Funny As Fuck

Thanks to Netflix I'm currently in the process of burning through DVDs of The Sopranos. I gotta say I love this series for many reasons, but one is probably because I find the word "fuck" hilarious.

Bastards from the Burbs

I got an interesting letter in the mail today. Its from the Village of Arlington Heights stating that I owe them $30 for a parking ticket. Its interesting because A) I don't even know where Arlington Heights is. B) I don't even own a car.

I'll have to give these bastards a call in the morning to find out why the man is trying to hold me down.

Bonor

The other night I saw a U2 Tribute band at the Cubby Bear. First of all, they came on stage dressed like the guys in the band. Ok...fine. Here is the kicker though. Not only did "Bono" look just like Bono (minus a few inches of height) he also acted just like him when he sang. It kind of creeped me out.

Witch's Titty

Winter is now full blown here in Chicago. You know how you get that "brain freeze" when you eat ice cream or engulp a slurpee too fast? I had that same feeling last night after walking only one block. Then, this morning as I left, I checked the weather and it was -1, but the heat index said it felt like -21. Thats cold.

Coffee With the Devil

Ok, when I was half-asleep/half-awake this morning I had an idea. Inspired by Megan and Heather's plan to make a coffee table book of typos found in public places, I thought about something similar.


The difference would be this book shows pictures of the number 666 displayed in public places. Am I the only person that would get a kick out of this?

American Blog

I saw that movie American Splendor the other night. It was pretty good. The way he chronicles his daily routine through comics reminded me of blogging. Thankfully I'm not pathetic and depressing like him. Well...not as much.

Winter Sports Blues

Now that the Super Bowl is over my sports interest is going into hibernation for a few weeks until baseball starts. I'm not very much into basketball, and certainly not into hockey so the sportsworld doesn't have much to offer me these days.

People ask me what I do in the winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring.

Super Snooze

Some notes on the Super Bowl today.

• At first I was excited about Stevie Wonder doing the Pre-Game show, but when they started playing 30 second clips of his greatest hits, I just got pissed off.
• Aaron Neville also pisses me off.
• Dear Mom, don't call just to chit-chat during the Super Bowl.
• The game was so exciting I ended up filling out my 401(k) enrollment form during the 4th quarter.
• Seeing Condoleeza Rice brought back fond memories of when, at the 201, we saw her in attendance at another game and Jon started screaming obscenities at her through the TV.
• Bill Cowher's lips freak me out.
• Adam West's voice in the Taco Bell commercials, and frankly in any situation, makes me smile thanks to Family Guy.
• Jerome Bettis fat jokes are a long-running good time.
  

Happy 23rd Birthday Megz!

The blog would like to wish Meg Brewer a very Happy 23rd Birthday and a well wishing on a speedy recovery from last night's festivities.

As you can see, she loves cereal.

Crunk Transit Authority

I got to watch a drunk homeless guy get kicked off a bus today. Yet another reason why sometimes the CTA is better than TV.

Moth Balls and Rich Chocolatey Ovaltine

While my grocery store is only 2.5 blocks away it's still a pain in the ass to walk if you're carrying 10 bags of groceries. With that in mind I was at the store today thinking about buying one of those little shopping carts that people use to take home. They're often referred to as "granny carts." The nickname kinda scared me off at first, and I wondered if it would be very unmanly of me to buy one. Just as I thought that, around the corner came some guy pushing one. He had big muscles and big tattoos on his arms. If he's manly enough to have one, then I can.

On another note, thanks to all my friends who kept me company during my trip to NC. It was a blast and I wouldn't have traded it for anything.
