Bill Murray, Star Wars, and Julianne

Just heard a quote from SNL Week's E! special:

One of the guys from the Daily Show (used to be a fake correspondent) was talking about how great Bill Murray's "Nick the Lounge Singer" was:

"Bill Murray just had this incredible ability to take this nonsensical gibberish and turn it into a song. You might call him the original Mariah Carey."

Very funny line. Bill Murray is a genius.

Ooh, they showed a clip of the "Ladies Man" sketch done with Julianne Moore. Apparently, she requested to be written into one of those sketches when she hosted the show. Damn - hot, smart, and she's got a sense of humor. DAMN!

Another dead series

dammit...just found out Over There was canceled. On top of that, "The Shield" has an extra 8 episodes or so this season - but that's probably to finish off the series. I agree that it's hard to keep Vic and the Strike Team out of trouble perpetually, but it's hard to say goodbye to my second favorite cop TV series (The Wire...superior entertainment). Over There, you'll be missed - there was never a moment where I was bored...and any TV show that has Mark John Paul Gossalaer (Don't call me Zack) get his head cut off by Iraqi insurgents - priceless, baby!

Next thing you know, Thief will be canceled, maybe before its first run is completed (god forbid). But damn, F/X has had a run just as good as HBO's pre-"Entourage"...if not better. The Shield, Nip/Tuck, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Over There - hell, I watched "Lucky" and liked it. Starved made me sick, but again, it was a noble failure, which is far more credit than I would give for 90% of the horrible, horrible crap on NBC. As far as I'm concerned - NBC put itself in this position; they had a decade of domination in Thursday primetime, the least they could have done was put some interesting, challenging, innovative programming in the 8:30PM time slot - hell, you could have put snow on the TV on ABC in that timeslot and still pull a few ratings points. Anyway, the Sarge, Doublewide, Mrs. B, Smoke, Dim, Angel and the entire gang will be sorely missed, and remembered, at least by me. Can't wait til you come out on DVD...speaking of that, Showtime, there's no way I'm getting you, so hurry up and get Sleeper Cell on DVD...or actually, god bless Bittorrent... 

UCLA Embarrassed!

Just terrible...ugh. Wasn't even close. Glad I dumped my tickets for $200. Kristin showed the boys how to use SPSS today, thank goodness. Dane Cook is hosting SNL tonight, who the fuck is this? Aren't celebrities supposed to host this show? LOST mug shots make me laugh. hahahaha

This damned Kingdom of Heaven assignment is driving me crazy.

Where's your loyalty?

Should I feel bad? I don't know. I have to admit, I don't feel much loyalty to my grad school over my undergrad, U-M. Had a chance to hit the big game on Saturday, but I am just swamped with so much nonsense. Marketing plan to write for AMR, SPSS for Market Research (this class is a joke), Real Estate assessment project (Sussman rules), figuring out how to fix Kingdom of Heaven for Entertainment Marketing...don't forget the job search (please hire me Harrah's!). I think I am ready to go off the deep end. So all this has conspired to compel me to sell my ticket to the UCLA-USC game (with Aaron's since a pair is more valuable than a single) for $200, initial investment of $70. Almost got an Xbox in the attempts to wheel and deal over the tickets, I am disappointed by the annoying grinding noises my PS2 makes and the long load times...yet damn you Microsoft, you haven't dropped the price of the Xbox yet. Then again, you're probably still losing $$$ on every box, even at $150 - but COME ON! Go Bruins!

I love Pikasa - it makes it so easy to stick pictures in the Blog, and sort photos...
GPS - Thanks to Stephane and Joel I. for the hookup, I don't know what I did before I got my BT GPS receiver and LifeDrive! 

Wei gets fresh with me in a jail cell in Alcatraz

Wei and I love this stuff. The missus will not let me cheat on her, but thank goodness she doesn't consider our favorite pasttime, "gay chicken" cheating. Look at the weird grin on his face. I can't believe it (Wei) actually treats people for illnesses. By "treats" I mean "horribly, horribly misdiagnoses." Something else I've realized is that Wei now only wears dress shirts. I can't remember a single time from my summer where we hung out and he wasn't wearing a dress shirt. Wei, what the hell is wrong with you?

Nice!

Mmmmhmmm. Tasty. Wei is right when he makes oh-so-subtle comments like, "she's too good for you, man." In response: "Kasie clearly wasn't good enough for you, you mainland piece of trash, go back to the Caribbean med school from whence you came."

It's nice to have pictures where the missus isn't angry at me!

Pikasa TOTALLY rules. Download it, even though Google dinged me after the first round for a product marketing manager position! 

Wei is gross. Just totally, absolutely gross.

He is. Just take my word for it. Alcatraz trip, flies swarming all over this boat, but did that hinder his appetite for crap? Hells no! I love you Wei!

You can pick your friends, and you can pick your nose, but you can't pick your friend's noses....

My all too lovely girlfriend during her visit of San Francisco...going WILD at the Sharper Image just off of Union Square... what a fabulous day, the lovely SF summer (chilly as indicated by her coat...er, Amber's coat) and her lovely attempts to pick Yoda's nose.
