Back To Reality

So, my vacation video blogging experiment never actually happened. This could be due to one (or all) of the following reasons:

1. I never took the video camera out of the case.
2. It was such an enjoyable get away that I didn't want to be reminded of reality.
3. I was too drunk to get it together.

In any event, I'm back. So what did I miss?

Dead Or Alive?

The gist of this post is so simple and obvious that I would be surprised if someone else isn't already doing it. However, after a brief scan of my inbox an extensive search, I couldn't find anyone else asking you, "Dead or Alive?

The rules are simple, I post a picture and ask the question, Dead or Alive? then you answer.

This week, beaver buster and everyone's fav mom from the 50's, Barbara Billingsley, AKA June Cleaver. So what do you think? Dead or Alive?

Summer Fun Week

Yes, it's vacation time or as Seth likes to call it, "I like boobies and rainbows". We are hitting the road and you are coming with us. I'm gonna whip out the video camera and do my best to capture all the most memorable moments boiled down into easily watched snippits and frequently posted.

Starting Saturday, I'll be marooned on an island with some of your favorite bloggers, including Monkey Daemon, Kitty, and Seth. Also joining us will be Kelly.

I'll do my best to frequently post but as I plan to be too drunk to even remember what a USB plug is let alone where it goes, don't expect much.

The Clone Wars Are Coming!

We are just a little more than a month away from the premier of Star Wars: The Clone Wars in theaters (August 15). This first-ever animated feature film from Lucasfilm Animation takes place between the second and third prequel movies and will show us more of the battles between the clone army, led by the Jedi, and the Separatists who are under the control of the dark side.  We will see familiar heroes, including Obi Wan and Anakin, favorite villains, such as Count Dooku and General Grievous, all fighting along side of new characters never before seen in the Star Wars films.

And just when you think it's safe to go back to Coruscant, the second wave of Clone Wars will engulf you as Cartoon Network begins airing a whole new set of animated adventures this fall. The TV series will pick up where the animated film leaves off and you can expect more epic battles, awesome action,and plenty of Jedi mind tricks!

You Can't Make This Stuff Up

I have no idea what show was on the TV when I turned it on but I managed to catch this little spippet before changing the channel:

"Heather Locklear got a much needed visit from her boyfriend, Jack Wagner, while she spends time in a an Arizona treatment facility for anxiety and depression."



Hello!? Heather Locklear and Jack Wagner are not only dating, but she is hiding out at Pity Me Pines! That's bad news for all the rest of the nut jobs being treated there because you know Eve Cleary is lurking around in her high school cheerleader uniform just waiting to blow it up.

I think we all know how this relationship is going to end. Heather and Jack will fake their own deaths and pay Thomas Calabro $1 million dollars to keep quiet about it. While the world mourns the deaths of Heather and Jack, the sexy duo will be strolling along a remote beach, hand in hand, listening to Closing Time by Semisonic.

What Do Me, Molly Ringwald, And Abigail Breslin Have In Common?

... We were all on Live With Regis & Kelly yesterday. Ok, so only Molly Ringwald and Abigail Breslin were actually guests invited to sit down for an interview. My boss, the Toy Guy, was also a guest and he was there with a bucket full of cool outdoor water toys for the summer. If you were watching closely, which I'm sure you were, you saw me standing aloof in the background during one of the shots.

I know the question you are dyeing to ask me is where will I be appearing next. I'm currently working on a real scene stealer in which I jump up and down behind the local Albany "news" reporter on location at the site of a fire. If you aren't lucky enough to live in the Albany, NY area, you can head on over to Hometown Hangover and catch my riveting performance as the unloveable Tramp in Bango. Just click here and prepare to be blown away.

pop-o-matic Reviews ... I Survived a Japanese Game Show

Critic's reviews have never influenced my decision to see or avoid something. Thumbs up or thumbs down, five stars, four apples, or ten rabbits - I don't care what someone I've never met thinks. The largest influencers of my viewing consumption are friends and fellow bloggers. In other words, you.

So here is my new review section in which, I'll share my thoughts on something and hope you chime in with your opinion in the comments section. Don't expect anything well thought-out or in depth from me. What you will get is whether I liked it or not.

As the country heads into Summer and the economy heads farther into the shitter, more people are scaling back their vacation plans. Fortunately, the networks aren't scaling back their new Summer programming and my favorite Summer show so far premiered earlier this week. I Survived a Japanese Game Show is an American reality show that premiered on ABC this past Tuesday. The show follows ten Americans, who leave the United States for Japan where they will compete in a Japanese game show. The winner will take home $250,000.



On Tuesday's show, the contestants arrived at LAX, where they thought they were about to take part on a typical reality show, one where someone ends up with a rose, a ring, or ring worm. They were picked up at the curb and immediately driven to the international gate and put on a plane to Tokyo. They barely had time to introduce themselves to one another when they were thrust onto the set of a rowdy and insane Japanese game show where they will compete against each other each week.

If your idea of entertainment is watching people willfully humiliate themselves in front of an audience for money, than this is the show for you. In other words, I like it! Check it out for yourself Tuesday nights on ABC.

Nerd Alert! Ice On Mars

Last week, the Mars Phoenix Lander's Twitter feed contained the following juicy nugget:

"Are you ready to celebrate? Well, get ready: We have ICE!!!!! Yes, ICE, *WATER ICE* on Mars! w00t!!! Best day ever!!"

Who knew that robots had Twitter accounts?

Super Happy Terrific Products: Summer Drinking

It's that time of year again, when we start dreaming of drinking on the beach rather than drinking in front of the TV. Once again, flip flop fabricators, Reef, have introduced another booze-minded article of beach footwear. Last year the company gave us the Flask-Flop and this year, for all of us beer drinkers, Reef introduces the Fanning sandal - a flip flop with a bottle opener in the sole.


Pretty ingenious but at $60, I'll stick with the old fashioned hand-held opener.

Whoa!

Last night we watched the last two weeks of Battlestar Galactica and boy-howdy, were we blown away! Don't worry if you haven't seen it yet, I won't spoil anything here. Bit if you have already watched, what did you think? And how long do we have to wait until the next episode airs?

This week, Monday. Let the meaness begin!



I'll get things started - Is there anything good about Monday? It sucks! For me Monday begins on Sunday evening when I start dwelling on all the work-related crap I have to take care of over the upcoming week. Then I get even angrier at Monday because it has invaded my Sunday, which is still part of the weekend. Stupid Monday.

Just In Case You Live Under A Rock...

Yesterday, Apple unveiled the new iPhone 3G, which will go on sale July 11th.
This new edition will run on a 3G, or third-generation, network that will allow for much zippier Internet browsing (that's good news for you Turkey). In addition to the faster speeds, the new model also comes with built-in GPS, longer battery life (10 hours of talk time on 2G networks and 5 hours using 3G), support for Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync, new downloadable applications available through iTunes, and a flush headphone jack.

The iPhone 3G also sports a new (and slightly thinner) glossy case in black or white, however, if you want white, you will have to step up to the 16GB model.
You might think that all of these new goodies packed into a slimmer phone would mean a higher price but you would be wrong. The 3G iPhone will retail for $199 for the 8GB model and $299 for the 16GB.

I think I may have just discovered what to blow my Bush check on.
