durban bits
The new Harry Potter book came out this weekend. Rob bought a copy so I played the part of the Invisible Man all weekend. He would only acknowledge my existence when he wanted some pooty tang. So rude.
The Heat Miser is still wreaking havoc on DC so I watched a lot of crappy TV, listened to music and played on the Internet. Here are some of my observations:
* Bobby Brown is one of the most foul creatures to roam this planet. He is repulsive. He is right up there with Karl Rove. I want to know what kind of drugs he and Whitney are on. I think they are hooked on some sort of prescription drugs but I can't figure out which one(s). I'd like to know because I will never take whatever they are taking.
* Lisa Kudrow's new show "The Comeback" on HBO is freakin' hysterical. One of the best shows on TV right now.
* I love Six Feet Under but haven't seen any of the episodes this season. I finally watched one last night. It was pretty good. The gay couple gets on my nerves though. The white guy is so bitchy and the black guy cannot act. You would think after 5 seasons he would have gotten better. Nope.
* Can you imagine having sex with Karl Rove?
* Who watches that show Entourage? I tried to watch an episode last night. I have tried this before and failed so I thought I would give it another shot. I could only handle 5 minutes. I don't get it.
* "Celebrity Skin" by Hole is a great pop-rock record. It's a shame it didn't do so well. I think it would have done well if Courtney was sober while promoting it. There are some great pop songs on there.
* I realize my blog entries tend to be really long. When I visit other blogs and I see long entries I tend to not read them. I would understand if you do this to mine as well. Although, you don't know what you're missing.
* I did not get to see Charlie & the Chocolate Factory this weekend. It was too hot to hail a cab. I would have melted. Ba-da-boom. After hearing what Steve and Chris had to say about the movie, I'm not in a big hurry anymore. I will still see it though.
* "Celebrity Fit Club 2" is wonderful trash TV. I want to know how much they pay these people to make complete fools of themselves. What the hell happened to the lead singer of Warrant? Poor guy. Ugh, aging sucks.
* We ordered 3 movies from Netflix 2 months ago. We still have the same ones. One of them is "Sideways." After all the acclaim I thought I would rent it. Everytime I go to put it in the DVD player Rob and I look at each other and say, "Nah." It looks so boring. I should probably send it back. We also rented "Hotel Rwanda." Everytime we suggest watching it we both decide that we do not want to depress ourselves on a weekend night. We should send that back too.
* My site looks like crap in Firefox. The links are all messed up. I appreciate Firefox and how they are trying to compete with IE but I really don't feel like learning their interesting little nuances to make things look pretty. Not yet. Maybe later.
* When someone arrives at my little web site through a search engine I can tell what keywords they used. Here are just a few from the last week: "fuck buddies in durban," "baptist anal sex," "charlie and chocolate factory porno," and my favorite, "dry humping boxer briefs." That is not a joke, people. It's for real. There are some freaky-deaky people in this world. More freaky is the fact that my site comes up when those words are typed in! They must be sorely disappointed to arrive at my silly, non-pornographic online diary. I should probably tone down my use of vulgarities and sexual innuendo so this doesn't happen.
Nah, fuck it.

Ironic abounds as usual... Channel7 and I watched "Sideways" finally the other night after ignoring it for like my 1st month of netflix membership... AWFUL, what the fuck were people thinking when they told me how AMAZING it was and that since I was a wine guy I would love it... uhhhhhh no, the only part I liked was when the girl beat the shit out of "Lowell" from Wings with her motorcycle helmet - he was pissing me off! The joke about Reisling was funny but I think all of 2 people in America got it.
Hotel Rwanda was also mailed to me. I ended up not wanting to watch it and mailed it back. Same thing for the Stepford wives. I need to redo my Netflix queue to make sure I get flicks I will actually watch (as opposed to feeling like I "should" watch them to be current - screw that!)
Karl Rove = BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARF on Borf
I was home this weekend in Mass. and watched cable a lot. There is nothing ever on when I want to watch it. I can only take so much reality tv and commercials piss me off so I am going to stay cable-free indefinitely. I can waste that 100 bucks on some other habit to fuel my ADD ;-)

This is one of the funniest entries you have ever written. I totally agree about everything you wrote.
The guy who plays Keith can't act - but who cares - I just like looking at him.
I was looking at the stats on my blog and someone got there searching for Carlo Masi. I am proud to be a provider of quality Carlo Masi content.
Give Sideways a chance - you'll be glad you did.

Good (albeit LONG) update, Teej. Hot up here in NY, too. I haven't stepped outside in two days.

Six Feet Under is great this season......Soooooo rude that it's ending. Last week was better than last night's show.
I freakin love Keith. He's hot. That shit's RIGHT!!!!!

I'm going to Florida tomorrow and apparently it's even MORE humid and hot there... how is that even possible?!
"Durban Bits" sounds like a great name for cereal. Maybe instead of marshmellows there could be little bits of...nevermind ;-)

What's wrong with dry humping in your boxers while searching for more pics of John Kesler?
You've proved to me you're crazy... The Comeback over Entourage... nuts!
Both the guy from CBS and Entertainment Weekly loved Charlie... they understand that creepy dark allegories make for creepy dark movies!

Well British Matt, perhaps you can explain to me what the hell Entourage is trying to be. Is it supposed to be funny? Is it a drama? Shouldn't it be interesting? Maybe if I lived near you and Famke I would understand it better.

TJ, I like Entourage, Sideways AND Tom Cruise (the actor...not the person). LOL. Did you happen to catch any of the British Open this past weekend? Tiger was killer and the course in St. Andrews was a bear!
What do Karl Rove, Michael Jackson and OJ have in common?
Posted by: Dave at July 20, 2005 05:00 AM
Dave, you also live near a nuclear power plant. That explains a lot.
Anyway, I'm not saying Entourage is a bad show. I just don't get it. Maybe you could enlighten me. I also don't think Sideways is bad. It just looks incredibly boring. As for Tom Cruise, he's still a dick.

oh man, Celebrity Skin is one of my favorite albums of all time. (Live Through This is about equal....) I love Boys on the Radio, Heaven Tonight, and Malibu...such great songs.
