for your consideration

both my babies has been up for about a month and a half now and i couldn't be more pleased with it! i have a lot of friends to thank for pushing me to take a tiny corner of the internet for myself. in hindsight, running a blog is more work than i originally had imagined! now i understand why so many blogs remain abandoned and covered in metaphorical cobwebs.

i initially started both my babies as a place to share some of my favorite music, games, and clips with others. in reality, it truly is a viable source of social networking since i quit facebook and i am grateful to all who take the time of day to check out my blog and read my ramblings. (or if you're just here strictly for the downloads, that's ace, too!)

as a reminder, downloading on both my babies is easy breezy. with each record i post, i include a hyperlink below the album art and again below the tracklist. i always host my files on mediafire and break the tracks into individual files for those who prefer to pick and choose songs. the music videos act as quick samplers.

games also feature hyperlinks at the top and bottom of the post. though some are ready-to-go computer games, others are rom files which require an emulator. (i posted the one i use on both my babies.) and of course i will upload other emulators if necessary.

to reiterate, i can't thank you enough for baring with me and i hope you enjoy the blog! the labels on the right margin are extremely useful for navigating and trying out everything that both my babies has to offer! keep browsing and growing!

shane has no shame - reapers

oh, snap...!

welcome to the first installment of "shane has no shame," where i plan to dispute any rumors that i am made of glass and show various compromising media solely for the purpose of your amusement!

i hope to start off with a bang with my first official screenplay entitled reapers, which centers on a young teenager who must contend with a group of cannibalistic murderers that descend on her hometown.

although this project took me only about two weeks to complete, it is still riddled with quite a few grammatical errors in conjunction with bad dialogue and a finale that wraps up entirely too quickly. feel free to laugh your ass off and bust my chops! that's the primary reason this section is here!

oh, snap...!

this week on tv #1

welcome to the first installment of "this week on tv," where i will (typically) rant about the bullshit i catch on television; hence the name! let's face it: there is way too much crap out there on the small screen, so allow me to do you this favor. :)

• the stereotypical queens of the a-list: new york continue to amuse (and embarrass) gays across the nation with their catty back-stabbing; rodiney's terrible english worsens.
• lumpy space princess from adventure time with jake and finn finally returns home after being homeless for an entire season; her "monster in the cave" stint and the townspeople she terrorized are particularly cute!
• sarah colonna, a.k.a. "chelsea lite" on chelsea lately, was prominently featured in a trilogy of hilarious voice messages she left josh wolf while completely wasted and wandering through casinos and parks alone; ross mathews and loni love contributed little to the round table other than their stale go-to crap.
• larry once again got into his regular antics on curb your enthusiasm by "saving" a stewardess on an airplane from an unruly passenger, only to have everything blow up in his face (natch.) then he makes a dick of himself at a dinner party and gets found out, only to become a true hero by pummeling a punk on a subway with some seriously hard bread!
• the professor from futurama thinks he is dying from a disease and asks for dr. zoidberg to mercy kill him, to which the other crew members respond by kicking everyone's favorite medical crustacean out; he later returns to save the day just in time when the professor turns into a yeti!
  
• chef ramsay continues to amuse on hell's kitchen with his constant rage mode; most of the contestants prove that they have never actually cooked before with an epically bad dinner service after which the baraka lookalike goes home. (she couldn't have POSSIBLY been 24!)
• the blonde bimbo from masterchef us wins the whole tamale in the underwhelming season finale. this show is apparently a huge deal in other countries; these losers couldn't possibly have been the best home cooks in the nation!
  
• the weathered-looking broad from project runway is sent packing after designing a tacky gray and orange housecoat for fashion icon nina garcia; a sexy olive green jumpsuit and form-fitting slacks light up the runway and impress the judges.
• uber ungrateful mega bitch ashley from the real housewives of new jersey finally gets a long-needed talking-to after sending her mother into tears; teresa continues her life of delusion and caroline's kids remain amazingly lame.
• the bullshit that is tru blood finally airs the first good episode of the season; too bad it took until the halfway point. shit hits the fan for much of the cast, most noticeably jessica, while eric bangs sookie all over the woods so fans with nonactive sex lives can get their rocks off.
