Heeeeeey Dude!

Wasn't "Hey Dude" the best? It was kind of esoteric and weird compared to some other kids' shows of that era (1990/91). They were just stuck at this boring ranch in the desert -- no school dances or beach montages for this crew. Just awkwardness and thinly veiled bigotry. Once "Pete and Pete" came around, it was totally overshadowed ... but with a theme song like this, my love will never be extinguished.

Sheer nostalgia!

Global Air Traffic Time Lapse

Those who know me are well-aware of my sheer fear of flying. It never stops me from traveling -- however, it also never stops me from having plenty of cocktails before takeoff. But this video, which illustrates global air traffic over a one-day span, really puts things into perspective.

When you're in the air, you definitely aren't alone up there.

"Instead, she did what she always does: schlepped her two kids around Orlando, all elfin and inscrutable behind her reflective sunglasses, giving not the slightest indication of what on earth she could possibly be thinking." (http://kl.am/a7x8)

The Daily Beast whipped up an interesting commentary on Elin Nordegren's apparent non-action amid months+months of scandal. Ultimately, it's nobody's bid'ness what she does ... but I can't help but wonder why she chooses to not make a more clear-cut impression of herself as either a strong woman who is done+done, or a strong woman who is standing by her man and going the route of forgiveness. What's up with all the gas pumping and the lack of a solid public stance?

Can't Wait for "Sunset Daze"

There's no way that "Sunset Daze" won't be my favorite show of the upcoming season. When my boyfriend tipped me off that a friend of his was looking to produce a "Real Golden Girls" reality show, I thought it was too fucking amazing to not happen -- and it looks like someone managed to land such a series on WeTV.

That's right -- the show will premiere on April 28th, featuring a cast of wacked-out seniors living it up to the fullest at an outrageous retirement home in Arizona. According to their bio pages, there's a matchmaker, a "wild child" and even an ex-nun. But I can immediately sense that Gail will be my idol (a wrinkled ball of sass with a scary wig).

According to the LA Times, we can expect "Steamy scenes in Jacuzzis, a wild night out at a gay rodeo, happy-hour makeout sessions, and conversations about sex toys."

Quote of the Day

"The latest season of MTV's long-running program ended last night like a geriatric poodle falling down a flight of stairs. The show and the audience have changed drastically since it started. It is time to put the old girl down." http://kl.am/9SBW

It's true. "The Real World" is bottom-of-the-barrel trash. Somebody needs to Kevorkian that shit ASAP.

#babyscarface FTW

What kind of elementary school hosts a play of "Scarface"? And how can I enroll my future children?
