Hello friends! It's been much too long since I've last written. I really have no excuse other than sheer and utter laziness. I promise I'll try harder in the future. Well you know, unless I find something better to do.
By the way, you may wonder who that man is in the picture above. I honestly have no idea. But he looks so pensive, I thought he'd be perfect to show how hard I thought about all the random things I wrote below...
- I've mentioned it in an earlier entry, but it bears repeating -- My Name is Earl is still quite hilarious. Watch it. Now.
- How I Met Your Mother, on the other hand, continues to suck. Seriously, does anyone like this show? If so, can you please explain to me why? I'm just really curious. Come on, I won't mock you. To your face, anyhow.
- I really want to see the movie version of Rent, but I'm torn as to whether it was the right move to include all the folks who originated the roles on Broadway. On one hand, it's really cool that they're allowed to reprise these roles -- at least you know the songs are going to be kick ass, which is key to the enjoyment of the story. On the other hand, they're supposed to be playing 20 year olds, and I think they are all collecting Social Security at this point. I'm really afraid it's going to be like watching Beverly Hills 90210 towards the very end of its run. Not fun.
- When did Mariah Carey start rap-singing? You're probably reading this and saying, "what the hell are you talking about," but go back and listen to her new stuff like Shake It Off and We Belong Together. See! I like it, I guess, but it makes me think Mariah somehow got abducted like that Elizabeth Smart kid and brainwashed into thinking she was a long lost member of Bone Thugs N' Harmony.
- The 40 Year Old Virgin is one of the funniest movies I've seen in a long time. Yes, I know I'm about 30 years late on this one, but if you haven't seen it yet, see it. If only for Boner Jams '03. I hear The Wedding Crashers is even funnier, true?
- Can you believe my UCLA Bruins are still undefeated? Yeah, me neither, but keep it up boys! All I want is the complete and utter destruction of USC when the two meet on December 3rd. Is that too much to ask? I think not.
- Is it just me, or is Jerry O' Connell one of the most annoying actors in Hollywood? I'm not bothered by his acting, per se, but I really quite hate him when he's just being "himself" in interviews and such. He's so over the top with his antics I just want to strap him into his chair and pound some Ritalin down his throat. There are times when he makes Tom Cruise look sedate. And yet somehow he is engaged to Rebecca Romijn. Go figure.
- Did you know we are now into the greek alphabet for naming tropical storms and hurricanes? We literally ran out of letters, so after Wilma we'd have Hurricane Alpha if it goes from a tropical storm to a full fledged hurricane. Um... yes, I am a nerd.
- I was watching Boomerang today on my TiVo, and it made me realize that there was a time in history when Eddie Murphy was thought of as a sex symbol. Then I thought back a bit further and remembered when he was one of the funniest, edgiest comics alive. Now he just makes Disney movies where he's some sort of absent-minded nutty professor. Again, life is not kind.
- My mom made me show her how to use the CD burner so she could copy a cha cha CD. I really have no joke here other than the fact that my mom steals cha cha music.
- Halloween is coming up and I have no ideas for a costume. Please help me. Pretty please?

You are watching Boomerang?
Dave, I'll have you know that Boomerang is one of the all-time greatest movies. And I'm not the only one who thinks so. Check out the Amazon.com user reviews. In fact, I'll post one for you:
"Robin Givens is underrated as an actress and unfortunately got blacklisted by Mike Tyson loyalists.
But her performance in this movie always makes me wish she had blown up like she was supposed to.
She is feminine beauty and sensuality personified and is exudes the type of womanhood I pursue for myself.
Why everyone went gaga over Halle is beyond me. She was invisible on the screen thanks to Robin's brillance."
Hmmm... apparently Robin Givens does a lot of message board posting these days.
You liked Rent? Even though I saw it onstage starring Neil Patrick Harris, I didn't like the musical. I didn't like the music. Sorry.
Maybe Mariah Carey's hoping to snag Fiddy with her new rapper stylings. I used to scoff at Mariah, but now I think she's really funny, what with her running man dance moves (was it the "Someday" video?), her post-divorce ho-wardrobe, her disastrous movie "Glitter," and her obsession with always posing her face flirtatiously in 3/4 view always on the same side.
She's crazy and cheesy and a poser, but somehow she makes it work! I only wish I could be that hot and crazy when I get to be her age. I think I'm gonna learn to rap-sing too.
I think 40 Year Old Virgin was way funnier than Wedding Crashers, even if Owen Wilson was in it. But I may be be biased, because Wedding Crashers had a twinge of misogyny that didn't sit well with me. 40 Year Old Virgin had a sort of charm with its story of true friendship among slovenly boys who don't know how to deal with women.
Jerry O'Connell is annoying! --It's similar to my annoyance with Kirsten Dunst. They are celebs who are only decent looking need to stop acting like they're the most lovable, cutest thing around. Odd how Rebecca Romijn has a thing for mediocre guys, isn't it? Maybe it makes her feel more secure.
Remember Coming to America? Golden Child? Those movies were HILARIOUS! I remember enjoying those with my family. We'd watch those over any Disney film. And what about his pop song, "Party All the Time"? Maybe that was the end of him. I wish Eddie Murphy was still funny.
As for costumes, do you like characters or concept costumes? And would you do a solo costume, or do you have friends who would go in on a group idea?
If anything, I saw costumes for Knight Rider and Magnum P.I. at Target. If another guy you know wants to do a costume too, you guys could be CHiPS! Or maybe you could be Data from Goonies!!! --SEXY!
Other costume ideas:
Mr. T. just get a bad denim vest, a mohawk wig (or shave your own mohawk) and a lot of fake gold jewelry.
Flava Flav: Get crazy raver hat, oversized clothes, and wear a wall-sized clock around your neck.
(It's ok if you're yellow. You're one shade closer to black from a white person.)
Can you tell I'm watching "I Love the 80s 3-D"?
