Cooking up a storm
Ok...so last night I watched "Celebrity Cooking Showdown." After getting over the fact that I was watching celebrities cook on network primetime television, I was left with one linger question...
Meal...or no meal?
No...So, the final winner is determined by an audience vote. Umm...audience vote? On a cooking show? Doesn't tasting the dish play a role in determining who is better than whom? Last time I checked, you really couldn't taste food through your phone or the internet...
And...I'm glad to see the spawn of the Captain and Tenille has made it to national TV.
Overall, it was still a fun show to watch...Ashley Parker Angel cooking it up...YAY!

Is it tuna??
Thanks to KROQ for this...
Ebay find of the week
$9.99!?! I guess it's cheaper than most whores...not that I'd know anything about it...
I guess this gives a WHOLE new meaning to "fish 'n chips."

A taxing blog
Ahh...What to speak of this blog...
Well, earlier this week, I took a trip to Atlanta for the big NCTA cable convention. It's a big gathering of cable networks, similar in scale to NATPE. We brought "Reality Remix" there on Monday and did the show on location there. While we were there we got interviews with Diana DeGramo, Ryan Starr, Morgan Fairchild, and Oksana Baiul (!!). What amazed me was the scale of the booths that the big companies put up. Quite a lot of work went into them and it showed. The last time I was at a convention of this size was NATPE back in 2001. Fun, fun stuff...
During my down time in Atlanta, I got a chance to meet up with Will. And I finally got to meet Will's brother Wes and Wes's wife Cathy. I've technically known Wes longer since I had E-mailed him years ago through his band's website, but thanks to that pesky thing called distance, it was only until now that we met in person. It was a great dinner and fun times. It's always cool when you can find three other people who can readily quote the "Today's Special" theme. Makes you wanna say hocus pocus alimagocus!
Capped off the trip to Atlanta with some lunch at the Chik-Fil-A at the CNN Center. I HAVE to take advantage of those Chik-Fil-A opportunities when they come...waffle fries and a chicken sammich? OOH, it's so good...
The Queen-themed episode of "American Idol" was interesting...probably the only episode this season where I had heard all the songs sung before. "Innuendo?" VERY, very obscure song...And wait...no "Flash's Theme?!?" No "Invisible Man?" No "Radio Ga Ga?"
And if you haven't been watching this season's "Amazing Race," you're really missing out. Last Wednesday's episode featured one of those legs that made you realize why the show has won the Emmy so many times. And BJ and Tyler getting lost?!? YIPES...Especially after seeing the preview for next week's episode. There has to be a non-elimination leg coming up soon...
My friend Adam's back in L.A. after a leaving town for a four-year stint in his hometown in Massachusetts! Let the tormenting resume! Seriously though, it's good to have him back in town...
Think about this one...A "Gimme a Break" movie with...Mo'Nique...just ponder that one for a second...then throw in George Wendt as chief...or better yet...John Goodman...again...just think about...got it?...OK...Good...

That's it...
I've given up on guessing what's going to happen next on "Lost." Tonight's episode had a twist...or was it? Hurts head too much...will just watch...and stop trying to figure the increasingly convoluted story...
Well, it looks like my initial hunch a few months ago was wrong. Bye, Mandisa...
Though with some recent developments, I'm not surprised...Not gonna let this turn into a social soapbox, but those of you who know the recent story that emerged last week will know how I feel about tonight's elimination. Oh, I've also stopped predicting "Idol." :-)
Whatever you do, don't ask me for lottery numbers...'cause with my luck with prognosticating lately, it ain't gonna help you out!
Bargain of the week...went to Toys R Us last weekend and found Hasbro's "The Apprentice" game. This is the earlier tabletop one, not the one you hook up to your TV set. Well, the shelf sticker said the game was $4.99. Thought to myself...nice deal! So I picked the game off the shelf and went to the cashier only to discover that it wasn't $4.99...It was $0.50. That's right FIFTY cents. I believe the game was at least $29.99 at some point. Go figure!

Back in "blak"
Bought a new beverage over the weekend...
Coca-Cola Blak
It's a "carbonated fusion beverage." So, I took a swig of the stuff last night and it wasn't that bad. It was like fizzy iced coffee.
I think I'd go back to it but I won't make it a regular drink. I'd place it a notch above Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper and several notches above OK Soda.. * shudder *
