<p>My Current iPhone Wallpaper features LaLa from TikiBarTV, one of my favorite podcasts, that gets updated about once ever 6 to 10 years.</p>
<h2>RENT:</h2>
<p>Finally got to talk to John again about seeing RENT on Friday. I&#8217;m kinda excited, a bunch of us are going, including MJ &amp; Jason. Should be fun, though&#8230; it&#8217;s weird because I&#8217;m sure everyone else has seen it live, but me&#8230; nope. Despite the &#8216;pop culture&#8217; category on here, I rarely watch TV, go see movies, and plays&#8230; 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&#8217;s even more famous for) and I&#8217;m your man.</p>
<h2>Work:</h2>
<p>Dear god&#8230; I put stuff on eBay and Amazon for a living. It&#8217;s both the coolest and saddest thing in the world all at once. But at least I never have to hear about people&#8217;s bowel movements. Now when people over-share, it&#8217;s about the cruise they&#8217;re about to go on. So much more fun this way.</p>
<p>Facebook:</p>
<p>I just joined the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=47902618029">Nerdist</a> group (which is the fan group for<a href="http://www.nerdist.com"> Chris Hardwick&#8217;s blog</a>) over on Facebook. Combine that with the fact that I have willingly listed myself as a &#8216;Star Trek&#8217; fan over there&#8230; and well, you can see why I go on so few dates.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m officially on <a href="http://www.malbela.com/hobbitsareveryverygay/">Team Elijah</a> now. I have no choice. I know <a href="http://www.bestweekever.tv/2006/10/26/sizzler-gollum-leto-hates-hobbitses/">he and Elijah</a> have problems, but I was trying to stay out of it. Even though <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/aristan/38893768/">Elijah gave me a shout out</a>, I thought me &#038; <strike>Jordan</strike> Jared were cool.</p>
<p>Apparently not: The Dude is stalking me.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m about to leave work and <strike>Jordan Catalano</strike> Jared Leto is standing at the register, wearing a hoodie (with the hood up) with a tshirt <strong>over</strong> the hoodie and his silver crocs. And he was wearing white socks under his crocs.</p>
<p>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 <strike>Jordan Catalano</strike> Jared Leto was in the store. Since we had to tell everyone else in the store who he was, I don&#8217;t think <strike>Jordan Catalano</strike> Jared Leto needed to worry about keeping the hood up.</p>
<p>Kim whispers to me &#8220;When I came out of the backroom, I saw him and I wanted to say &#8220;Hey! You were on My So Called Life!&#8221;</p>
<p>I look at her, and in all seriousness say &#8220;You know he has a band right? He&#8217;s done other things and all you can think of is &#8216;Hey, you knew Claire Danes when she had a career!&#8217;&#8221;</p>
<p>About that time, <strike>Jordan Catalano&#8217;s</strike> Jared Leto&#8217;s friends walked behind me.</p>
<p>So&#8230; yeah.</p>
<p>Go, Team Elijah!</p>

		<title>An Open Letter to the Media: Please Stop Giving Kevin Federline a Bath.</title>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>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.</p>
<p>You know, the photographer could have been a hero if he&#8217;d just applied pressure to K-Fed&#8217;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.</p>
<p>Guys, Let&#8217;s be serious here. Stop trying to give Kevin Federline a bath.</p>
<p>I know, you want to be the one who makes a silk purse out of that sow&#8217;s ear, but at least six other magazines have done that in the last year alone. There&#8217;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.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s be honest with ourselves. It doesn&#8217;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&#8217;s going to get corn rows and wear flip-flops and socks at the same time. Why do you bother?</p>
<p>Seriously, Guys. Stop wasting the effort on Kevin Federline. Maybe you should spend some time on Jordan Bratman, X-tina&#8217;s hubby.</p>
<p>He might not sing, but he makes records that sell&#8230;</p>
