Cover Your Heart!

Went to the new Indiana Jones movie, and I wasn't disappointed. I had a recent discussion about the previous trilogy, where I realized that Temple of Doom is probably my least favorite of the three. I still find it entertaining, but it's just a bit hokey and childish compared to the other two. Plus, the others seem to be moderately researched in their subject matter...relgion/history/science all blending together. Temple, however, has bats flying en masse during the day, Hindus practicing voodoo, and Dan Akroyd. The ridiculous makes it somewhat seperate from the other two. Same goes for the new Crystal Skull installment. It's good, but I would say its comparable to Temple as far as the group goes. At least it didn't become the craptacular suckfest that I had expected. And Harrison Ford moves pretty good for a 65 year old man.

So David Cook is our new American Idol. Poor guy, he's got too much talent to be buried by that productionally challenged ogre. Now I don't know what to do with my Tuesday and Wednesday nights.

You Call This Archeology?

My special lady won tickets to see a premier of the new Indiana Jones movie on Tuesday night, so I'll get a first-hand look at 66 year old Harrison Ford doing something besides wanting his family back. At least they got Shia LeBeouf to play a grown-up Short Round.

While touring the city to show some out-of-towners the places we have to live in the RIC, I picked up some new rhymes from The Roots and my favorite named rapper Guilty Simpson. The Roots were my first introduction to indie-rap, so I continue to follow the discography through thick and thin. The newest offering certainly does not disappoint. I haven't gotten a chance to thoroughly listen to the entire album on the whole, but Black Thought seems a lot angrier in his words. I think if you start in the game with a message, and try to reach people through your work, and then 10-15 years later see that things are only getting worse than they were during your freshmanhood, you get pretty bitter in your prime. Luckily Guilty's not that optimistic, he's just a straight thug with killer flow.

Gimmie Gimmie

So thanks to the recent onslaught of commercials and ridiculous wang-sucking reviews, I'm salivating for a new console so I can play some GTA IV. And that's all I can think about. I thought I could stave off, even after playing/watching Army of Two, Dead Rising, Portal and BioShock. But those jerks at Rockstar have done it again. I scoff at my ps2 anymore. Piece of crap.

What the crap is going on in Cleveland?

Just got done watching Idol tonight. I think it's a clear shot for David Cook to win. I also think I need to find something better to do on Tuesday and Wednesday nights.

Can someone please start making jokes about giving this guy a cheeseburger?

Vacation's Over

Well, I have officially returned from the Wachovia Championship, well relaxed and sporting a sweet sunglasses tan on my face. Spent parts of each day following certain golfers or watching certain groups play a single hole. Boo Weekley is now my favorite golfer, and Camilo Villegas has my favorite gallery (giggidy). All in all, a good week and good weather for catching some guys getting paid to play a game that frustrates and captivates millions.

Are you looking to expand your collection of gay t-shirts? Look no further. Click here. My personal favorite is the Fish Sandwich. And I learned a new term, which will probably be used in a drunken stupor next weekend.
