Carlton Chooses Gloria Estefan in '92


How you know when Super Bowl coverage has gotten out of hand: A story about Gisele's dad's grasp on football is linked on espn.com's NFL page. Really? If Alfonso Ribeiro's five favorite halftime shows are posted tomorrow, that's it -- I'm done with ESPN. No! I didn't mean it! Oh, ESPN...I can't stay mad at you. By the way, Patriots 31, Giants 16.

You won't be "lost" anymore. Count it!


"Lost" is back tonight. Yay! In case you've never seen the show and want to start watching now (or you gave up during the first half of last season when the biggest secret they uncovered was what Jack's tattoos mean), here's a pretty solid, very condensed recap (click on the second video below the player). The clip sounds like it's being narrated by Daria, by the way.

You chose your blog...wisely


I'm so far behind. It's 2008 now, I work in media, and I'm just now starting a blog. Maybe I'm lazy, maybe I'm old-fashioned, maybe I'm stubborn. Maybe I'm all three. And maybe -- just maybe -- some of my friends will get off my back for not being on Facebook or MySpace now that I have a blog. I promise to send out email alerts every time I take a piss to appease you loyal Facebookers, and I promise to make this blog the ugliest, most jumbled-up mess of a page possible to satisfy those of you on MySpace. I may even sell this blog for $10 billion. Well, probably not -- I'd hold out for way more than that.

"So what will you blog about?" you may be asking yourself, only because you feel like you should. And the short answer is, "umm...ya know...stuff." And the even shorter answer (but with a longer explanation) is, "a lot."

I'll try not to bore my readers (all one of you -- thanks, Joey!) with details of my life as much as possible. My life isn't that interesting to me, so why would it be interesting to other people? What I will do is share with you my opinions, insight, and comments on current events. I'll write about hard news, sports, pop culture -- all the stuff no one else writes about. I may review albums or movies. I may rank some stuff ("High Fidelity" is one of my favorite books -- why not?). I may link to articles from other sites that I really enjoyed. I may post a video here and there. But I most definitely will make you hate me more than you already do.
