On a bigass 767 now waiting to depart from Dallas. Looking forward to get back to Boston! We were just told that we’re going to taxi out and then sit on the tarmac for at least an hour since there are “weather delays coming into Boston.” Ugh.
AdvoCare Success School was incredible, once again. Extremely motivating. ESPN2 will have the AdvoCare V100 Independence Bowl on December 28, 2009.
Computer’s back on, we just took off! The delay was much shorter than they anticipated. Props to American Airlines.
Let me tell you a little bit about my shitty hotel experience @ the Sheraton Dallas Hotel (400 North Olive St.). There were little friggin’ gnats in my room, annoyed the hell out of me. Probably just one or two, but when they random
ly start buzzing around your ear it’s no fun. The sheet had a HUGE stain in it when I pulled down the covers to get in bed @ midnight. SO DAMN NASTY. Not sure how the hotel maid service could put that on a bed a
nd think it was acceptable. Yeah, yeah
… I’m sure it was sanitary, it was just a stain, but still. It was so late I didn’t want to call and complain. The ethernet cord for in-room internet access in my room didn’t work, either.. had to have them bring up a replacement. No fridge in the room! Sooo, that was just the first night. When I was able to get some breakfast at the hotel on Sunday I was looking forward to the pancakes that were on the menu, NO LUCK when I got the buffet breakfast. I figured with the buffet I’d get either pancakes, waffles or french toast. They offered none of those options at the buffet! BAHH… definitely not staying at that hotel again & I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. The conference rooms (ballrooms) were very nice, though, but stay at another hotel if you ever have a conference there.
thinking back on the overblown, worthless “beer summit” at the whitehouse last week, i can’t help but think of one thing: lip reading
all the talking heads on the cable news channels wondered what exactly obama was saying to gates & crowley – what was their small talk all about?
are media outlets allowed to use professional lip readers on whitehouse grounds? any station that took that leap would surely score some curiosity points with potential viewers. it doesn’t seem out of the realm of possibilites.
blackberry curve, crap camera
first, i went to see ac/dc last night @ gillette stadium … it was an amazing show. they do everything BIG. impressive props (a locomotive, 5 story blow-up biker chick with huge balloon ta-tas straddling that locomotive & stomping her foot to the beat) and videos, too. the show closed with a legit fireworks show. angus young hasn’t lost a step over the years, that guy is a machine.
chris rock & david spade were at the concert – they’re in town filming grown ups with adam sandler
is amy adams the new & improved nicole kidman? i think so.
that reminds me, check out the trailer to nine - starring daniel day-lewis, nicole kidman, fergie, kate hudson & even more big names. daniel day-lewis might be the greatest actor we have right now: nine trailer
my dvr is getting backed up with movies i need to watch… & i haven’t seen any of them before so i can’t delete them without first watching them! hopefully one will get knocked off the list tomorrow… not sure which one yet. need more room for some tv series recordings, the high-def stuff takes up serious space.
here’s what’s on it now, for movies:
- The Majestic
- Mamma Mia!
- The Hudsucker Proxy
- Grosse Pointe Blank
- Across the Universe
- 24 Hour Party People
- In the Valley of Elah
- Assassination of Jesse James
- Happy Feet
i’ve also had a movie out from netflix for months now that needs to be seen, gangs of new york. basically i’ve paid about $40 in monthly fees just holding onto to this one damn blu-ray disc.
just spent some time working on websites while listening to anthony cumia do his live from the compound show. hilarious as always, you have to respect someone like ant doing free shows over the net all the time … the bosses @ sirius|xm ain’t happy about it either.
alright, i saw the ugly truth with the wife & her sister, it wasn’t horrid. C+ … btw – john michael higgins & cheryl hines are top-shelf comedy players. overall, there were a few scenes worth mentioning.
first, a really bad cgi job of smoothing out katherine heigl’s belly and upper legs region during the scene that she’s hanging upside-down from a tree. it was such a quick cut scene that they probably didn’t think anyone would notice. i did! shame on you for not putting some effort into the body modification, at least for heigl’s sake.
second, her dance scenes… ok, it wasn’t funny the first time – in the trailer. they had about 4 of her little spastic 2-second dance scenes in the movie. seems like something that people will be mocking, youtubing, animated gif’ing & replaying to death as this movie earns more at the box office. we’ll see… i’m annoyed already at the thought of it.
also – before i forget, katherine heigl is a bitch. she bad mouthed knocked up, after it was a hit, for how it portrayed woman. give me a break, go back to tv you stuck-up skank.
another great episode of curb your enthusiasm just ended! susie essman pwns cheryl: “f**k you, you car wash c*nt! I HAD A DENTAL APPOINTMENT!”
