Holy Moses! Alex Trebek is SEVENTY today. I had no idea he was that old, he looks pretty damn good for 70.



Happy Birthday, Alex! Kiss me.

Old adverts are funny.

BMI

July 19, 2010

According to my BMI, I am about 5 pounds away from being "obese".



I'm well aware I'm overweight, but obese? Crap. This little tool says I have to lose about 45 pounds to be "normal". So, I'm either cutting off my right leg or my left buttock.

BMI is fun because most athletes are calculated as "morbidly obese". It's also easy to see how the more than 60% of Americans are obese, since wearing size 34 pants and medium shirts is obese. Meh.

Still, I'm fat. No beer or snacks until vacation (5 whole days!).

Me, age 33:

The Lonely Island - Boombox
This song is brilliant. It's perfectly stupid, features the term "boiled goose", and then enters "genius" territory by adding Julian Casablancas to sing the chorus. Makes me laugh everytime I hear it (this may change in 3 months).

My Robot Friends - Robot High School
This song came up on shuffle and I was like "huh? I downloaded this? Ok..." Then it turne out to be the best thing ever. It has all the ingredients: Robots, heavy guitar, bad synths, and no metaphor whatsoever.

More bitterness from Cleveland, Fox Sportsnet's Andy Baskin writes what it was really like to cover Lebron, from high school to present day.

The article sounds like sour grapes and is mean-spirited, but Lebron brought it upon himself. Cleveland's been shat on so much, I'm glad that we're finally standing up for ourselves and saying "Wait a minute, dickmouth - you owe us an explanation and an apology!"

Kicking us in the other nut is Z signing with Miami; But that's more understandable, he was on the bench nearly all season for the Cavs, I'm sure that's not how he envisioned his final years in the NBA.


Great Lakes Brewing Company has a limited-edition beer called "Quitness". This is a brilliant marketing move!

Betty White still loves us.


Josh Cribbs decided he's not a dick.



This could be a turning point for Cleveland - when the city finally says enough is enough... at least until the Browns go 3-13.

20Ten

Prince is so fucking cool.



His new album 20Ten was released across Europe this weekend. I found an illicit copy of it, and wham-a-lam, it's awesome. Perfect for summer.

More shots from his Paris gig here.

This is so far my favorite song of the summer: "Let's Get Lost" by Bat For Lashes and Beck.

Let's Get Lost

The song can be found on the soundtrack to the new Twilight movie, Eclipse. The soundtrack is very very good, on par with the previous movie's music, I haven't decided if I like it better yet.

Anyways, the song is perfect. It's got that summer-nighttime feel to it, makes you want to make out or drink beer, or drink beer while making out. Or making beer. When Beck comes in on the second verse, he sounds like a ghost, it's awesome. I love heavy echo in songs, it makes it sound like they recorded it on top of a mountain on a cold summer night. Glorious.

The Twilight movies suck, though. I couldn't follow what was going on at all, it's basically just people glaring at each other for 90 minutes.

Happy Birthday to Liam Meade, who turns the big 2 today! Why, it seems just yesterday I was changing his diapers. Oh wait, it was.

Smashing Pumpkins

July 7, 2010

The Strak and I watched The Smashing Pumpkins rock the House of Blues last night, and what a show it was! Extra-super loud, tons of fuzzed out guitar solos; He played plenty of classics, and hell, even the new stuff was pretty good. Also, his new bass player is (well, from what I could see.) The guitar player looked a tad out of place, but, whatever, he was good.

Annoying was the guy next to me who kept yelling "PLAY 'ROCKET'!!!! PLAY 'ROCKET'!!!", apparently not knowing how concerts work. I'm sure Billy was just going to stop and think "Hmm, he's right, let's skip the setlist and play 'Rocket' for this hipster over here." (Also, why does every annoying hipster have a beard, glasses, and a plaid shirt?)

There was also a huge muslce guy on the balcony with no shirt on. Ugh. And his girlfriend was real hot and of course loved him, even though he looked like an idiot. The best part was Billy called them out for being stupid.

Another thing I noticed was that Billy Corgan is gigantic. He must be 6'5" or something, and his hands are enormous. The guitar looked like a toothpick in his hands.


On the RTA rapid home, this really drunk 16 year old chick called me ugly and said I looked like Big Bird. So, ya know, I got that goin' for me, which is nice.


Me?



Every guy at the concert.

Sex Slide 2

July 1, 2010

I bought some paint and covered up some of the more obscene graffiti on the playground that Liam and his friends frequent.

However, those hooligan kids were quickly back at work... and apparently one of the 12 year old girls has a crush on me.



I must say this time the graffiti was actually funny. Writing "fuck" on something isn't funny, but writing "nipples" is, for reasons I can't explain. Someone took the time to write "nipples" on every pole on the jungle-gym - that's just awesome. I didn't get a good picture.

This one was just confusing, I'm not sure I understand. The only thing I could think of was rectal bleeding, then I felt bad because no 12 year-old should have to go through that.



This one was nice because the of the attention to detail. I find it interesting that when people draw dicks, they're almost always from the point of view of looking up at it. I had to explain to Liam that it was a picture of a snake with hairy legs.
