Updated Edition, Reason Two

Special Announcement: This blog is going up with some revisions to the basic set-up of the site. As The Parochialist was largely started as an impulse, a rush job, I did some things that in the context of a blog, really make no sense--such as putting up the same static links every week rather than simply posting them on the side and letting you sort them out. I am correcting that now. I will still post the links that change from week to week, but things like your favorite local clubs, etc, will now be found on the side of the page, saving me time and annoyance. When I can, I’ll offer a preview to what I’m linking you to. I put this up earlier before my trip, so it is a bit short, but now I'm back with updated links.
Enjoy!

Reason Number Two: The Borat Movie Review

I did not see, nor did I ever want to see the comedy movie Borat (I had my reasons--I don’t like the style of humor and I really don’t enjoy watching people’s stupidity, racism, what have you, put on display, as it merely depresses me rather than amuses) but it seemed to gain positive reviews across the board. So I found it refreshing to see a bad review in the City Paper. I thought, wow, it’s bucking the trend of the entire country. But alas, this was a mirage, and simply just a lazily written review about how much the movie sucked.
Ahh, who am I kidding, I’m being lazy, too. I’m too lazy to even put up the stupid link to the review. I’ve got a really good number one and I don’t want to blow it here. And I need to be packing for my big Las Vegas trip.
See you next week for the conclusion to the 5 Reasons!
