Potent Potables

One of these days I swear Alex Trabek is going to freak out and start pummeling Ken Jennings.  I work too late most days, so someone be sure to tape it for me.  Also, I should start a pool to guess which rapper namechecks K.J. first.  It'll probably take a good six months, but let me know if anyone hears anything.  But, for the life of me, I can't come up with a single decent lyric.  ("You've got more questions than ken jennings..."???  But what rhymes will jennings?  But it doesn't have to always rhyme anymore, does it?)

Hamburger Helper double cheese pizza is the greatest.  As the second helping is always better than the first, because it thickens some.  Mighty tasty.

The first Fiery Furnaces album is better than their latest, I've decided, but the cover art isn't as good.

What Franz Ferdinand (the band, not the arch-duke) were thinking before they wrote 'Michael':  "Hey, lets record some forced homo-eroticism and it'll be a hit in gay bars and we'll be rich.  Niche-marketing, baby!"  It makes me roll my eyes.

The star of "Scrubs" has written, directed, and starred in a new movie called "Garden State", which comes out next month.  It's actually gotten lots of glowing reviews, and I'm looking forward to it.

I may see "Coffee and Cigarettes" this weekend, but maybe something else.

I have a subscription to Spin magazine until the end of 2006.  Don't ask me how it happened.  But the past few issues they've featured a rambling essay by Dave Eggers.  How cool is that?  Awesome writer, terrible hair.  I saw him read a couple years ago in town.

I've got another two weeks of dsl access, and that's it.  So if someone knows of any amazing records to download, please let me know.  I'm unsure of the future of this blog as well.  And what in the hell am I going to do about porn?!

I've been buying a lot of wine lately, but most of it has been crap.  What's cheap and good?

Today I got a clinic bill for $150.  But, you say, I don't remember you saying that you've been ill recently.  Have you been keeping something from me?  Well, no, because this bill is for a fucking year ago!  I thought I was off the hook, didn't receive anything and that money is long gone.  Where's the statute of limitations for these things?
