Thrilled with Episode III Am I

Posted on

I saw “Revenge of the Sith” at 12:01 AM (though it didn’t actually start until 12:10 AM) and it was awesome. Yes, there was some wooden dialogue but for the most part, it rocked. Seriously, I’m not just saying this and I’m not in denial like I was for Episodes I and II. If anything, […]

Episode III Doesn’t Suck? Can it be possible?

Posted on

Bestill my fanboy heart. The reviews are coming in and so far, so good. I’ve gotten excited before, actually twice before, only to end up in denial for several months before admitting to severe disappointment so I’m trying not to get too worked up until I see the damn thing at 12:01 AM, Thursday May […]

Me: #1 on Google

If you google me (Jeff Lipson) your result number one result is this journal entry that I logged while I was at Woodstock ’94. Even better than text, if you click on the picture, you hear my 17 year old voice leaving an audio entry – sweet! My friend George logged an entry as well. […]

Lipso Nava spotted on LI

It’s Now Councilman Fulop Thank You Very Much

Posted on

Fulop wins! Fulop wins! In Jersey City’s Ward E yesterday, my good friend Steven Fulop successfully raged against the Hudson County Democratic Organization machine and won the Ward E Councilman position. It’s about time that something good happened in the world of politics, especially NJ politics (which is about 5x more dirty than the rest […]
