Catching up is hard to do

Current iPhone Wallpaper:
My Current iPhone Wallpaper features LaLa from TikiBarTV, one of my favorite podcasts, that gets updated about once ever 6 to 10 years.
RENT:
Finally got to talk to John again about seeing RENT on Friday. I’m kinda excited, a bunch of us are going, including MJ & Jason. Should be fun, though… it’s weird because I’m sure everyone else has seen it live, but me… nope. Despite the ‘pop culture’ category on here, I rarely watch TV, go see movies, and plays… hah. Now, ask me what piece of software is in the works at Apple or the real occupation of the creator of Wonder Woman (and what he’s even more famous for) and I’m your man.
Work:
Dear god… I put stuff on eBay and Amazon for a living. It’s both the coolest and saddest thing in the world all at once. But at least I never have to hear about people’s bowel movements. Now when people over-share, it’s about the cruise they’re about to go on. So much more fun this way.
Facebook:
I just joined the Nerdist group (which is the fan group for Chris Hardwick’s blog) over on Facebook. Combine that with the fact that I have willingly listed myself as a ‘Star Trek’ fan over there… and well, you can see why I go on so few dates.
The Duh Heard ’round the World

Well, I never would have guessed he was gay. An old lesbian sure, but not a gay man.

Thanks, Shelybean.
Seriously… call me next time.

I’m working on an actual post, but seriously, people. When Britney Spears has a four hour stand-off with police… you’re supposed to call me, text me, send up balloons and smoke signals!
Jordan Catalano Jared Leto wants to kick my ass after class.

I’m officially on Team Elijah now. I have no choice. I know he and Elijah have problems, but I was trying to stay out of it. Even though Elijah gave me a shout out, I thought me & Jordan Jared were cool.
Apparently not: The Dude is stalking me.
I’m about to leave work and Jordan Catalano Jared Leto is standing at the register, wearing a hoodie (with the hood up) with a tshirt over the hoodie and his silver crocs. And he was wearing white socks under his crocs.
Kim has seen him in the store and came to tell me because she felt that I was the only one who would appreciate the fact that Jordan Catalano Jared Leto was in the store. Since we had to tell everyone else in the store who he was, I don’t think Jordan Catalano Jared Leto needed to worry about keeping the hood up.
Kim whispers to me “When I came out of the backroom, I saw him and I wanted to say “Hey! You were on My So Called Life!”
I look at her, and in all seriousness say “You know he has a band right? He’s done other things and all you can think of is ‘Hey, you knew Claire Danes when she had a career!’”
About that time, Jordan Catalano’s Jared Leto’s friends walked behind me.
So… yeah.
Go, Team Elijah!

Oh dammit. Damn damn DAMN.
Heidi Klum is evil incarnate. I’m just saying.
This needed a post all its own…

By the way, Brit-Brit… Justin’s new album is relatively good. How’s k-fed’s album coming along?
We thought so…
An Open Letter to the Media: Please Stop Giving Kevin Federline a Bath.
by aristan on Aug.29, 2006, under pop culture & TV
I opened up GQ this month, flipping through it, getting a contact high from all the cologne samples, and what do I see? Another pictorial of Kevin Federline in which someone has convinced him to shave and wear something other than a wife-beater. This pictorial tried to do something interesting, featuring Federline underwater smoking a cigarette.
You know, the photographer could have been a hero if he’d just applied pressure to K-Fed’s head and held him under until he stopped moving. At least GQ had the sense not to put him on the cover this issue.
Guys, Let’s be serious here. Stop trying to give Kevin Federline a bath.
I know, you want to be the one who makes a silk purse out of that sow’s ear, but at least six other magazines have done that in the last year alone. There’s a whole advertising campaign that is built around the premise that if Kevin Federline were ever to own shirts with sleeves, he would definitely own sleeves from Blue Marlin.
Let’s be honest with ourselves. It doesn’t matter if you give him a bath, or comb his hair, or give him a shave. We all know that the moment he leaves the studio, he’s going to get corn rows and wear flip-flops and socks at the same time. Why do you bother?
Seriously, Guys. Stop wasting the effort on Kevin Federline. Maybe you should spend some time on Jordan Bratman, X-tina’s hubby.
He might not sing, but he makes records that sell…
