Just a bunch of crap

Go figure, you start a new job, blog aimlessly for weeks, partake in the abundance of free food and drink (and sweet baseball tickets), then suddenly you're expected to do work, and actually produce stuff (stuff = marketing reports that you people don't care about). Did I sign up for this? Fortunately, I just met the summer intern this morning, and much like American hero Cosmo Kramer, I think I need to put this kid to work. Moving on...

Monday night, was flipping around prior to Pistons/Heat Game 7, and ran into a very underrated recent comedy, Not Another Teen Movie. Even edited on Comedy Central (and having watched parts of it multiple times prior) I got some laughs out of it. It's not like they didn't have material to work with.

Speaking of movies on Monday night, I flipped by The Ring...
You're expecting a comment on The Ring maybe? There, that was it.

Let's try to some up my beloved Yankees season so far (this is expert analysis mind you):
First 30 Games, 11-19 poop
Next 18 Games, 16-2 sweet
Last 10 Games, 1-9 POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP
These guys are absolutely killing me. The Brew Crew (and my boy Derrick Turnbow) are about to sweep them. The Royals swept them. The fucking Royals. They are 0-22 when scoring 3 runs or less. Ugh I gotta move on before I vomit in my mouth.

I've touched on the Tom Cruise/Katie Holmes thing before, but seriously, have you seen him lately? He acts like he's on crack. Not pretending, but like Whitney Houston on crack. Just bizarre.

I was always a huge Marvel Comics fan as a kid, so I am very much looking forward to the Fantastic Four movie. There, I said it. Star Wars two weeks ago, now a comic book movie.

I think the WB definitely knows what they're doing. Premiering tonight: "Beauty and the Geek". I'll let them explain:
It all starts with seven women who are academically impaired. Next, add seven men who are brilliant but socially challenged. The concept is to pair up couples for a chance to win a $250,000 grand prize. Each mismatched pair competes in various activities designed to test intellect, fashion savvy and even dance moves. There's a spelling bee for the girls, massage lessons for the guys, and an introduction to actual rocket science when the girls compete to see who can build a working rocket. During these competitions, the geek must try to pass his brains onto the beauty, while the beauty tries to pull the game out of the geek. They're so far apart on the social spectrum that they're practically different species, but if they make it to the end, they could both walk away gifted and gorgeous.
Like those two Guinness brewers always say, BRILLIANT!

It's not even a contest, GTB's Bama of the Week Week Week...Sean Taylor. What a jackass.

Here's to you Mrs. Robinson...A moment of silence for actress Anne Bancroft, who died Monday of cancer at the age of 73 (I bet you didn't see that coming). Forget her role in The Graduate - did you realize she was Mel Brooks' wife? I had no clue.

No this intern is a guy...but it's very likely I will be sending him to get me Polly-O string cheese and a Big Bite in the coming weeks.

Send him to get a toothpick from The Dubliner -- NOT THE IRISH TIMES -- you know the difference! Actually, if this work thing still has you unavailable, you may have to send him across the street to keep me company at the bar.
