popScorn | Hitting the books

I'm not sure if anybody's been checking this blog since mom flaked ages ago, but on the off chance she returns to see what I thought of the orgasm comedy The Oh in Ohio, I'd like to direct her — and whoever else might be peeping this — to head on over to Meech Eat Books, a brand-spankin'-new book review blog run by my lovely pal Michelle that I've decided is totally the official sister site to reMedia! If we can only convince another friend to launch a music review blog, we'd be a big old media-critiquing triumvirate (look it up)!

Thanks, Michelle. With all the movie-watching lately, I have time to crack open a book maybe, mmm, two hours a month, so I've been reading the first chapter of Scott Smith's The Ruins over and over since August. Now, when I'm chatting up strangers at hifalutin' cocktail parties, I can just verbally plagiarize whatever you've written most recently and seem like I've got a well-read head on my shoulders, and then people won't have the slightest clue that I'm the kind of guy who willingly subjects himself to crap like Little Man and John Tucker Must Die.

You know, so you don't have to. I'm into philanthropy like that.
