SIC of the (week), 12/26 to 1/1




OKAY...so obviously, the "SIC of the day" gimmick lasted all of three days. (I could insert some bullshit about "taking a week off for Christmas," like most bloggers/respected writers do so that they don't have to worry about anything from December 19th to January 2nd, but I'm not a lazy fuck, so yeah.) That's impressively awful, even by my standards. So I've switched it up to the "SIC of the week" in order to make this a more realistic goal.


Also...I've read over the first few things I've written, and I hate them all and want to change almost all of them. They just don't reflect what I want to do at all. I've slowly come to learn that I began this blog with the intention to "try to understand why I feel the way I do about certain things in society," and from those first few essays it does seem as though I am working toward that goal. However, I come off sounding like a whiny emo kid, which isn't like me at all. I feel like I went overly emotional, in trying to sound important and make the blog "sound professional" or something. This goes against the point of what I'm trying to do, because if I contort my words and sound like a pretentious dick (which I'm not), then I'm not really expressing how I feel, which (again) is the point of this blog. Henceforth, I will make a conscious effort to put "content" above "form" in my essays, which will resume tomorrow.


As for the "SIC of the week," I present to you the most exciting two minutes the average movie geek has had in months: The Dark Knight Rises official trailer. Enjoy.

"SIC of the day," 12/16/11

Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who's the "sic"-est dog of all?






Come on...you were expecting someone else?


Anyway, the new essay will be up in a little bit. I realize now that I probably should have saved yesterday's "SIC" for today, given that today's the day that the Drive-related essay is going to go up. So...fuck. I guess I'll incorporate a new feature into this feature: "When in doubt, go with the sexiest picture of Katy Perry you can find." Done and done! Enjoy.

"SIC of the day"; 12/15/11

What's up, dog?











Just another day of being a badass muthafucka, I see. Anyway, I'm running low on time today and I'm pretty sure I just stuck my fingers into week-old bacon grease, so before I head to the DeTox station I'll just throw this out there: This song is called "Nightcall," by Kavinsky, and it's from the Drive original soundtrack. I'm going to have an extensive essay up tomorrow on how 2011 movies are/were disrespected, so this'll kind of "tie into that" or something. Enjoy!

Song/Image/Clip (SIC) of the day, 12/14/11

So I've decided that, since I won't be able to post every day due to the nature of my blog's content, that I'm going to incorporate a "daily" aspect: the Song/Image/Clip of the week, or "SIC" for short. I'm going to name it in honor of my menacing dog. Here is his picture.
















No, his name isn't "sic" (it's Max), and no, he doesn't look that menacing. But he gains this honor because of the fact that the word "sic" is his "kill word." Just look at what happens after I say it. "Sic" Max, "sic"!






*shivers* *shivers again*





Whew...okay, I'm good. So here's the first annual "SIC of the day." It's a song by Puscifer, off their latest album, Conditions Of My Parole. I nearly saw these guys (and girls) in Vegas last weekend despite the fact that I would have had no money for tickets, airfare, lodging, food, or gambling, and it was basically just because of this song. If you're a fan of ambient trip-hop, this is for you.
