I Am The Walrus!!

First off - congrats to Nate and Martine on the arrival of a son Caleb!

It's been a bad week for people with a "shady" past....

• New York Governor Spitzer (as in "Spitzer Swollows") has to resign after $80,000 was spent on prostitutes!?!?!?! That's a lot of cash to spend on a prostitution fetish... Again, proves that those in government live at a financial level not reflective of the bulk of the people they are supposed to represent.
  
• David Hernandez was "stripped" of his chance to win Idol last night! But by the fans of course, not by getting booted off by producers.
• Bob Knight was on ESPN doing basketball analysis. Hopefully it's his last time doing so as he looked extremely uncomfortable and bored. Definitely not his specialty, so why force him?

But back to Idol... I enjoyed the McCartney/Lennon theme this week. They really did write a lot of good songs - both on the lyrics and the themes. Some of this week's arrangements were cool (Eleanor Rigby was kick ass), some unusual (either of the country versions) but nobody stepped up to do I AM THE EGGMAN!!! I AM THE WALRUS!!! If you think the song is weird, check out the video! Try telling me there were no drugs involved in the filming of this video!



I'd easily be the one going home after singing that song, but it'd be fun! That's for sure.....

I'm on my way to Chicago tonight to celebrate St. Patrick's Day Weekend with Sarah! Lots of green festivities (green as in the color of beer, not as in environmentally friendly) are planned with hopefully some fun pictures to share with everyone.

Iowa State plays tonight for their final chance to get into the big dance next week. Well, they'll have to win for the next 4 days, but miracles CAN happen this time of year. Otherwise it looks like Drake?!?! will be the only Iowa school represented this year. Interesting..... My money for now is still on Kansas - I think they're that good this year. But we'll see what happens in the Big 12 tournament this weekend. Hopefully an ISU victory over Kansas is in the cards somewhere....

Don't forget to pull the steaks out to thaw for tomorrow!

Haiku of the Day
"The Moment of Truth"
Is starting to disappoint
Fox can do better!!!

Entertainment of the Day - Being sick and at home yesterday allowed me to watch a LOT of movies.... first up was No Country for Old Men. NOT at all the movie I was expecting. It was pretty good actually. Worthy of the Oscar? Not sure, but I haven't seen all of the movies yet. I don't think it was written to win the Oscar like some movies are - maybe why I actually liked it! I did think Javier Bardem's performance (won for best supporting actor) was awesome!

Weblink of the Day - And with Easter on the way, I get lots of folks reminding me of my own shady past.... I no longer like Peeps ever since the infamous Peeps' Challenge - but here are some funny Peeps experiments to see the real effects of Smoking and Alcohol!
