Now....

if I were ever on the cover of GQ I would not be wearing just a plain white t-shirt, standing in front of a white background. I bring this up because that's exactly what I thought about when I picked up this month's GQ with Jamie Foxx on the cover. I just think that as talented as he is, having won a Golden Globe and now being nominated for both Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor, the editors there would've had the sense to put Mr. Foxx in a suit. Now, if it were me I woulda had on a big ass kool-aid smile along with a killer black suit. I also would've insisted on having a scantily clad model whispering sweet nothings in my ear while I was striking a James Bond-type pose during the photo shoot. Not that I've ever put any real thought into such a thing....

Just another day at the BC...

Arrived at work a little early today so I figured that I'd try and be productive, so I tried to fix the copier in the research office. Needless to say that I failed miserably and so we had to make copies at the downstairs office.
Picked up some meatloaf at Whole Foods on the way since I'm trying to eat healthier these days. Shouldn't be too busy at work today and looking forward to seeing all the Hayden guys at Gebbie's apartment for what promises to be a fun night of shooting craps.

Welcome to the 21st Century...

This has been a momentous month for me. First I received a DVD player for Christmas and yesterday I made my very first purchase on ebay! It took me a while but I think it's safe to say that I have now joined everyone in the 21st Century.
For the meantime I'll keep the purchase a surprise. All I'll say about it is that once I saw it I knew I had to get it. It also happens to appeal to my inner Star Wars geek. That's it, that's all I'll say until I officially get it in the mail.
Now that I am officially registered on ebay I have to be careful. Afterall, there's so much stuff out there and I know how I get when I'm around things I like. I'm not saying I'm an addict but I have been known to buy things in spurts and ebay really feeds into that impulse. Still, I can't deny that I enjoy looking to see what's out there.

God I Love The OC ...

It's been a while since I've done an OC recap so here goes... How hot did Mischa look tonight? Good Lord. She must've heard about me gushing over her latest co-star Olivia Wilde and so she decided to remind everyone who the franchise still is. Either way I can't complain now that we've learned that Alex and Marissa are like 2 peas in a pod hanging out all week together depsite the presence of Alex's hot ex Jodi. Seriously though and I can't stress this enough, the OW has been absolutely tremendous for the show. Her presence has taken the OC from phenomenon status to legitimate juggernaut. It's like when the Mets were when Doc and Daryl were at their absolute zenith and were truly something to behold. Hopefully Olivia and Mischa's careers don't snort their careers up their noses (which is still a definite possibility, at least for their respective characters) like Doc and Daryl did. Anyway, I digress. The only complaint I have about the reveal of Marissa's tattoo (located on the small of her back, quite possibly the hottest piece of real estate of the female anatomy for a tattoo) is that we weren't taken to the tattoo parlor with them. Now THAT woulda been hot! The anticipation of the lesbian scene between them is enough to drive me into a certifiable frenzy, details of which will remain absent from this space.
Also this week Caleb truly showed why he is the Darth Vader of Newport. Just when you think he's gone soft and wants to chat up Lindsey, he proves that Sith Happens when he tells Ryan to go 'take a piss' once he sees that he was goin to join them for dinner and bolts, leaving his illegitimate daughter to wonder what could've been.
Then we learn something about Sandy's past as he is visited by his old law school mentor. He tells Sandy that he is sick and needs to ask him a favor....to get in touch with his daughter, Rebecca, whom he's been estranged from the last 20 years. It also turns out that Sandy and Rebecca were once engaged and madly in love with one another. Apparently she was quite the political activist and was part of a bombing of some sort of chemical plant and had to flee the country.
Then there was the great comic book enterprise that was conjured up by of all people Zack. This proved to be key because it helped Seth break out of the funk he was in after he got dissed by Alex and has to come to grips with Summer being with the aforementioned Zack. We see that Seth is quite the artist and he immerses himself in creating various characters including Ryan's alter ego 'Kid Chino.' Summer is upset at all the time Zack is lavishing on the comic book enterprise and delivers the line of the night when she says, "What is this Kavalier and Gay?" However, she too comes around when she stumbles upon the sketches that Seth had drawn of her as a Superhero while he was away in Portland over the summer.

Phew that's all for now, I'll try and do better next time.

Austrailian Open? Oh yeah....

Just finished watching the Sharapova-Serena semifinal match with my Dad. That was one hellvua match and to think I nearly missed it. Then again the Australian Open has a way of sneeking up on me since it's the first major of the the year and it's on the other side of the world.
Sharapova won the first set and had Serena on the ropes several times and probably should've won. But I gotta tip my hat to Serena, she knuckled up and played like a true champion tonight/this morning winning in 3 sets. Both of these ladies really hit the crap out of the ball and the match did have it's share of errors. However, when it mattered most both players stepped up their games to make this match an epic affair. I knew it was getting good when my Dad stopped asking me questions like: "How do they keep score?" or "Why are the people wearing turbans?" And started saying things like: "I like Sharapova, she's pretty." and "Serena is out of shape, look at her butt."
Anyway, it was a great match featuring 2 athletically gifted chicks one of which is extremely hot and the other one that could eat me alive. Yeah, that's enough to get my attention not to mention my dad's.

I"m such a slacker....

Can't believe I've been so lazy. Been meaning to post my thoughts on my Boston road trip with K, Al and Macy but I've just been too lame. Therefore I apologize for my lack of blogging and hope to get 2005 off on the right foot.
I know this is goin to sound a little disturbing but I feel it's worth mentioning. I was watching One Tree Hill tonight and pleasantly surprised to see Lindsey McKeon making a guest appearance. Who's Lindsey McKeon you ask? She was a member of Saved By The Bell: The Next Class (which was Post-Zack Morris) and played the sweet girl next door to the hilt. Man o man did I have a crush on her and now to see how much she's grown....um oops where was I again? Yeah she's a total hottie now and she's playing Hailie's wild older sister whom as it turns out happened to be the one to give Nathan the Birds and the Bee's talk. I can only hope that the writers on OTH realize how hot she is and make her a regular on the show, that's one way to keep me tuned.
