I watch too much tv

so - I have a huge pet peeve with those commercials for whatever phone that plays music - you know the commercials, there's a person with one of those phones who bounces up to the camera and says something along the lines of "OMIGOD, you've got to hear this new song from " and then he or she puts his or her earphones into "my" ears, then the song is interrupted by a phone call that they "have to take" - I'm endlessly irritated by commercials that try to make you feel like you're there, it's just weird - but the latest commercial grosses me out on so many levels - this sweaty gym-rat guy bounds up to the camera and takes the headphones out of his sweaty ears and puts them into "mine" - GROSS - I don't even like going on a treadmill after someone else, but the thought of sharing sweaty ear buds makes me want to projectile vomit. And, also, I'm irritated by the fact that the commercial is trying to pimp Fall Out Boy's new album... it seems to me that Fall Out Boy has been around for a couple of years or so, but I couldn't name one single song of theirs - I don't even know what type of music that they do, but I've seen their faces everywhere. Contrast this with, Snow Patrol, currently, my favorite band in the whole wide world, I-can-name-that-song-in-3-notes, for all I know, they could be gargoyle midgets who live next door to me and I wouldn't recognize them for a million dollars.

I'm a big American Idol fan - like BIG - like, it-kills-me-to-go-to-derby-practice-on-Wednesdays-because-I miss-it big - I have been since the first season, but it seems like this year, I hate every single contestant - Dear AI producers, the talent pool has run dry, it's time to move on to something else - please.

and in non-tv related news:

here's a couple of pictures I took of the bout night.

and, I'm moving to Texas.

and... yep, I think that's about it...

  • I just did a phone interview with Chris Sligh today. He's just as funny as he is on TV.

  • You have midget gargoyles living next door? All I have is a young couple and a middle aged guy. Maybe Lakeside isn't the freakshow I've been telling people it is aftera ll.
