Mark Felt

I'm a little more than pumped to hear that Rick Rubin is producing an Neil Diamond album. If anyone has the albums he did with Johnny Cash, you will understand. Rubin is going to reform his career.

This morning I did wake up with Today, to see Anna Nalick perform as a part of their Rising Stars promotion. Pretty good. I'm starting to dig what she does, a little too soft though.

I'm ready for some more summer movie schtizz. Not real interested in Batman, or Fantastic Four. Don't care for Willy Wonka, or Narnia. I need something though. I'm looking forward to the Aristocrats, which has been talked about for too long now. It's not the Disney rat movie, its a documentary by Penn Gillette about a joke. Supposed to be NC 17, but avoided that box office poison for the NR. Penn says it is the filthiest movie of all time, hard to believe Kids now has a rival. But it has some buzz.

Looking forward to Mr. and Mrs. Smith but afraid to hang too much hope there. I don't know what to do, I guess I'll just continue to watch DVD's. Oh which recently I watched about twenty five minutes of The Sea Inside. Couldn't do it. It's in Spanish, and we know they speak muy rapido. I couldn't read the subtitles fast enough and you know its a downer, but dude. It's a downer, in just twenty minutes.

What or how am I going to fill my American Idol hour? I miss it like crazy.

I woke up with a Dixie Chicks song in my head this morning. That surprised me, I don't think I heard them in a couple of weeks. Certainly not on the radio, I live in a Red State so most DJ copies of Dixie Chicks CD's were smashed in a Wal Mart parking lot like two years ago. But the good news is that Cheany feels the conflict in Iraq will be over by 2009. I'm relieved.

Dick's probably right considering there should be a new president without the name of Bush. I could be wrong though.

While on politics Deep Throat is gonna be outed. Thanks Vanity Fair.

Dr. Costa Remembered

A Priori, a philosophy term from freshman year that I used in conversation today. I was a little surprised, but it just popped out.

My all time favorite True Life: ....... Episode is on currently. Its the one where the Princess gets married, the two guys commit, and the Jersey residents get hitched allbeit late and at an astronomical cost.

It's my favorite because I've seen it like six times and am amused every time. I still love Charlie telling the late cab driver he's gonna hunt him down like cattle.

My favorite of all time is still True Life: I'm a Teen Runaway. But I guess they don't show that one anymore.

Things that could have been brought to my attention yesterday: Wear Sunscreen no matter how much you want a tan. I got burned, but even worse is I got so much lotion on my skin can't breathe.

Here is a brief story from my childhood. In second grade when the teacher would leave the room, I would yell cuss words at the top of my lungs with my best friend Eddie. We just learned how to cuss and got lots of attention from our classmates by yelling cusses at the top of our lungs. I've always liked Screaming Infidelities by Dashboard Confessional, but I think I'm gonna come up with Screaming Obscenities for my band DJ Shiftee and the Cosmonauts.

Andrew W.K. didn't make it as big as I had hoped.

I watched Blue Crush in its entirety last night and loved it, of course. I hope John Stockwell can get a few more opportunities at youth culture. He makes a good two hour music video. I enjoyed Blue Crush, because I love stuff like that ( Varsity Blues, She's All That, surf movies). I also enjoy movies that are not ashamed of what they are. Did Blue Crush win an Oscar? No. Did it win a Blockbuster or MTV award, probably. Did it win a Razzie? I doubt it.

Anyway, I gotta race I need to get back into.

Angels Done Brung Me Up in Here

Quick Idol Hit:

That was a good final. Bo was okay and Carrie was okay, but the results show was great. Goofy yes, and tiresome with all too much Seacrest. But the spoof on Cory Clark was hilarious, though poorly acted. The playin' with your Idol was good too. I forgot how much I closetedly love Babyface, he brought it dog, yeah! Lynard Skynard with Bo Van Zant next summer at a biker bar near you. And ultimately they got it right, Bo is not an American "Pop" Idol. He can't be sold like Carrie. Carrie could be packaged like LeAnn Rimes or Sara Evans.

Anyway full on post coming tomorrow. I still want to tell a story from my childhood to let everyone see how evil and funny I was.

Stand Up

Blogger has screwed me again.

I must have spent thirty minutes setting up a story from my childhood, and what happened? I lost it. I gotta give some blame to comcast cable, I noticed my like pulse rate was dipping so I went to save the post and try to recover later, not happening.

So I'll try again later.

Carrie might upset Bo tonight. She was pretty good, but stiff. He couldn't nail the crap songs they give you for the final. Don't know, so you gotta go with the pretty face.

Speaking of pretty, look into some Anna Nalick, available on rhapsody. She is saucy.

Have you seen the album cover for the new Dave Matthews Band record? It's fantastic.

Doritos has a terrible campaign slogan now. "Gotta get Doritos, if not now, when?" The final image is innw Doritos. INNW - If Not Now When, are you serious.

Never Meanin' No Harm

My peeps,

I just watched the Dukes of Hazzard trailer, and it was everything you could expect. Too much Jessica Simpson and not enough car stuff. That's what made that show great, as the car chases and silly action. This is steeped in silly humor, but see it for yourself.

www.dukesofhazzard.warnerbros.com

I did however recently watch Schindler's List. Whoo HOO! That was a life changer. I'm sure most people on the planet earth that speak english or hebrew have seen it, so I won't bore you with what I thought about how they did this or how great that was, what I do want to say is that I have a new appreciation for Liam Neeson, and Ralph Finnes. But an even great appreciation for Ben Kingsley, that little bald man was superb.

Now I'm watching Blue Crush and I feel good again.

Did anyone see Tom Cruise on Oprah? I missed most of it, but I did see the hyped moment where he brought main squeeze Katie Holmes out from the "green room"(industry word for kickass waiting room). It was very well acted, if it was an act. They seem genuine, but I still doubt it. The reason I ask is because of that moment where Katie Holmes, mouths I LOVE YOU to Tom Cruise. It seemed real, and it makes me wonder does anyone else see that he is kinda using the old boxing trick, stick and move.

I'm older than my friends. Sure there are friends older than me, but most of my friends are my age or younger. Last night hung out with the young ones. They still do shots that are mixed. I can't stand it anymore. I took four or five shots last night and only one of them had any taste, but it was also the one that put my manhood to test. Grand Marnier, an orange liqueur, defeated me. According to the bartender, Charleston drinks more Grand Ma than any other city. I don't believe that, but it makes for good conversation whilst listening to frickin' rap in a place where I get ID'd but looked at the kid checking, and think I would'nt sell this guy cigarettes.

Youth of a Nation POD

Would You Know My Name

Allrighty then. I am back to tell you a couple of things.

First on CNN.com my homepage there is a story about dozens of puppies found abandoned. I am not cruel or heartless, but who cares. This is a page devoted to world news. I didn't see anything on it's front page about famine, or AIDS or the lack of infrastructure in 85% of Africa. I surely don't want a puppy to be valued over a Senegalian. Too many white people in this world making the decisions.

Next is my understanding of a part of the end of Star Wars 6 or III, or Stop Drop and Roll. I get it now why Vader screamed NOOOOOOO!!!!!. Luke did the exact same thing in 2 or V. however you call it.

Onto other movie matters. The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe looks pretty good. I don't think I'll watch it but it looks pretty cool. I read the books and can't remember anything. I watched Rush this morning with Jason Patric and Jennifer Jason Leigh. Very good drug addiction movie. Greg Allman is in it and is really cool and collected. He is a club owner that the town wants to frame as the kingpin of Texas coke, except no one ever sees him deal. Patric and Leigh are really good in the lead roles as narcs that get addicted to their work. Patric on a more severe level. His acting is underrated. I don't know why he doesn't get more film work. I never noticed him until Narc and now Rush although I did like him in Your Friends and Neighbors, which was just utterly sick, but you gotta love Neil LaBute. That's one helluva Ben Stiller movie.

Though this film was about drug use it didn't fall into a lot of the same trappings others will, like glamorizing the lifestyle. Lilli Fini Zanuck brilliantly showed the degrading effects heroin has on the body's shell. Patric's track marks and Leigh's discolored skin. Gritty performance from Leigh who plays everything cool. She could have been Julia Roberts but rather she invested her talent into much headier pictures, including this one, and the Hudsucker Proxy. While Roberts made Dying Young and Sleeping with the Enemy, Jason Leigh was creeping you out in Single White Female.

Thanks are due to Zanuck (who is currently doing Revelations on NBC and who married into the Zanuck film history) for not allowing the overacting you would typically see in a drug themed movie. I can't stand movies with drunks, retards, blind people, or drug addicts. Actors salavate for those roles because they can act really crazy and the general public laps it up. The hardest thing to do on film is sit still and convey emotion. Not talk about Matlock, while moving side to side with a weird voice.

Star Wars Mania Comes to an End

Spoiler Alert, well unless you have seen Star Wars III or any of the rest.

Okay now to business at hand. I just left the final (?) installment of Star Wars. Of course this has been building up for exactly 22 years. I don't know why people say 28 years. After the first Star Wars, did you think, Hm I wonder how Anakin Skywalker, Luke and Leia's Father fell from grace, and what was the young Obi Wan like? Of course not, but you did after Return of the Jedi. Of course I was six during Jedi, I just wanted to know if I made love to a girl bear would an Ewok come out of her special place? Actually I wondered why Luke creamated Vader, but later in life I found out what a funeral really cost especially for a former world leader.

Business at hand. I really don't think you could ask for a better ending considering what George Lucas did to the first two prequels. The first one was okay, the second a little bad, the third gets a pretty good with some cool parts. Compare that to New Hope which gets a that was cool, to Empire which gets a I loved that, to Jedi which receives a pretty good, I like Star Wars. So this one was like Jedi at best. And it did have some cool parts. I like Yoda so much that my brain is probably clouded, but I think he is one of the great characters in film. He gets me everytime. He really got me today. R2-D2 is probably one of the funniest characters in the last couple of sci fi movies, but why wasn't he funny in the first three?

Things I really liked: How the Emperor was aged, that Vader killed some kids, the way the Jedi's were offed (very Godfather I when the heads of the families were killed), how Lucas addressed the style differences. I was blown away by the subtle changes to ships and their design. Very, very good transition. John Williams did a phenomenal job with the music. I liked some of the bells and whistles, and really liked the Vader losing the battle with Obi Wan and tranforming into the known Vader.

Things I don't like: George Lucas. I don't think he did a very good job with some seemingly small things. They are only small to him though. Acting and Writing are the first problems. Visuals and Speed are another. The acting in these last three has been dreadful. From Ewan to Samuel, and from Nats to Hayden it was dull. And why was it dull, some horrible dialogue, some poorly timed and acted one liners. Harrison Ford has the pinache to pull of some lines, but Ewan McGregor doesn't. Lines would have fit better in Star Trek, especially anything to do with the younglings Vader killed. I was glad he did, the one that spoke was straight outta David Copperfield. I think he said "do you have any sixpence, Lord Vader?" Also, I bet if you watch the first three vs. the last three and count the spoken words, there would be less in the first three, and that one needed to do some of the same set up style things these three did. But the difference was Lucas. He didn't write or direct Empire, the best of the bunch. An economist Lucas is not. If words were his currency he'd be broke. He waste screen time and drama with words. "Hold me Anakin like you did in Naboo, when there were no wars." Here is what should have been said, oh and I am an amateur: "Hold Me". Why just say hold me? Because this is PG 13 everyone in the theatre has seen the rest of the films and know what she was feeling, she needs comfort and warmth, so just tell the future Sith Lord to hold you. Why put a commentary into the movie, or why explain every feeling. R2D2 has it right. Don't speak at all just make noises that sound either happy or sad.

So in that massive paragraph I bitched about dialogue and its abbundance. That friggin' movie sucked so bad because of all the talking. Everything in the first three was action and tight tight tight with dialogue. Next I am bitching about the visuals and the speed of the stuff on screen. Visuals are overwhelming. A very bad and far too dense mise en scene*. There is so much that can be done, but it doesn't mean do it. The sequence's action is shot way too close up and way too fast. The action is fast in a sword fight, but show it from a greater distance thus showing off the skill of your actors, oh that's why. Yeah I know that's why but did you see Spiderman? He swung around in full body shots and further. I nearly had a damn seizure in the IMAX version of Clones. I certainly felt that this one moved way too fast, and way too close up. Also, Cloud City was cool, where ever they were in Ep I-III was trying to be that cool, and they all failed why? Because there was too much to take in. No one can process the amount of info you are giving us. (by the way if you can you play too many video games, I grew up on video games and realize they look like Star Wars now, but still cannot process everything)

Listen you don't need me to tell you how good or bad that thing is, its like I said to the people I saw it with: Its good through Star Wars Glasses.


Oh and they should have named it Star Wars III Stop Drop and Roll



*Mise en Scene is a French Film term basically describing everything in the frame. It can be from very sparce (Kubrick 2001) to goofy (Abrhams, and Zucker Airplane!). It encompasses everything you see and how it is staged for the film. A particularly good example is in Taxi Driver when Travis Bickle is walking down the sidewalk, I think there is a movie playing entitled Alienation. It gives extra context to the story or it is the story.

Like No Other

Well, Bo won American Idol for me last night. I will be casting my vote for him in six days.

I was posed the question how does a band write a song like Jesus Etc. yesterday. Wilco fan to Wilco fan there is a simple answer along the lines of "Dude", or "No doubt, that's totally tubular". My response is 24 hours later, but how does a dude write a song like Easy Lover?
Phil Collins, along with Springsteen, Michael Jackson and I guess Bowie were my major early influences and favorites. It wasn't until Prince, and Public Enemy and Guns and Roses came along to pull me from the pop doldrums into a world of risk. There is no risk with Easy Lover, but damnit I was puttin' a hurtin' on my eardrums and my speakers today when that ditty came over my airwaves.

Some news, thanks to www.stereogum.com Dave Matthews Band and Coldplay have made new Storytellers, this being Dave's second, and possibly the first with a cover. If they play the entire setlist, Dave will tell us his inspiration for All Along the Watchtower, in probably a way much funnier than any joke Dylan could tell. I love you Bobby but you ain't funny.

I guess I missed a Gene Frenkel appearance with Queens of the Stone Age on Saturday Night Live as well. That would make that show worth watching. Oh and Happy Birthday goes out to Tina Fey, she just turned 35 so she's getting extra hot now.

Easy Lover--Phil Collins
One More Night--Phil Collins

Loco Motion

Three or more things to cover since my golf rain delay:

I saw this this morning on CNN and sorta forgot because I was in a daze, Kylie Minogue has breast cancer. That's not cool. I really like her, and I'm straight. Her music is good, and she's a doll.

Arcade Fire's massive internet fed hype is just. I like what I hear. Finally I am hearing Funeral on Rhapsody as we speak. I like Interpol and Bowie and New Wave so these guys aren't bad.

Also in the "A" Band section at your (hopefully) non-corporate music store is the Autumn Defense. Cool stuffs there also. John Stiratt's band as a side project from The Wilco.

Speaking of The Wilco you should have known I'd find a way.... The DVD and Live Disc have been recorded and are in post. I'd expect a fall to winter release.

Make it Through the Summer--The Autumn Defense
Radio King--Golden Smog
Ecstasy--Rusted Root

Good Cop-Bad Cop Without the Good Cop

I've got a pretty good run going now. After seeing Spanglish and loving it, I watched Narc last night, and this morning. Not twice, I was exhausted so I found a stopping point and went to sleep. Narc was exceptional. It was one I wanted to see in the theatre because it just looked so cool, and it was very cool. It features two really dirty bad cops, that are ultraviolent. Jason Patric and Ray Liotta in landmark performances. Easily Patric's best since Rush, in my Netflix "Q", and Liotta's craziest since he was getting chased by helicopters. The thing about Narc is, it hooked me in the first five minutes with an amazing handheld chase sequence where the end result is Patric's character shooting at a suspect hitting him and a bystander. The bystander is a pregnant woman who absolutely gushes blood from her thigh. Sounds overly gruesome, it is, and its probably accurate. Its done in a way that feels too real.

Narc is set apart from the other partner movies by having both of these guys be serious. There isn't a Wilson brother to turn this into 48 Hrs. The film is dark, shot dark, written dark and acted with mystery. It's one of those you know whodunit, but how did they do it? That keeps you engaged until the fall happens.

Easily one of the better movies of the cop genre lately.

CNN Sucks Wenies

If you are interested in Star Wars, at all and prefer not to know how the movie will work out.....heed my advice, do not, repeat, do not read anything with a Star Wars bi-line. I just read something on CNN, and I get to like the fourth paragraph and get slammed with spoilers. I am utterly pissed. I am a Star Wars geek and a movie snob so as small as the spoiler was ( I immediately Xed out of the site) it still mattered. It was akin to if I told you Luke Skywalker would have his hand cut off in Empire. It matters and it was a stunning act, but would it ruin the movie, no.

I can't wait until I see "Sith" on Thurs, Fri or Sat. I grew up obsessed and remain wide eyed when I hear the 20th Century Fox Music, and then John Williams score. Color me excited.

Hey, Hey Sake Time

Dudes,

What is going on?

Last night saw the Blue Dogs at a big outdoor happy hour for pretty 30 year olds. Good time. They played their hits. If you like the Counting Crows, and don't know much about the Blue Dogs give them a chance. They're pretty good. Probably my consistently favorite local act.

Tonight, I write following Hibachi style Japanese food. I gotta rip on these places for a few minutes. First: Whoopee you get lots of food. And typically you get high on food, entertainment and rice wine, good. You always have to end up singing a stupid song, especially one about sake Time. I would rather be in a German Sausage Factory singing bar songs and crashing steins into one another. Or down Mexico way slammin' margaritas to some four string ukelee music. Hate the sake song. Whatever happened to good old normal people who like to eat and drink in solitude.

Next thing I hate, and call me a snob, but I don't like the idea that these people flick food all over the place. It's cool when it doesn't hit the floor or the guy at the next trough. You shouldn't have to be in a constant state of Orange on the flying lemon scale.

And let's just talk about the food. How bad is this stuff, that I need it to be soaked in teriyaki then dipped in mayo. It freaks me out to see someone dip teriyaki chicken into "white sauce", and don't get me started on the title. When you're at home do you put mayo on your rice, so why did you do it tonight?

Now don't get me wrong I've done all of the above. I'm not perfect, I just enjoy pointing out the flaws in the system. Funny thing is I keep going back, probably because I am a glutton for punishment, having memorized nearly fifty episodes of Saved By the Bell word for word.

So tonight I sleep with a belly full of filet mignon, shrimp, squash, onion, and rice, oh yeah the freakin' rice. I won't really need to eat again for ten days, got to love America, where you can over eat to the point of being uncomfortable and have leftovers.

Randoms

Heidi Klum married Seal, and he goes down in history as one of the luckiest guys ever. Hank Azaria is still the luckiest guy ever. Second luckiest to Hank is every guy that got shot or something stuck in their head and lived.


So I really thought Katherine Heigel was going to be huge, not fat but like a big star. She has not become anything, many of you have read this bit and are wondering just who she is exactly. Well she was a WB star(?), that is now on Grey's Anatomy trying to resurect a career. She's hot and I figured she'd be somebody. The next Katherine Heigel is probably Emily Van Camp. She too is on the WB and is hot. What I didn't know about Katherine Heigel is her talent level. It must be low, I don't know. Emily's is pretty high. She is the only decent female character on Everwood. So watch out for her, and then seven years later look for my blog about how she fell off the face of the earth only to come back and make a hit ABC medical drama called The Oath, or Hyp Oath.


I need to beach it tomorrow. I haven't had my shirt off in public, but like five times since August. Most of those were this year, and I'm working towards being tan again. I miss being tan. I used to be bronzed though November. Now I'm lucky if my skin sees sun. Tomorrow though, I will sit on the sand for at least two hours hoping for a decent burn to set in.


True to Life, Shaky Ground Uncle Tupelo
Windfall, Son Volt
The Three Great Alabama Icons, The Drive by Truckers

Que?

I've been watching movies on Monday nights lately. Tonight's selection was Spanglish, by James L. Brooks. I got absorbed into this like nothing I've watched lately. This was a really good movie on several levels. The writing and direction were on par with most Brooks films, but what sets this apart from so many like it is the performance by Paz Vega, or Spanglish, as I would say, you gotta know me to understand.

Seriously though, this was probably the best movie I've seen this year since I've seen nothing in the theatre I can remember and nothing better on DVD. If you like family dramas this is totally up your alley. I always liked movies like Ordinary People, The Ice Storm, Uncle Buck, Dazed and Confused, and other family oriented stories. Spanglish will steal your heart though through Paz Vega. She is the most beautiful Spanish actress on film and talented to boot. For a more intense review see...Roger Ebert.

The Revenge of Serpico

So this week I watched Serpico, and Heist. I didn't love either. Serpico was okay. Pretty good cop movie, Al Pacino was good, but not memorable like with other roles. I would recommend it to others if they like Pacino, and good cop/corrupt cop movies.

Heist on the other hand was not a one man show. It showcases Gene Hackman but he is flanked by talented Mamet trustee Rebecca Pidgeon, Delroy Lindo, Sam Rockwell, Danny Devito, and Ricky Jay. Mamet is really good, but this was not. It was full of Mametisms, F-Word, plot twists, and great lines. My favorite: Everyone likes money, that's why they call it money. This is like my fifth favorite Mamet movie, it was just to silly. It's about a theif job that seems to go wrong, but it doesn't because Gene Hackman is so smart. But is he, every turn he seems to get outwitted only to outwit, and you know its gonna happen. It was a lark for Mamet to crap this caper, and part work really well, but editing kills it. You'll see. I can't usually catch continuity problems, but there were three that I found and they all fell back on making cuts.

Anyway, I was chewing gum for something to do.

Switch Broke Cause its Old

Today my local radio station that claims to be alternative has played the following songs.

Nobody Home-Pink Floyd
Corduroy-Pearl Jam
Windfall-Son Volt
I am One-Smashing Pumpkins
The regular Killers, White Stripes, and Jack Johnson, but I was pretty impressed with the list of "classics" they were playing.

While on the subject of radio and classics, my oldies station format has changed. Not necessarily from oldies to anything else, just redefining oldies, or I guess abandoning the name alltogether.
Playlist:
Carry on My Wayward Son, Kansas
Layla Unplugged, Eric Clapton
It's Too Late, Carole King
Boston and 70's Soul
I used to depend on this station for the early Beach Boys, Beatles, Supremes, Shirelles you know the oldies but goodies, Sam Cooke, Sam and Dave, Sam The Sham and the Pharoahs....


Blotter Item of the Week, a 26 year old woman reported her bike stolen. She parked her bike on the curb while she walked in a road to help a stray dog. She escorted the dog to the other side of the road, and looked back to see her bike gone.

Mother Scratchers

Finally Metallica has released the hold they had on their albums for Rhapsody. I'm a closet metal head and couldn't be happier they are now available. I need background music for knitting, crosswords and punching old ladies in the ribs.

Now I only need the Beatles and Elvis Costello. Those are the big hold outs, and I guess Dave Matthews Band, and Jim Croce.

On another front, I'm a little worried about this N. Korea. (or as Monty Burns might say, "Hold it there, there's a North Korea?") I have always been more afraid of N. Korea than well pretty much anything Saddam could do, and knowing now that they are going to possibly test their nuclear weapons freaks me out. I wasn't alive when the US would test weapons to posture for Russia. So this kinda worries me. I still sleep at night but now I've got one more thing to wake me up.

I wish I were more into horror movies. I just saw some snippets from Bravo's 100 Scariest Movie moments. Blood Simple was 73rd. Good stuff, I caddied in a group with M. Emmet Walsh about 12 years ago and didn't know I was in the presence of greatness.
Here is what M. Emmet Walsh has done.

Firecracker

I wish I hated Ryan Adams, and believe me I've tried. He's a jerk, which is kinda cool. He is a nut case, which is kinda cool. We need more bad boys in rock and roll. So to me he is a bad investment, but I think I'm gonna have to take my chances, I just fell neck deep into Cold Roses. Man alive Parker Posey has been good for him. His stuff is better than ever, which I might read tomorrow and think is a gross overstatement. There really are some gems on this album, which is two discs, with a third due in August. Listen to When Will You Come Back Home. Its gorgeous.

Also found Martha Wainwright who as you may have guessed is Loudon III's daughter and Rufus's sister. Pretty good, very Loretta Lynn-ish. GPT is the song to get acquainted with.

Entertainment Tonight

Short but sweet today. I'm enjoying Cameron Diaz's show Trippin' on MTV. I wish I was a more disciplined environmentalist, but sadly I am not. I run the water when brush my teeth and shave. But its really cool, and fun to watch a mix of celebs doing some traveling.

Pat O' Brien is on a Dr. Phil special and is telling all. About coke, phone messages, dead hookers etc. He was on coke and drunk when he left his messages, which he admits to now. He was in the same room with the woman he made sex calls to, oh he's not married to her either.


Gotta watch this, and Idol night on ABC also. Good TV tonight.

New Shtizz

I've started a new blog folks. I am now fighting the war against the words on two fronts. One a pop culture site, devoted to my day to day, movies, music, television, literature (one day when I get magazines to be considered literature) and general media. The newest is sports specific. I figure I need to become more specific with my content. I like blogs that are about the same general subjects. I enjoy writing as I've stated before and this too will be an exercise at making sports more interesting. So as you find yourself wandering through this site check me out at my latest.

www.takingitgamebygame.blogspot.com

Crappy name. I wanted eatmysports.com, but alas it was taken by a man ahead of his time.
Business as usual here though. Idol week kicks off tonight. I can't wait to hear the stuff on Paula tomorrow on ABC. Drudge says there is an answering machine message with some heavy breathing. She really should have hooked up with Pat O'Brein. Both are horrible suckups and addicted to dangerous sex and painkillers. Pat is good on making hot messages, hopefully Paula can filth it up a little now.

Go Carrie and Bo and Vozie. I really want these guys to beat down on Chunky A and Lenin.

Songs I've jammed during this post:
The Donnas:
I Don't Want To Know
Do You Wanna Hit It?
Human League:
Human, I love this song again. It is born anew in my heart. I was having one of those moments where you don't know it but you are singing at the top of your lungs with the windows rolled down. Oy Vey.
