Ok, so in celebration of the fact that a.) it is Friday and I get to wear jeans to work (I wore jeans and my UT soccer jacket to my old job EVERY DAY, so I am really happy to be wearing that ensemble right now) and b.) Superbad comes out on DVD this next Tuesday, December 4th; I have decided to put up a Superbad clip.
Michael Cera and Jonah Hill, one of the funniest actors out right now:
8% of all kids have it...

Christmas List - Part 2
I have the feeling that the items I put in the first part of my Christmas List were not taken seriously. This is serious, people! I have some kind of decision-making problem (I can't make them) along with a type of OCD where I have to list absolutely everything until it makes sense to me.
Well, that or I am just plain annoying...
Either way, I have found a few more items to add to the Christmas list. Everyone is going to run into things they want while shopping (either in-store or online), but would rather have someone else give it to them. These next few are those kinds of items - I definitely want them, I just don't want to pay for them!
1. Condoms. No, these aren't Trojans, Durex, or Magnums....(damn), these are amazing. How many times have you been thrown off your game trying to fumble around reaching for a condom wrapper, and then getting it out of the package and putting it on? Me, never, but I don't want to jinx it...
For all of you other George Costanza's out there, there is now the solution. spray on condoms! They are snug fit (for all sizes) and you don't have to worry about packaging. All you have to do is place your penis in a chamber (of a machine that just happens to be where you are getting laid) and press a button that sprays on latex for 20 seconds while making loud hissing noises! Then, when you are done you just roll it off like normal.
...I would like multiple colors, also.
2. Rock Band! Seriously - this game is amazing. I am pretty sure I can sit at home (alone...no one will like me after getting this game) all day and play this game. I know this guy did:

How to top Kanye...101
I wasn't going to post this, but seriously - these girls deserve crazy props for just remembering what words were written on what body parts...and matching them to the words of the song. This is one of the only ways I can think of to make Kanye's (great) remix to this song look like garbage.
Happy Monday! Only a few more days till Thanksgiving!

Christmas list - Part 1
Ok, everyone knows that I am greedy, selfish, and money-hunrgy. Ok, so most people would actually say I am the exact opposite. However, around Christmas time I think we all deserve the exact presents we want.
A lot of thought goes into a really good Christmas list, and I figured I would lend a hand (through blogging - I am not actually going to help you do anything physical, especially moving) by providing a few things that I want - because I know they are items that your loved ones will want as well.
1. wakeNbacon. Honestly - who wouldn't want this gift! It is amazing. It is a wooden pig-shaped clock, and it wakes you up, not with an annoying sound, but with hot and tasty bacon (well, as hot as two halogen lamps can get it)! Plus, you try hitting snooze on that thing - a burned hand would definitely make me wake up faster than a damn beeping noise!
2. The Vulva Puppet (as seen on the Tyra Banks show)! If I would've owned this thing a little earlier in life, so many questions would have been answered...and so many more ladies would have been satisfied. I think it is important to have classy, inteligent toys laying around the house so when people come over they know how smart you are. If this toy doesn't scream 'There is no jack-assery going on in my apartment," I don't know what will!
3. Aqua Dots Not only does this toy look like a lot of fun, but it was named "Toy of the Year" earlier this year! Perfect! That is one helluva deal.
Not to mention - I have no idea where to actually buy real date rape drugs...

I am addicted to Facebook
For those of you who actually know me, you are very aware that I am addicted to Facebook. For those of you who don't - if you didn't get that from either the title or the first sentence, maybe you should click "next blog."
I think Facebook knows more about my life than most of my friends. I keep my status constantly updated. I upload every single picture from my nights/weekends/vacations. I write on others walls and via facebook email. I let facebook know each and every event I will be attending. I even have my myspace and blog address on facebook...two sites that most don't even know exist!
But the worst part is that I am on at least 6 out of the 9 hours a day that I am at work. I included the lunch hour. I just can't get enough...it isn't that I don't log off...it is just that I constantly log back on every 10-15 minutes.
I don't like the new applications, I think the mini-feed is the new way to stalk people (negative connotation, if you didn't catch that), and I am still not 100% on opening the site up to the public - but even with these negative features, I still can't get enough.
Sometimes, yesterday in particular, I have long facebook email conversations that are more like IM's, because a few of us (usually 3 to 5) just continue one long thread conversation for hours talking back and forth with each other. You can't begin to understand how much more occupied at work that makes me! Not only that, but it keeps me highly entertained.
I thought by writing this all down it would make me want to stop logging on Facebook as much, but it is actually making me want to end this blog and go right back to writing on my friends walls. Damn.

Actors are real people too?
Like I said in my previous post, I completely support the WGA strike and think the writers deserve a hefty pay raise! They make the shows we love good. Period.
AND - I am very happy that the actors are out picketing with the writers! It gives them star power and much more media attention...which is needed to make this strike effective.
BUT - no lie, it is a little weird for me to see some of my favorite characters on tv out there picketing and being normal. What I mean is that I think of Ellen Pompeo as Meredith Grey, Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Elaine, and Tina Fey as...well, shit. Bad example.
You get the picture. And if you don't, I have provided a few below.

Why We Strike
I am sure by now everyone has heard of the Writer's Guild of America strike that is taking place in Hollywood....and in case you haven't, maybe you need to turn on your tv and realize that there is a reason why your late night tv is all reruns this early in the season. I think one of the best/most fun jobs in the world would be to write for either a sitcom or a late-night television show. Most people I have spoken with about this topic also agree with me...
Until they hear about the way the writers are treated and how they get completely shafted in their contracts.
Currently, the writers (aka the brains behind your favorite tv shows) are receiving next-to-nothing for DVD sales, and nothing for internet episodes (either on network websites where they sell ad space or itunes where the episodes cost money to download). More people are watching tv shows online because it is faster and easier than waiting for it to either come on tv again or waiting to own it on DVD. Without the writers there would be no materials to sell online, because the clever/witty dialogue that moves the show along wouldn't be there - but yet, they are seeing absolutely no residuals for their work, which is making studios millions.
I am in complete support of the strike, and though I will be very disappointed if some of my favorite shows (Grey's, The Office, Scrubs, Heroes, How I Met Your Mother, etc) don't actually get to finish out their full season because there is no one writing scripts, I think it is necessary to give the writers what they deserve.
If this strike lasts until mid-January almost all of our prime time shows will run out of episodes that have already been shot and be forced to end their seasons early. This means that in the final season of Scrubs there won't even be a series finale! It will just end at mid season, leaving viewers upset and disappointed. Tim Kring, the producer of Heroes, said he had to change the ending of the show's 11th episode (the last that has been shot to date) simply because it might be the last one to air this season at all....
I hope that everyone that reads this will go to http://unitedhollywood.blogspot.com/ to read what the writers are saying and to look over the YouTube clips of some of the actors from your/my favorite shows helping out the cause and picketing.
If you think that the writers are being greedy, or do not deserve the benefits that the station owners owe them from the profits of the show - then you are an idiot.
*And watch out - the Screen Actor's Guild contracts are up in June 2008 - they will undoubtedly want the exact same residuals that the Writer's Guild are asking for...so don't be surprised if you see much more picketing in 2008.

WE WON!
We won the trivia championship last night! The Batwing is now 2 for 2 in trivia championships - that's right ladies and gentlemen.....back to back victories! The only team to win Plucker's trivia in 2007!
The most dramatic win to date.
Trailing by 3 points going into the last round, they start calling out the winners. 4th place. 3rd place.
2nd PLACE (they announce the point total before the team name)....when we hear that we were not in 2nd, we knew!
1st PLACE - THE BATWING! We took jagerbombs. Drank 34oz mugs. Sang "We are the Champions"
It was glorious.
Now I am exhausted from drinking all night.

I had the time of my life....and I owe it all to youuuuuuu
Chicago was amazing! I don't even know where to begin... Me, Adam, Weston, Heather, and Julianna went to visit our friend Noor in Chicago for the weekend and I don't think the trip could have been any better. Well, If Julianna wouldn't have lost her ID and credit card the first night that would be nice.
Oh, and if Weston's luggage wouldn't have gotten lost on the way back home...
But other than those two things - it was perfect! The weather was amazing (it was supposed to snow, but instead it was between mid 30's and mid 60's the whole time). We got to be cheesy tourists, and none of us were too cool to take cheesy touristy pictures. There was even a 5am co-ed wrestling match!
Much alcohol was consumed. Strangely enough, not too much money was spent. Miles upon miles were walked all around downtown and the beach area. ANNND - there was a lot of singing "The Time of my Life" in the voice of Herbert from Family guy. I can't think of a better vacation.
Plus, we all decided to get a group together this May/Summer to go to Vegas. THAT is when it is going to get nuts!
Now for tonight: it is finally here! The championship round of Plucker's Trivia is tonight. The qualifying rounds have been going on for the past 3 1/2 months and our team (The Batwing) qualified the max number of times (2) very early on in the season, so we are a little rusty.
The winner gets all you can eat and drink for 25 to watch the UT v A&M game the day after Thanksgiving. We care more about the bragging rights...and the all you can drink! I really hope we win! We won the last championsip and this time the team is me, Steve, Brad, George, Dusty, and CJ - so wish us luck!
If we don't win, I will be very angry. I passed up a FREE ticket to the Heat v. Spurs game tonight in San Antonio. The seats are directly behind the Heat bench.
I wanted to yell "KAZAAM!" at Shaq right before he goes onto the court...
*Because this post had a lot of my vacation info in it (which none of you care about), I have decided to add a picture of Evangeline Lilly from KassyK's blog that I think is outrageously attractive..but can't really tell why. Maybe it is because she is dressed for cold weather, and I just got back from the cold...but probably not.

Update...because I have nothing better to write about
A lot has happened since my last post so, per usual, I figured a list would be the best way chronicle these events.
1. Boston Red Sox won the World Series!!! Everyone knew it was coming...there is no way any team could continue a streak as hot as the Rockies. Too bad they couldn't win just one game so the Sox could have finally won on their home field.
2. Halloween was last weekend/last night. I usually get pretty excited about this event every year, but for some reason no one was really into Halloween as much as the past. Not sure why. If one person says it has anything to do with growing up I will personally come to your house and hurt you. I saw a picture from Dallas where these 50+ year olds were dressed as the robots from Flight of the Conchords. "It was the distant future....the year 2000." Awesome.
3. Arjewtino shaved his beard
4. Neither my scrubs video nor my "Brohemian Rhapsody" videos were taken off of the internet....first time for everything, right?
5. My internet started working properly again, and I played 3 straight hours of uninterrupted Halo 3 with Paul. *Knock on wood so I don't jinx myself on this one*
6. I leave for Chicago in less than 24 hours and I have no idea what my friends address is and I am not packed. I have a lot to do before I head out to the airport early tomorrow morning...probably should get on that. Me, Weston, Adam, Heather, and Julianna are going to have a great weekend in Chicago visiting Noor.
7. Shea had to evacuate. Those damn California fires! Did you know that some little kid admitted to actually starting one of the major sections because they were playing with matches? He deserves and ass-whooping.
8. Robert Goulet died. :( This makes me sad. This also makes me want to shout "GOULEEEYYYY" from the top of my lungs in a Will Ferrel-esque manner.
9. I got paid today. THE most important one on this list.
Ok - so by now you are thinking "Your life is really boring." While yes, this is very true - you were the one that sat here and read it all...which means you have even less to do than me! Ha! That must suck.
