Six Degress of Locality

A little late posting this, but this week's reality TV locals post is now up on SFist.

In the future, everyone you know will be on a reality show for 15 minutes.

It's a Boom!

This week's Tube Tops is now up on the SFGate Culture Blog!

I can't believe it's already Sunday afternoon, hence almost Sunday evening. And hence almost Monday.

No fair!

Spittin' Distance

Have you seen this yet?


Watch CBS Videos Online

I saw this following quote from the movie "Billy Madison" in a discussion on another blog, and had to steal it. It's just too perfect:

"[Mrs. Palin], what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."

Seriously, God have mercy ON US ALL.

"The Economy's In Shambles

...and your 401K is worth 15 bucks. What are you gonna do?"

"I'm going to Disneyland!"

Indeed I am! It's the entertaining equivalent to burying ones head in the sand!

Leaving in the morning, and hoping the traffic in LA will be light because, seriously, people down there can't possibly have any money for gas.

See? There's a bright side to all this!

Weeeeee!

Mommie Dearest

Martha Stewart's daughter Alexis continues to forge a career out of making fun of her mother in a new series called "Whatever, Martha," in which she and friend Jennifer Koppelman Hutt watch old episodes of the Martha Stewart show and mock them ala MST3k. A funny concept, I suppose, but the fact that Martha Stewart produces the show just makes it kind of...sick. Martha and Alexis have supposedly mended all their fences, but I think Alexis still can't stand her mother and is totally getting off on all this.

It premieres tonight at 6pm (and 9pm) on Fine Living, a channel I had no idea I got, but I apparently do.

It's Shelly!

Go read this week's Tube Tops up on the SFGate Culture Blog now! No, NOW!

This weekend instead of taking the class I already took I:

* Went to the DMV and got license plates for my car since the ones they sent were either stolen or lost in the mail.

* Bought a new microwave that turned out to be broken.

* Exchanged a broken microwave.

* Replaced my broken toilet seat.

* Installed a new toilet handle since the old one did not match the silver hardware of the new toilet seat and it was driving me crazy.

* Replaced the spigot on my kitchen faucet so it now has spraying action.

* Finally framed my 1979 sheet of Wacky Package stickers. The frame wasn't an exact fit, but I still think it looks pretty good.

* Had lunch at the Tadich Grill.

* Went to two comic book stores to find the first issue of "The Stand."

* Saw "Burn After Reading" at the Sundance Kabuki. Fancy! Expensive!

Wow. Certainly more productive than sitting in a theater full of undergrads discussing Hitchcock films, that's for sure.
