My days are getting more and more uneventful, isn’t that fun? I usually spend my days sitting in the corner to think about what I’ve done, and yet I don’t know what that is. Well not really. All is fun and games. Where else can a man write an email for hours on end? Nowhere but here my friends.
I got the new Rolling Stone in the mail today. On the cover in big letters it says “Bush Declairs War on Bongs”, among other things. The article is about how right around the same time as we attacked Iraq, there was a nationwide crackdown on shops that sold bongs and other drug paraphernalia. And if that phrase weren’t funny enough, a couple pages after that article in the magazine there is the cover story on Eminem with a big picture of him (can you guess?) toking up on a bong. I wonder how self conscious Rolling Stone was of that when they put that picture in.
And now, since I am obsessed, more reality TV…
——Big Brother 4: The Ex Factor——
Why they gave the show that crappy extra name, I’ll never know. Anyway, the first show was on tonight, and although it is too soon to tell if the show will be any good, once the Ex’s entered the house the show definately got more interesting. Think about it: these people are put in a house with someone they don’t get along with and probably never wanted to see again, and now they have to live with them, and how they deal with this will determine how long they stay in the house. Some people I can already pick out as problem house guests, and they are sure to get the boot quickly. I’ll probably keep livejournal up to date on how the show goes, so get ready for some really annoying posts! (yea!)
——Last Comic Standing——
I’ve found that most people have never heard of this show, which is a real shame because it is really good. I can’t recommend you watch this enough. It’s pretty much like the best of all reality shows put together–it’s part Big Brother, part Survivor, part American Idol, part the realities of trying to make it as a comic. That, and the fact that they are all real comedians, means that the show is going to be really funny. The show ends with a 8 Mile-like joke battle, where two comedians go head to head to stay in the house and put on a set for a live audience, who decides like the title says, who is the last comic standing. Tonight was really good. Rob unfairly got put on the chopping block, and went against Ralphie, who is a power house comic (who’s talent is almost as great as his massive weight (that and he has a real hottie of a girl friend. Girls must really be into personality)) and Rob went home, even though I thought his set was way better than Ralphie’s. Ralphie did a hilarious, if not stereotypical, set on political correctness (come on, that’s so mid-90’s material) while Rob gave a completely original set on how he was going to change his name to Bobbert, and then not, the mysteries of the semi-colon, and how unfulfilled he was going to strip clubs, and the entire thing he really pulled off. Because of that I was really surprised when Ralphie, who’s set was good but not as polished, beat him by 85% of the vote. What’s really surprising about the show, though, is the vast amounts of backstabbing going on, making it a real treat in terms of reality programming. Check it out.
