the world according to me.
1. I love T.N.T Thursday night basketball even with Charles Barkley sidelined due to being a man. A man that drinks, drives and then tells officers that his plan was to simply drive around the block to pick up some hookers and go to his hotel. Like I said, a man. But mostly, I absolutely love EJ's Neat-O Stat-O-the-Night sponsored by no one. I also cannot wait for All-Star weekend.
2. I am on a HUGE Mountain Dew kick right now.
3. I have done a lot of work and may have tracked down access to an uncut copy of La Noche de los Gatos. The Holy Grail of 4M is so close to returning to its true promised land.
4. Have you seen the infomercials for the new Snuggie blanket? I know you have; they have been playing constantly for about two months and they have put me on suicide watch. Honestly, what the fuck? Are people this lame? Let's take a look at the poem they made for the commercial:
"You want to keep warm when your feeling chilled
Nut you don't want to raise your heating bill.
Blankets are okay but they can slip and slide
When you need to reach for something your hands are trapped inside.
Now theres the Snuggie, the blanket that has sleeves.
The Snuggie keeps you totally warm and gives you the freedom to use your hands.
So now you can work the remote or read a book in total warmth and comfort.
Use your laptop without being cold or enjoy a snack while being snuggly warm."
Great. I use a blanket each and every day while I live on my couch in my cold basement. It doesn't slip and slide. I don't see how it could. Why would a blanket move around, are people performing Broadway acts underneath them? If they were, a Snuggie still wouldn't help because it will slip and slide right off of their legs. Next, do blankets really trap your hands inside? No. It's nice, actually. I can keep my hand under the blanket and keep them warm until I need them. My body temperature amazingly does not drop twenty degrees when I take my arms out to reach for something either. With a Snuggie your hands are stuck in the cold. you can't reach underneath the blanket because your arms are strained into the sleeves protruding from your chest.
I constantly work a remote, read books, use my laptop (duh) and eat plenty of snacks while under my blanket. I am also very warm.
Later in the commercial it mentions how it can cover you from head to toe.
"No more cold feet!"Blankets come in large sizes. I am 6'2" and my feet are covered and then some. Next they discuss how you can walk around in a Snuggie. I can drape my blanket over my shoulders and walk around completely covered. A snuggie will only cover you in the front. There is no wrapping due to the restrictions cause from having your arms in the sleeves. Will your back side not get cold? (It will).
Finally, the advertisement claims that the Snuggie is "perfect for chilly outdoor evenings and staying cozy and warm at sporting events." Fucking for real? It's called a coat. Buy one and fuck off.
The Snuggie Blanket:
Not to be confused with the Snuggie Stable Blanket:
5. I read some disappointing news today that put me in a down mood. Well, the news combined with my entire current life situation. Earlier tonight, though, I was listening to music on my computer at random. There are around 2,300 albums of music available for this random mix. Within a five song span at one point I heard two Reel Big Fish songs: Beer and I'll Never Be. It's quite some time since I have listened to the Fish or most any ska at that. It put a new twist on my feelings over the news. It made me rethink the whole point of music and why my friends and I play it. Now I'm ready for action.
6. The Locale is back, or at least will be back very soon. Look for it, contribute to it, put your thoughts in places other than LiveJournal.
7. Friday the 13th Part 3 in 3D is insanely painful to watch, but an awesome experience that I have been wanting for probably 11 years. I think I will buy the two disc Jason Voorhees documentary release and redeem the free ticket to the F13 remake.
8. Stay tuned for the start of my reviews of all frozen and other pre-prepared pizzas.

Everybody's lookin' at me
Thought by now I'd be on MTV
Or a magazine like Seventeen or Rolling Stone
And I won't be alone with your
Money in my pocket and face on your T-shirt yeah
I'll never be... a rock and roll star
I'll never be... anything, anything at all
