As return visitors will notice, I changed the layout of white male consumer, once again. I should be keeping track of all of my layout changes. But, I’m calling this layout Kubrick 2.0 since it’s my second heavy-duty layout change since switching to Kubrick.
Not a whole lot else to say. My computer’s DVD player simply refuses to play DVD’s lately, which is annoying because I took out Ghost World and Fahrenheit 451 from the library. And I can’t watch them. Err!
While I’m on the subject of movies, I’d like to recommend to anyone interested, a documentary named Hijacking Catastrophe. I must say, it’s one of the best documentaries I’ve seen in awhile. Like Fahrenheit 9/11, it is focused on 9/11/01 and the Bush administration. However it comes off as much meatier than Moore’s piece, with more meaningful interviews and information, and less of Moore’s “comical antics!” I was deeply moved in parts. The biggest problem, is finding a place to see it, however. I watched it at Cornell Cinema, a day before election day. Man, that was a bad way to go into election day.
But, on a final note, I also added polls to the blog! Whee! You’ll see the poll to the right, at the top of the menu. I’ll have to see how many people vote. If it’s never used, I’ll take it down sometime. But it’s quite nifty.



The Library DVDs are often quite scratched, which most of the cheap laptop DVD players have trouble with. The actual set-top boxes have more error tolerance…
It’s just an ailing DVD-rom drive. It’s been on-again off-again for a year or two now. Usually rebooting would make it start working.
Hell, just to open the thing, I have to *tap* on the tower. I’m not sure what you mean by set-top though..? I probably should buy a replacement soon.. I am on a desktop computer.
