Crowded House - She Called Up

Here's the latest video from Crowded House. Can never go wrong with cute kids. Good tune. One of the few up tempo songs on the new record Time on Earth.

Why does Amber hate Jews?

Meet Amber...the whiny pain in the azz that caused CBS to censor its evicted contestants. EW has the story:http://popwatch.ew.com/popwatch/2007/08/the-cone-of-sil.html#more

72 Smoke Free Hours

3 full smoke free days under my belt and so far so good. I've not killed anyone. Not even been tempted. But I reserve to right to change my mind as the day progresses. I figure I've already saved at least $13 by not smoking. My sense of taste has already returned in full. I can't shake the taste of the wicked onion I had at Unky Rory's yesterday. My sense of smell has rebounded somewhat. Feels nice to be smoke free. Lets see how long I can go.

Great point brought up by Unky Rory yesterday...who replaces Jerry Lewis on the MDA telethon when he dies? Regis would be the ideal pick but he's old too. Dick Clark? Older and hard to understand post stroke. Ryan Secrest hosts everything but I don't see him doing it. My pick? Jay Leno. He's gonna be out of work in two years.

Not everyone took the government's hush money on 9/11. Now some of the lawsuits are making it to court:http://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/04/nyregion/04cases.html?_r=1&hp&oref=slogin

OSU looked like crap on Saturday but at least they didn't go the way of Michigan. Of course, if you didn't have the Big 10 Network then you didn't see it...so if you didn't see it, did the upset really happen?

More Crap as it happens.....

Flight of the Conchords- I'm Not Crying

One more Conchords video...from the pilot ep...I'm not Crying..its just been raining...on my face.

Flight Of The Conchords - Frodo, Don't Wear The Ring

Flight of the Conchords just wrapped up its first season. It was far and away my favorite scripted series of the summer. Here's the Lord of the Rings spoof of Frodo, Don't Wear the Ring.

Star Wars Smoking PSA

59 hours..no cigarettes. Didn't even smoke when Unky Rory fired up sweet tobacco today. The big test will be Tuesday when its back to the stress of work. I'm amazed my head hasn't caved in but then there is always tomorrow.

Smoke Free for 26 Hours

I've been grouchy and short tempered but I'm shocked that my cravings to smoke are already lessened. F'ing Yul Brynner's fault.
