I just had a couple comments come in on the blog, one accusing me of being “overrated” and “overdramatic,” then calling me all kinds of names. It’s very flattering that I’ve elicited such emotions from people (and that they’re paying such close attention to me)! It’s just too bad none of them are smart enough to say anything intelligent — all they can do is post obscenities.
While I certainly get a good laugh at these comments, I’m not engaging in any kind of back-and-forth with such people. Sorry trolls!
My blog is back, sifted from the ashes of the mangled Midnight Corey site. WordPress theme files were in really bad shape, and the database was full of malicious injections. I’ve salvaged most of everything, although you’ll probably notice a few strange things happening with some of the old articles. Thanks for bearing with me as I continue the cleanup.
The Midnight Corey podcast won’t continue. There’s too much controversy, and too many crazy people out there who are taking things way too seriously and who have too much time on their hands. If you’re interested in listening to the podcast, all the episodes are available on the podcast archive page.
My original music is also available again on the music page.
I will still be posting whatever comes to my head, and doing various reviews. Enjoy, all you sensitive Internet people.
Beer brewing is something that I’ve always wanted to try. Someday I very well may. So when I was looking through the Sam Adams selection at my favorite beer store in the area, this one caught my eye: the Samuel Adams LongShot American Homebrew Contest case. It features the top three winners of their 2010 contest.
Another reason why Samuel Adams is an all-around fantastic company: they make outstanding beer, and they support individual efforts like this.
You’ll notice that I haven’t been releasing regular podcasts. Or maybe you haven’t. Either way, my lack of Midnight Corey goodness is due to the birth of my son Owen on December 12, 2010.
I will definitely get back to podcasting regularly, and appreciate your patience while I get used to being responsible for a brand new human life.
Thanks! Feel free to keep those podcast dollars rolling in during this time.
The day after Thanksgiving, while most good Americans are standing in long lines to go deeper into debt, I went to see the Pitt-WVU game at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh. We took the ferry from Station Square, and I got a nice view of the city and stadium.
I went to the football game with my Dad, my brother, his wife, and my 11-year-old nephew. We were surrounded by drunken, cocky WVU kids. Anyone can talk big when they’re full of booze, and the things they said during the game did nothing to help my view of West Virginians.
My dad and I were sick of them screaming obscenities into our ears, and we both turned around, looked at the big drunken mountain boys, and asked them to watch their mouths around my nephew. The tough-talking college kids suddenly transformed into little puppies with their tails between their legs, as they repeated apologized, insisted they were Steelers fans (since we were wearing Steelers stuff), and vacated the area shortly thereafter. I wholeheartedly believe that they had to go change their underwear, based on the looks on their faces. Real tough guys.
Yeah, Pitt got creamed. Not that I’m a diehard Pitt fan anyway. The football was enjoyable, but the booze-filled mountain people that stumbled in from WVU made me decide that I probably won’t go to another college football game. Don’t get me wrong — I love busting on people, and being busted on. But when obscenities are being hurled around young kids, I’m just not into it.
On a positive note, Heinz field is beautiful, and the view from the stadium is great.
The next day, we shot guns. Before the government takes them all away from us, I’m going to shoot as much as possible. You can make a pretty good guess about whose faces I pictured on the target.
In this week’s podcast, I talk about episode 4 of The Walking Dead, and also give my Netflix Instant recommendation: The Human Centipede (First Sequence) (2009). There are a handful of voicemails of death, an original song called “The Count,” and that’s about all.
Another week of weird here at the podcast. I was overly ecstatic when I received the Invisible Invaders (1959) DVD this week, and I talk about the movie as the final zombie movie of the 1950′s.
Episode 3 of AMC’s The Walking Dead aired this week, and I talk about it, along with Voicemails of Death from Spooky Bill and Betty from Maryland.
I attempted to watch Body Snatchers (1993) on Netflix, but ran into some very unexpected issues.
So, if you’re wanting to watch something on Netflix Instant Watch, I recommend you see Subspecies (1991).
I got a wonderful greeting from Jonny T and the wacky crew over at Jonny’s Cult Films Podcast! Quite possibly my favorite message ever.
I wrote and recorded a zombie song (not Zombi 2) called “Alone.”
