Pop Culture in tiny, bite-sized portions


I'm so happy the New Pornographers finally released their latest album, Challengers. Its not as all-out-rock-out as either Electric Six or Twin Cinema, but at least on the first listen though i think it has potential to end up in the regular rotation of favorites. I know some people probably think Dan Bejar's song are over the top and a little circus-y, but i always look forward to his contributions the most. They usually end up being my favorite songs.


Has anyone seen Rocket Science yet? Living in Eau Claire sort of limits my access to new movies. I wonder if an independent movie theater would be successful here. It seems like it could be, with the university in town. The local megaplex is showing Superbad though, which stars my celebrity look-alike, and which Ebert gave 3 1/2 stars.


I just purchased a new game for my Wii called Trauma Center. I haven't played it yet but it sounds like a pretty entertaining new idea for a game. I'm a little worried that it might feel a little too real, and I will get grossed out and have to stop playing. We'll see what happens.

Lots of rain, more than you could imagine, but no flooding. Here anyway. Thats mostly in the southern part of the state.
