UGLY
The U.S. Senate - It doesn't really matter who's right and who's wrong. Everyone looks bad on this one.
Michael Brown - OK, you've got to take care of your dog, but perhaps your priorities weren't exactly in order when Katrina hit? A quote from one of his emails: "If you'll look at my lovely FEMA attire, you'll really vomit. I am a fashion god."
Tony Hawk's American Wasteland - Maybe I've gotten pickier, but I'm your number one fan, and it seem like a lot of recycling covered in sloppy gameplay, sloppy execution, and a very sloppy look. All I can say is, SHAME ON YOU.
