Thursday, February 27th, 2003 - I've added another annoyance to ye old WTF? Page after watching the news last night.

The new Terry Tate commercial "Terry Goes On Vacation" is up at Reebok.com. Bwahahaah... Check it out!

Wednesday, February 26th, 2003 - I've added a "Stuff That Kicks Ass" section to the bottom of the About Me page. I've also added another annoyance to ye old WTF? Page.

I have to say that Smallville is my favorite television show right now. If you didn't see last night's episode with Christopher Reeve, watch the replay on Sunday night. You won't regret it. FANTASTIC!

Tuesday, February 25th, 2003 - I've added an Office Space animated .gif I found to my WTF? Page because it pretty much summarizes how I feel about such things.

Apparently the U.K. is as amused by Terry Tate as we Americans are. Check this out.

Monday, February 24th, 2003 - I've decided that Ikea is the greatest store in the world. My wife took me to Ikea in Chicago for the first time in my life and I didn't want to leave! I believe it's the human equivalent to PetsMart for dogs. Wow...

Speaking of PetsMart, I updated my WTF? page in the Musings Section with a little annoyance from this weekend. Don't let this happen to you.

Friday, February 21st, 2003 - Thank God it's Friday. It's been a long week... A few interesting things of note:

- Best Movie Review Quote Evar - ""Old School" doesn't even deserve to go to video and DVD. This film should go straight to landfill." (Ouch...sounds like something I'd write!)

- Milwaukee Bucks trade Ray Allen for Gary Payton (Umm...why?)

- Raven's X-Men: Legends project announced (Finally!)

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Wednesday, February 19th, 2003 - I've posted some pictures from my Las Vegas trip in the Musings Section. Check 'em out!
Tuesday, February 18th, 2003 - Ever have one of those days? Well TODAY is one of those days... Time to start drinking heavily, methinks.

Monday, February 17th, 2003 - Well, I'm back from Las Vegas about $200 poorer. My wife, however, came out about $500 ahead. It probably would have been more, but I "helped" her with her winnings. I was one team away from winning $3000 in a College Basketball parlay. Way to go, Cincinnati! Thanks for taking care of UNC-Charlotte...NOT! Ah well...

Hopefully I'll be able to get my pictures downloaded and put them up here this week. We'll see how it goes...

I'm at work today on my day off setting up a new employee for Tuesday. Doesn't that sound like fun?

Wednesday, February 12th, 2003 - We survived the blizzard that blew through Wisconsin last night. It's the first real winter weather we've had this year. Snowfall totals are about two feet (yes feet) below normal, so I'm pretty sure we're going to get dumped on in March.

Not much going on right now. Just planning my weekend trip to Las Vegas for Valentine's Day.

Tuesday, February 11th, 2003 - I'd like to say a few words about the revival of Dragnet on ABC. I love it. I watched Episode #2 on Sunday and enjoyed it even more than the first episode, "The Silver Slayer." Ed O'Neill is fantastic as Joe Friday and Ethan Embry is a competent partner. The only drawback is, now I have to tape The Dead Zone on U.S.A., another of my favorite shows. Ah well...

I've added a few more rants to my WTF? page in the Musings Section.

Monday, February 10th, 2003 - I find myself wondering how Final Destination 2 didn't receive an NC-17 rating. That movie had some of the most stunning displays of brutality I've ever seen...and I've been watching horror films for more than 20 years. Seriously, it was disturbing...

It puts in perspective, though, how desensitized the American public at large is when it comes to violence. The entire theatre erupted with "ooohs" and "ahhhhs" and sometimes outright laughter at each grisly murder. I have to admit that I was one of the ones carrying on, but like I said, I've been watching horror for 20 years.

Oh, and the new Terry Tate Commercial "Draft Day" is up and running at Reebok.com. I think this is the best series of commercials I've ever seen. It has "Big Time Comedy Movie" written all over it.

Friday, February 7th, 2003 - Not much going on in Kenn's World today. I'm thinking of going to see Final Destination 2 tonight to see what Death has in store for hapless teenagers this time. I've added the beginnings of my old WTF? page to the Musings Section. I'm sure that will fill itself out nicely in the near futre. Have a great weekend!

Thursday, February 6th, 2003 - Kenn is not a happy camper today. Kenn's even talking about himself in the third person today. I've been researching Have Gun, Will Travel for about a year now (I used to watch reruns as a kid) for a possible Hollywood update and guess what? Someone just signed it. Ahhhhhhhh! I so wanted to write the screenplay for it. I can't win for trying... So guess what Terry Tate says about that?

Whoo!  Whoo!

As a side note, GameSpy has posted their latest "Gaming University" column, featuring answers from yours truly. Am I a fat bastard in that picture or what? Jeez... I think the camera adds FIFTY pounds, not just ten.

Wednesday, February 5th, 2003 - Updated the Writing Section with many of my past works. I've also added a few links to the Links Page. Isn't this fun?

Tuesday, February 4th, 2003 - Construction continues. Much work still to be done. The world rejoices as Road House is finally made available on DVD.

"It's my way or the highway."

Monday, February 3rd, 2003 - Construction of the new and improved "Kenn's World" website begins. The world at large is decidedly under-whelmed. Oh, and today just happens to be my six-year anniversary at Raven Software.
