MXC >>> Wipeout

Let me start out by bluntly stating "Wipeout" Johns Anderson and Henson can't carry the jocks of MXC's Kenny Blankenship and Vic Romano. Brutal! Anderson is just ill-suited for this entertainment/reality game show, and what happened to the Henson of "Talk Soup" fame? He's lost a lot of speed off his fastball. The sanitized, Disney-tized "Wipeout" is a cluster-eff of a show that would be best served by simply running the reaction shots of EA-like Jill Wagner the entire ep.

One more thing - don't get eliminated!

+ By the by, Eddie Bauer is running a sweet sale presently. I stopped by yesterday morning to pick up some new, more dome-complimentary shades and saw EB was shilling their polos for $14.99. Nice! I picked up a chocolate polo and plan on heading back with LRK to see what else they have to offer.

+ Also, I was digging the song in the new-ish Grand Theft Auto 4 spot. You know, the one where the background keeps changing while the guy is walking, going about his business. So I researched, and found out the song is "Get Innocuous" by LCD Soundsystem... and, in reality, is about 7 minutes and 20 seconds in length. Tedious. So, I'm satisfied with just hearing the portion in the GTA 4 spot.

I liked that song too...so you saved me the leg work, thanks. Even though it's 7 minutes long I'm going to check it out.

I know you're a big college baseball fan..are you following the Fresno State story?? This is unbelievable! I am actually going to watch some of game 3 tonight if it is on. Go Bulldogs! (FS that is)

Of course my fave college baseball team is Elizabethtown, but during the Super Regionals, I was pulling for Arizona, Arizona State and Wichita State because my father-in-law was going to make the drive from KS to Omaha to take in a game if any of them won their SR. He would have taken pictures and I could have made a post out of his experience or something like that.

But, when all three of the aforementioned teams crapped out, I put my support behind Fresno State and Rice.

The Fresno story was really cool, and they are a scrappy and likable bunch. Congrats to them!
