Slutty McSlutterson

So in preparation for the next great speed dating event, I've already started to plan what I'm going to wear and this brings up a boy question for me.

If I wear a top that highlights The Twins, are the speed dating guys going to look at me and think "possible hot girlfriend" or "possible hot hookup"? Faithful male readers (Kevin, Samir), any deep insights?

Shout out to Eleni for protecting my dignity in this pic.

Stupidest phone name ever

Matt and I spent 10 minutes yesterday discussing how totally stupid the new "Chocolate" phone from Verizon is. The phone has absolutely nothing to do with chocolate - you can't eat it, it's black not brown, it's a phone people.

Other phone names make more sense - the Rokr plays music, the Razr is thin, the Pebl looks like a pebble. While they may have incredibly misspelled names, those names make sense.

But Chocolate? Seriously LG & Verizon, fire your marketing people.

Damn you Justin Timberlake

I haven't bought/received a new CD in like a year and a half by subsiding soley on iTunes. Then comes along JTT with his new CD out today and darn it, if I don't like it and want to go out immediately and buy it. Doesn't he understand that Pepper needs flea medication more than I need his CD?

On a related note, I really like that places like AOL have started streaming new albums on the web. It makes it a lot easier for me to realize that I really don't want Jessica Simpson's new CD . . .

Ironic spellcheck

Look at the spellcheck I got when I was just posting to my blog on blogger.com. Ebay is in the dictionary, but blog is not - on a site totally dedicated to blogs . . .

Build-A-Bear

Eleni, Matt, and I were discussing Build-A-Bear today at lunch and how girls want guys to give them to them. Even girls who normally would never have a single stuffed animal in their houses (except dog toys) want them. Eleni is lucky and got one from Mike. I've never gotten one sadly enough.

The idea is that girls love the idea of a guy going out to the store and putting thought into building a bear just for them. Plus those bears are cute . . .

Who knew glasses were such a great disguise

So since I've been having a crappy week, I decided to treat myself to a movie yesterday evening and went to go see Superman Returns. I was a good movie, but I'm still waiting for next week when Pirates of the Caribbean comes out. A couple of things did strike me about the movie though:
1. James Marsden has made a career out of being the third wheel in a romance in comic book movies. He was Jean Grey's boyfriend in X-Men and now Lois Lane's in this movie. He has the act of being in denial down to an art.
2. Kumar from Harold and Kumar go to Whitecastle is a villain in the movie. How can you take him seriously as a villain after seeing him as Kumar? At least he's working. Plus IMDB says that there's going to be a sequel: Harold and Kumar go to Amsterdam.

Has VW gone too far?

Chances are by now that you've seen one of those new VW ads that show a car accident. The ads really disturb me and yet at the same time, make me want to get a Jetta because I'm a safety junkie. The Slate has an article about people's reactions to the ads.

Seriously?

Say you're the president and you're at an all time low again for your approval rating. You know what would make everything better? Having a speech during primetime finale sweeps and screwing up my DVR. Doesn't Bush realize that he's messing up Tivo taping the finale of Grey's Anatomy?!?!? Plus, he made ABC push the Oprah special back a week. You do not want to piss off Oprah.
