Hot Chicks with Douchebags. Best site ever.

Basketball’s top ranked 10 year old. Scroll down a little for the video. The article’s a little long but probably worth the read.

Probably NSFW: Ronaldinho lives the great life. The best part about this (well I guess it’d be the absurd amount of torrid sex, if you’re into that) is that he was playing FIFA 06, which he’s on the cover of.

Move.meant ‘Higher’ Video. Gave me goosebumps. But everything does these days.

“When you compare it to today’s standards of what hip-hop is… don’t even call it that, ‘cos that’s, like, an insult. “Today’s hip-hop is just angry, negative music that just makes black people look bad.”

The unfortunate part is that people are mistaking the Black Eyed Peas for hip-hop in the first place.

Enough of that. The more important matter is my recent TV addiction. Summer free time, moving into a new place with Dan, and digital cable (someday I’ll be able to text and that’s when I’ll know that the Future is Now) all amount to me sitting on this couch way too much. So I decided to write about it.

Before summer I was watching a solid amount of Discovery Channel and I tried to keep that up after moving. But it took me a month to realize the Discovery HD channel pretty much repeats the same seven shows all week and has little to do with regular Discovery programming.

I wish I could say I watch Sportscenter (Which is pretty much Baseball Tonight this time of year. Top Plays: catch, catch, catch, homerun, catch, catch), UFC, Big Trucks, and the Rifle Shooting championships all day long, but the manliness level of my daily dosage of the tube is way way down. So here are the top 5 shows of my summer rotation:

1. Good Eats I don’t think I’d watch any other show over this. I just watched an episode about water. Alton Brown didn’t even cook anything. It was riveting.
2. Gilmore Girls Reruns I can’t stand the current state of the show, but ABC family has been airing two episodes a day from Seasons 2 and 3. Just like last summer. It’s awesome, but it’s also nearing the end of the episodes I’m interested in so that’s two hours back in my life.
3. Behind the Bash I rarely ever catch it on, but I have to support my girl Giada somehow. Not going to her book signing is my biggest mistake since showing my brother no NFL2k1 mercy. I can’t support Everyday Italian fully because she isn’t using enough meat in her dishes, but I do support her dressing up and checking out parties with semi-celebrities.
4. Kyle XY My brother raved and raved about this show so I decided to watch it. That was a lie. I happened to be home watching TV the night it premiered and I stumbled upon it flicking between ESPN and SpikeTV. It’s a good show! Please believe me.
5. The Suite Life of Zach and Cody It’s a pretty bad show, but if you watch a bad show enough there’s a chance you’ll get into it. My girl Brenda Song holds it down. She gets an all time pass for appearing with Katsumoto’s son in the Disney Channel Original Movie Homecoming Warrior. One day last month Homecoming Warrior was on the Disney Channel at the same time as the Last Samurai on AMC. This was like the planets aligning.

And that’s that. Speaking of AMC, I think Jurassic Park was the movie of the month for June. It’s gone now, which is probably good for my TV diet because I was probably watching it three times a week.

Try and catch Sportscenter tonight or tomorrow morning to see Diana Taurasi’s dunk attempt at the WNBA All-Star game

(This is from my Xanga but it got a little long.)

Some notes: We don’t ever mess with the small bags of Sourz. The pharmacy joints. You gotta get the supermarket size because the big clusters stuck together are gold.

There are Haribo roulette’s and MEGA-roulettes. Same candy. The normals are good for pocketing. They have half the number of pieces compared to the Megas. Here’s the thing, if you have two normals rolls you get 4 end pieces instead of 2. Get two normals if you can.

I need to invest in Haribo, because they make Fizzy Cola. I’m pretty sure Stock Cars are on their way out (they’re getting harder and harder to find), and it’s a shame because I know not enough people have tried them.

I couldn’t find a picture of the real aussie licorice that trader joe’s and wal mart used to have. The quality went down when wal mart started carrying it so the good stuff is pretty much a product of our memories now.

The Gummi Choco stuff is like $3.99 for a tube (which holds about a small handful) so I can’t even act like I’m coppin these regularly, but I wish I could. Japan’s had the gummi industry locked for years quality-wise. They make toddler-size packages and it’s one of the more frustrating parts of life.

Calling candy-coated licorice ‘Good & Plenty’ is like labeling vegetables ‘meat’.

The UW Hub bookstore used to have mad candy game but they fell off when they ran out of mega-roulettes forever and stopped STOCKing STOCK cars. Bartell Drugs on the Ave has like six aisles and one is dedicated to candy. I want to shake Mr. Bartell’s hand.
