Max's Miscellaneous Musings

You'll recall that some time ago, I wrote a post entitled "I am a judgemental turd", in which I questioned the Fat Cyclist's ability to start dating so soon after the death of his wife.  Fatty's latest blog entry addresses this issue, in a much classier… more »

I really enjoyed watching Rent the other night.  I ended up downloading a couple of the songs from iTunes.  I can't decide which I prefer, Seasons of Love, or Take Me Or Leave Me.  I think I'm going with TMOLM at this moment, but that might change in SOL… more »
