(Opening Launchcast music break: Guns N' Roses Don't Cry {Original Lyrics})Wow, where on earth have I been? What has happened? Everything, but nothing at all, that's what.
Remember the car accident that my mother was in back in September 2007? Well the affects (sp?; can't ever remember when the usage of affect and effect is proper) have finally caught up to her and now I go to school with her everyday. Whatev. It's all right, a couple of the kids are annoyingly clingy and just have to be up under you all the time while you're trying to work or do something, but they are the best bunch in the school OMG, you have no idea how much I want to jack up, or at least trip some of those kids. Tripping would be the best because some of them are straight thugged out and could probably kill me. (Launchcast music break: Doris Day Shakin' the Blues Away)
I wish my step-dad would stop being such a dick lately.
(Launchcast music break: Richard Gere All I Care About) The NFL Draft was so good last weekend. The Steelers got some real steals in the first two rounds with RB Rashard Mendenhall and WR Limas Sweed (Ben's TALL receiver, now STHU, Snookie, the media is just licking their chops on what you have to say next, so they can blow it out of proportion). They were touted as top three in their positions and they just fell to the Steelers; there was no trading up or anything. (Launchcast music break: "Spamalot" Laker Girls Cheer; always a fave on my mp3 player/cellphone) I'm especially excited about this next season coming up, our offense could be one of the most potent in the AFC, if not the entire NFL. True, Pittsburgh only spent one pick on OL (Tony Hills, OT), but lots of the problems seemed to stem from C Sean Mahan, we've picked up FA Justin Hartwig, used to be the Panthers' C, hopefully he'll be an improvement over Mahan. They also drafted Oregon QB Dennis Dixon, some are speculating he'll be used in the next portion of the "Slash" project, but I honestly don't see where this is going. The other picks were used on defense, hopefully they'll start out on special teams and tackle some-goddamn-body because our ST is horrendous.(Launchcast music break: "Annie Get Your Gun" There's No Business Like Show Business)
(Launchcast music break: Uncle Sam I Don't Ever Want To See You Again) NASCAR has been going okay, Kyle Busch has TWO wins, Denny has one and Smoke has zero. Now their are rumors that Tony wants to leave JGR when his contract is up to drive for and co-own another team (that runs Chevrolet, of course). I'll wait it out, maybe Smoke will change his mind, because I like him with JGR, and starting from scratch is hard (see: Michael Waltrip Racing). NASCAR is in Richmond this weekend (going under the lights!), hopefully Tony can get his first win. Dale Jr. is also looking for his first win, but he's still doing better than last season, where he blew an engine every other race it seemed. (Launchcast music break: "Sound of Music" Something Good)
(Launchcast music break: "Annie" You're Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile) All the shows started back a couple of weeks ago, and it's been pretty decent. Sure I was pissed that this past Tuesday The Riches, Law and Order: SVU, and Women's Murder Club all came on at 10:00PM, but I got around that. They put a VCR in the living room, so I recorded L&O and The Riches on that. Thank God The Riches comes on cable and repeats at 11PM and 1AM, or I would have been screwed the past couple of weeks, but that just had its season finale, so now it's just two shows (again) with same day, same time. I may be done with the original Law and Order (except for the syndicated ones). Green (Jesse L. Martin) left, in the middle of the season (!), and was replaced with Anthony Anderson (would not have even been in my top 20 replacement picks). To me, Briscoe (R.I.P. Jerry) and Green is the best tandem in the show's history. Then we had to get used to Fontana and Green for like 3 seasons (I never really was happy with that), then it was Green and some chick (can't remember her name for anything) for a season, then Green and Lupo (Jeremy Sisto; Elton from Clueless), now Lupo and Anthony Anderson. And the last two combinations in the same season.(Launchcast music break: Bon Jovi I'll Be There for You)
(Launchcast music break: Christina Aguilera Candyman) That was just Tuesday's line-up, Thursdays are a bit more interesting. Ugly Betty came back pretty strong, but of course my main concern is Lost (bestshowever). With Grey's Anatomy as the lead in, Lost's ratings have been pretty good that way. And it doesn't have to compete at all with American Idol (worst show ever). Last night's episode was all right, but Jack-centric (especially Kate heavy ones) are boring due to overexposure. I'm so through with Sawyer(hot)/Kate/Jack/Juliet, there are a bunch of other people on the island, spend some flashes on them. Last week's with Ben were AWESOME! And I'm very excited for next week's episode, but I usually am. (Launchcast music break: "Bells are Ringing" Just in Time) Ugly Betty is pretty good, I can't believe it but I'm starting to warm up to Gio. I still hate Charlie and it's all her fault, but she goes into labor next week and I'm sure Henry will be going back to Arizona (or wherever) with her, hopefully he pops up from time to time. Too bad the dentist Charlie started to cheat on Henry with wasn't black or something, I'm still grasping onto any straw where this baby won't be his.
(Launchcast music break: "Mame" Mame) Ever since the last time I've been on, I've had about a million (okay, more like 4 or 5) different "old is new" favorite song and a couple new favorite movies. The first, I think, favorite song was the title song from the British musical show "Me and My Girl", it's so beautiful! I love that song. Doing some research, I've found out that the musical was first performed in 1934. My favorite version is from the 1981 West End revival with Robert Lindsay and Emma Thompson (I had no idea that either of them could sing, but they have beautiful voices, especially Robert Lindsay). The second one is from the musical "Victor/Victoria" Le Jazz Hot is amazing, especially with Julie Andrews singing, I keep watching it on YouTube like crazy, that's also one of my new favorite movies. I love it, but like always, once I catch the whole thing and like it, it completely disappears. I'll be on lookout for it the next time I go to Best Buy or something. (Launchcast music break: "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" Great Big Stuff; love this song, it's hilarious "I want some really classy shit!" And who doesn't) I also finally got to see Ratatouille a couple of weeks ago, it was really cute. I didn't buy the DVD because I got shafted on Cars. They released Cars, then a year later they released a "special" 2-disc version, when most of the Pixar DVDs were 2 discs to begin with. I think they did the same with Ratatouille, nothing on the package said 2 discs, so I'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop. Disney is so inappropriate. Their next film looks promising, at first I was a little apprehensive about seeing a movie about the last robot on earth, but after seeing a sneak-peek of it, WALL•E looks like it could live up to it's Pixar predecessors.

(Launchcast music break: The Boy from Oz Everything Old is New Again) Another movie I really got into is Marie Antoinette with Kirsten Dunst. It's not the greatest film, but for some reason I find myself watching it a lot. For one thing the soundtrack is pretty good, a couple of the songs I had to look up on YouTube just to see if they were there (Fools Rush In by Bow Wow Wow and Whatever Happened by The Strokes). I can't explain it, but I can't stop watching it if I happen to catch it on. I also keep watching Evita, it's better than I remember, but I don't remember watching it but once over a decade ago (can't believe the movie is that old). The movie absolutely ensnares you; I've started watching the movie and have easily seen an hour or more slip by and it doesn't even feel like it. My favorite songs from Evita are mostly all of them (most of the dialogue is sung, very few spoken words in it), but the ones stand out are On This Night of A Thousand Stars (absolutely lovely song), Buenos Aries, Goodnight and Thank You, Hello and Goodbye, Peron's Latest Flame, Don't Cry for Me, Argentina, Rainbow High, And the Money Kept Rolling In (and Out) and Waltz for Eva and Che.

(Launchcast music break: "42nd Street" Audition) I miss my Snookie (not the fish, who is still hanging in there and not as crazy anymore, by the by)! I can't wait, MINI CAMP IS HERE!!! OMG, I had the craziest dream about him the other night, I was basically trying to sex him to death (that's a really nice phrase). I kept jumping up in his arms (in my dream, I was thin) and tried to get it at any chance I could. It started to get to the point where I was wearing him out. Oh, if only. I had trouble sleeping last night because I was just so hot for him. He's been keeping himself busy and out of trouble; through his foundation, he places K-9 units with police departments, mostly around Pittsburgh, but also in every city the team plays in. I say all this just to set up the obligatory photo:
Oh, I lust him so. (Launchcast music break: "A Chorus Line" I Can Do That)
I guess that will be it for me for some undetermined amount of time.
I'm phasing.
