I never understood how Jhonen Vasquez sold this show to Nick in the first place. I mean, it was probably my favorite piece of animation on tv, but the humor was definitely above kids' heads. I just hope he keeps doing animation and doesn't go back to comic books.
I've had my Xbox for a month and it runs cool. It's cool to the touch no matter how long I leave it on. I think the overheating thing is a myth. I know that PS2 overheats, though.
I've heard that part of the reason the Xbox was made larger to muffle internal noises such as the noise from the DVD player which is prevelent in the Playstation 2.
It's much harder to find an Xbox than it is to find a GameCube. There are stores in my area that have six or seven GameCubes on the shelf and no Xboxes. Recently (while I was still in the process of trying to get an Xbox) Circuit City told me that they would be receiving a few on a certain day. There was a line outside of CC for the Xboxes, but they didn't receive any, but they did receive about 20 GameCubes which no one bought. I think that Xbox would sell more units if they could produce more. So the problem isn't that the GameCube is outselling the Xbox, just that there are more GameCubes than there are Xboxes.
I believe writers such as Thomas Pynchon, Don Delillo, William Gaddis and David Foster Wallace will still be read fifty years from now. I believe that most will be read a hundred and fifty years from now. I also believe that Kurt Vonnegut and JG Ballard will still be read as well as Maya Angelou and such recently deceased as William Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg and Gregory Corso. I'm not so sure that many authors in genre fiction will make it.
I don't mean for this to sound uncaring, but after the second straight day I found myself getting more and more tired of the news simply because it seemed as if they had exhausted all avenues. I'm glad that people got a chance to describe loved ones, etc, who are missing, but it seems that every other story is practically tired. I don't know about anyone else, but I'm wishing for some normalcy in television world.
