Sophie Says Sooth (2002.11.25): "Also, get yourself a good pet psychologist. There are lots of them in California and I'm sure that at least one of them has a poorly designed website that offers to talk to your pet for an exorbitant hourly fee."
Sophie Says Sooth (2002.11.18): "I think a decent lawyer and a sympathetic jury would probably net us a couple of million dollars each after we pay the exorbitant lawyers' fees. What do you say? Because, I tell you what: that kind of cash is going to lower my stress levels right down to nothing. I should be so lucky as to have my biggest problem be what to do with all of my money."
Matriculation Reloaded (2002.11.17): "We didn't wind up with as big a sample size as we would've liked, which means we're going to be calling people back who don't follow through on completing the survey. That's sure to be fun: 'Hey, remember that person you gave your e-mail address to just to get them the hell off the phone?'"
Oz: The Complete First Season: "Oz walks the fine line between homoerotic soap opera for men and a quasi-realistic exploration of the power structure inside one of America's maximum security prisons. While Oz possesses a premise that would make it a definite franchise show (as well as one that would get various parental watchdog groups up in arms and out for blood), it remains the red-headed stepchild of HBO."
Juliana Hatfield / Gold Stars 1992-2002: "As interesting and important as it is, though, I never would have bought it had I not found a copy for $10 at a used record store called Nuggets in Boston. I have all of Juliana's solo records, which means I have all the would-be hits including here."
Transmetropolitan: Back on the Street: "Spider Jerusalem, despite generally coming off as a PCP-addicted version of Daffy Duck, is a very deep character in terms of moral core and values. Such is the case when Spider lashes out at the womanizing leader of the Transient community regarding his abuse of authority over the Transients and his habit of knocking up his female followers."
San Diego Comic-con 2002: Part 1: "A lot of it sounded like standard conspiracy theory bullshit; I would like to believe him about the income taxes, though. Apparently it has something to do with the improper ratification of the 16th Amendment and taxing our privilege of earning money."
"Glamour Hose": A 14-piece photographic series from Natalie Meyer
"Pixel Worship": A new short narrative work from Aaron Veenstra

This has been an exceedingly boring week, so no Matriculation Reloaded today. However, I do have Jesse Baker's review of the first Oz DVD set for you, after being a lazy-ass editor for a couple weeks. posted at 22:09
