1. I have watched a total of 2 quarters of playoff basketball. Normally, I end up hopping on board the NBA playoffs sometime during the first round. Is it me or has the first round been this flat?
2. Yesterday I opened a lower drawer in my desk that I never used. In it I found a Czech Republic pooper-scooper bag. The bag (unused) has fantastic cartoon drawing of a dog on a toilet, and on the back it has a handy diagram teaching the user how to clean up dog poo. While I can’t read the bag because I don’t speak Czech, I’m sure it is quite informative. I wish I was making this up.
3. The concept of Kaitlyn from RW RR Fresh Meat 2 claiming to be a serious martial arts expert is awesome. I’m picturing her running around like the dungeons and dragons kid in Role Models. On a side note, I am shocked she did not get seriously hurt after her fall in the most recent challenge.
4. How the hell did Shania Twain end up with an entire American Idol episode focused on her music?
(I will admit to googling the following, but allow me a rant…) She has released a whopping total of 4 albums and hasn’t produced anything new in 8 years. She has one legit hit album, and in hindsight that only had two decent tracks with any sustainability. I’m just shocked that Idol would set the bar so low, or they would so grossly over emphasize the impact of someone’s career.
The closest comparison I can think of was how good Tom Chambers was back in the “Lakers verse Celtics” video game. Actually screw it. Chambers triple-pump dunk is more in line with reality than Shania meriting an entire Idol episode focused on her music.
5. The concept of the Raiders “upgrading” from JaMarcus Russell to Jason Campbell is really sad for a Raider fan. They heard the news and for a mili-second were excited to have some new blood at the QB position before they realized, that their new blood is Jason Campbell.
The only positive note- the news allowed me to convince Lisa to name our second son JaMichael.

1. My problem with the NBA playoffs....time of night. Some of these games in Round 1 did not start till like 10:30. I wanted to watch many of them b/c the west coast games seemed more appealing. But no way i could make it though an hour without falling asleep. Hopefully the East Round 2 matchup will provide more exciting games because I think the West games will be boring. Utah/Lakers doesnt sound fun and I feel like the Suns/Spurs will be blowouts in all games by both teams.
ReplyDelete2. Have you done any investigating as to where your desk came from? I hope so. Also it could be a simple prank by a Check person. Think about it, what if you slipped some random American product label into various places on your world travels Someone would find them eventually and probably be baffled.
3. I am surprised Kenny didnt make any comments about her being a dude. And that had to be painful, really painful. Again, why can't there be a place we could go and try out these challenges? Throw in Survivor and Big Brother challenges and of course Wipeout challenges. A small theme park would be good. Sign a wavier. Sign me up.
4. It just goes to show you where Idol is heading. To its end after next season. Fox will give it a go next season with some absurd person trying to play the role of Simon. All the time they will be tanking in ratings because people will watch X factor with Simon. This has been the most lackluster season since like 2 or 3.
And you are right, Shania has not produced that much
5. The fact that I know 3 real raiders fans is insane. I work with 2 of them and they are always talking Raiders. Its confusing. I really dont remember them ever being good, even though I think they made it to a superbowl I saw. These guys are out age. How did they come to be raiders fans? Were they really into gansta west coast rap? I will investigate this weeek.
