Kenan and Kel...
Heeeeey heeeeey heeeeey, it's the first image from the Fat Albert movie! I so can't wait! I wish they'd put all of the episodes out on DVD.

Check out Photos That Didn't Make the Cut Album #2 for three more fantastic shots, including my artwork from class tonight.

Now Playing: 'New Age Girl'
I'm still not sure how I ended up with so many Britney Spears banners of all things. The first person to make me a new Norah Jones banner will be my favorite person ever. And a Michelle Branch one, too. :) Pretty please?

This Book Will Change Andy's Life is once again up to date. Globalization Day! Graffiti Day! Feet Days! Mean Day! Roots Day!

Eight new photos that didn't make the cut have been added, too. D'oh!

The Brunswick area sure is getting jittery over the G-8 Summit. I'm interested to see how many protesters we get. That and if Senor Bush will accept my invitation to come over for tea and biscuits and discussion.

Bad punctuation drives her crazy. Me too, sister... me too (except on my website, apparently).

Meet the corporate college.

A man was fined $325 for annoying a squirrel. It was probably me.

"A group of property owners thinks there might be a new culprit behind Lake Tahoe's declining clarity: Goose droppings."

Be ready: April 28th is free scoop night at Baskin Robbins. Meanwhile, the 27th is free ice cream day at Ben & Jerry's. So I need to go to Savannah on the 27th...

From this article: "When the vice president and I are alone, it's Colin and Dick."

Is Wayne Brady gonna have to...

Michael Moore's new documentary Fahrenheit 911 has been selected to debut at the Cannes Film Festival.

Smoothie Song
I would like to rerecommend Radio Andy, my very own radio station through Launch.com. Listen to the music I like, rate it for your own station, and have fun!

Warning: Some music may contain explicit language.

No esta aqui!
Now Playing: 'Toxic'
I've added a new little counter of sorts down on the left sidebar at the bottom. Sad, really.

Photos That Didn't Make The Cut #2 has been updated with a ton of 'em. Or about eight, whichever. One that did make the cut would be the one you see there of the new, yet to be named car.

Five by Five has been updated with both the current and the previous Friday Fives. Yay!

In very related to the banner on the left news, the death toll is getting worse by the day.

Matt Groening is making his first ever real animated appearance on "The Simpsons." Or he did a few hours ago, whichever.

You know, the real downfall of playing guitar is the serious issue of guitar nipple.

In a poll of college students, which didn't include asking me, the college kids love that John Kerry. And good for them. It's still an unofficial poll until they ask this college kid though (for the record: Kerry... duh).

Batman and Robin are fighting crime again, but in a bright yellow car! Why can't this happen in Brunswick?

I did a bunch of This Book Will Change Andy's Life entries. And the crowd rejoices.

More catching up next time.

Roses really smell like poo-ooo-ooh

Yeah, I rearranged the place. You know, to go with the new "AO Interaction" goal that's been SO successful so far. Oh, that was sarcasm. :)

Multiple new TBWCAL entries there, and a new Andy-full Five by Five there.

News of the day: surgeons who play video games mess up less.

I never want to read a headline that says Bob Dylan sells panties again ever. Eww. And really, the thought of his face showing up in Victoria's Secret commercials kinda kills it all.

The Hardest Working Man in Showbiz has asked his wife to leave his current tour.

"Simpsons" voice actor Yeardley Smith (Lisa) has her own one woman show. No updates on the voice actor strike.

I have now read it all. Stolen: one lawn gnome. But look at the ransom note! And in a somewhat related story, I give you this story that was actually on CNN.com. Wow.

This just in from New Scientist magazine, which proclaims themselve to be "The World's No. 1 Science & Technology News Service": Teenage lesbians have worst rates of smoking. Very scientific.

Did you know... teeth cells may grow in other body parts.

Wow... that's some hair Pink has going on. I kinda like it.

Here, have a complete version of my fabulous LA Times appearance.

You might've also missed my appearance as an old guy in one of these pictures.

It's kinda fun to Google your name, except when you've done one "listmania" thing on Amazon.com and it shows up on 900 pages.

Andy Fame
Yeah, YOU weren't quoted in the Los Angeles Times!

Flashback to 2002, when I was quoted in the LA Times in an article on... SpongeBob SquarePants. The actual article is subscriber only on the LA Times site, but if you go here and scroll to the next to the last article at the bottom, my quote is one of the highlighted parts of the article.

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, yeah
Mood:  cheeky
Now Playing: 'Lonesome Day' by Springsteen
Angelfire doesn't offer nearly enough mood options.

The banner at the top of the page was submitted by "Anonymous" via a comment thread further down this page. I still think they should anonymously e-mail me so at least I know who they are, so I can think of them as being that much cooler.

Alright, let's halfway launch this new interactive thing. It's not up to it's full power (or full look yet), but here we go... the Andy Online BB! That's right, your very own message board. It's there for you to talk with me and talk with each other. Give me feedback. Let me know how great the latest Book entry was, or how much it sucks because I didn't do it again. Participate in the latest Five by Five. Recommend an album (or a cereal) for me to review. Invite your friends! Let's make this a success!

This Book Will Change Andy's Life has been updated with Day Ninety-Three (Humility Day), Benrik's third Flashmob, and details on my quest to get Books-A-Million to be Book-compliant.

It's a double update in the Five by Five, as I do the Friday Five (sorta) and I give you a rundown of my favorite t-shirts.

Naturally because there's that new banner, the Banner Bonanza (on second thought, I don't like that name anymore) has been updated. You are always welcome to submit a banner! There's plenty of ideas listed on the banner page (well, the second page of it). I'd love some more Norah, and I'd probably fall over dead if someone brought me a good lookin' Michelle Branch banner. And hey, I'm all about Dr. Zoidberg on Futurama these days.

There are four or five new shots in Photos That Didn't Make The Cut #2. Nothing exciting, really. Just as an FYI, there will be no new original Andy pictures for the next week, as I've loaned my camera to the family for use on their vacation. They better bring me something back this time, darn it. :)

And now, the news and links that I haven't brought you in forever. Hence the long entry.

The voice actors for "The Simpsons" are on strike, which could end season sixteen early. They're asking for about $360,000 per episode (or about $8 million for a season), as they currently bring in $125,000 each an episode.

I think the yawning boy behind Bush is great. Bush, and the kid's supposed support of Bush... not so much.

The solution was there all along... police can solve crmes with bananas.

Here's the link I've mentioned to a few people that gives you the names of people in your town (neighbors, at that) and who they've given campaign donations to in your town. It's also an easy way to find out celebrity addresses, if you're a stalker.

X-Entertainment takes a look at the classic action figure that was Krang's body! I had this (and possibly still do in a box somewhere). It was one of the best figures ever.

Here's a nice little article on Tracks magazine, probably my favorite of the new music magazines. It makes me feel really old though, as it talks about the artists in it appealing to "boomers." Strange how I like most of these artists and I'm an ancient 23 (no hair jokes).

Lollapalooza is hitting the road again with a two-day format this year. I do like two of the artists announced (Flaming Lips, String Cheese Incident) thus far.

Friday's Pearls Before Swine is great, if nothing else just because it found a way to get the "mother" comment in newspapers.

Update of sorts
Alright, so I'm behind on my updates. I should've never said big things were coming. :)

The big "interactive" thing is coming. Soon. Next week, when things slow down.

With the exception of the new flashmob that's sitting in my e-mail, This Book Will Change Andy's Life is updated. Check out that bicep! Peel potatoes!
