Utilizing my abilities to see into the future, I say True and False.

Thinking about what G3 (I think) said, while my son's birth was truly wonderful, the day overall was pretty rough. Lots of exhaustion, pain, agony. Plus all the stuff Mrs. Finch went through. And a good deal of fear for both of them along the way.

That, and he looked pretty gruesome when he first arrived. And I like watching him grow up more than I liked watching him get born.

As to the worst day part, that's private. You'll just have to trust me.

Indie Games
 

Anyone play any of these Indie games?

July 31 — A deadly green protoplasm undergoes mitosis at a horrific pace. Your mission: Punish the invading ooze with withering fire from your micro-gun. The game play is addictive. The soundtrack is awful, but in that self-aware “we know we’re being cheesy” sort of way. As for the graphics ... well, it looks like a blob. INDEPENDENT COMPUTER GAMING. It’s not always pretty, but ask any one in the biz and they’ll say that it represents the purest form of game development. And sometimes the cheapest. A check for ten bucks sent to a site called Cheap Ass Games buys you “Dr. Blob’s Organism.”
And because indie gaming lies outside of the publisher money train — and all the corporate pressures to follow trends — it often delivers some of the most creative PC games available to an audience far beyond your typical 19-year-old gamer.
“Teenage Lawnmower,” from Robinson Technology, a Japan-based husband and wife team, plays like a Gen Y afterschool special, with an alcoholic mother, an abusive boyfriend and a lawnmower gig.

"There should be some common sense here," Goldman said. "It's either prosecutorial mania, an obsession with child pornography, or it's an opportunity for a prosecutor to be a jerk."

Or all of the above.

Very interesting question. Difficult to answer.

1) False, unless I feel unexpectedly happy about the birth of my unborn children, or I get asked to write an article about "what really happens in the locker room of the Russian Federation Cup team."

2) False, unless something unexpectedly awful happens to my fiance or our as-yet unborn children.

Grinchy attitude poll
 

Best: I have no idea, and don't really want to know.

Worst: I think I have already felt the worst I ever will. The day I felt that way therefore must be the worst day of my life. However, it's entirely possible that the worst day is yet to come, if all the events of each of my days were judged objectively by not me.

Stop me if you've heard this one or tell me if we have all had enough of these two (I'll just ignore you), but "superstar couple" Affleck and Lopez are so distraught at the critical backlash to their movie Gigli that they have vowed never to work together again.

YAY for us!!

The "sexy pair" believe their incredible fame and the gossip surrounding their upcoming marriage doomed the movie to failure before it was released.

Well, I'm soooo sure that's it.

But wait, we will get one more chance to see them "sizzle" on screen together in Jersey Girl, which will be released in February next year.

What a relief. I was starting to panic.

PRESTON - A Preston woman was arrested after an alleged fight with her husband on Thursday.

According to police, Sherry Lynn Harrison, 28, and her husband, Alvin J. Harrison Jr., 33 allegedly argued at their home at 5980 Newton Road in Preston.

Mrs. Harrison allegedly bit Mr. Harrison on his right forearm when he attempted to restrain her, said police. Police said Mr. Harrison refused medical treatment for his injuries.

Or actually anywhere in Europe. What's it going to take for me to move/work there? I'll do anything. I don't need to practice law at all. I'll draw caricatures on the Seine, or paint myself gold and stay completely still in Piccadilly.

All this talk about the best of life being in front is making me antsy, NTTAWWT...

"The 'Gigli' Is Up"
 

I'm not saying she's not highly gookable, I'm just saying that she ought to be on the list of celebrities who are NOT as hot as they're purported to be. There's something about her face that just isn't right.

Kind of like the Penelope Cruz analysis ... if you chopped off her head and replaced it with a better looking one, she'd be all that.

At last someone got my back on that one. Thx Puft, you always were my favorite JLo ex. Except that the dancer guy is pretty hot. No, but it really is you.

SO thinks J Love Hewitt is perfect. Along with Mira S. They are both NMT.*

Hewitt is "cute" with Huge Cans. I don't think anyone is claiming her to be a top 10 hottie - but she most certainly isn't bad.

As for some others being discussed:

1) Bessette Kennedy was a pale, plain, bottle blonde anoxeric twig who looked as if their wasn't a single brain synapse firing. I saw her up close at 2 fundraisers and am still appalled at all the press she gets.

2) Salma Hayek is on my laminated list - so 'nuff said.

3) Penelope Cruz is a hottie. Again, not as much my type, but I can see why people drool over her.

4) Cameron Diaz. Since the Mask, I just don't find her atttractive. Seems like a fun chick to party with.

5) Reese Witherspoon is the epitome of "cute". Not sexy, but cute as hell.

Bitch please. I never envisioned myself saying this, but Puff Daddy deserves more respect than they give him.

I think I will follow Frederick's lead next time I'm in court. "Huh? Whuh? Naw, man, I's jus sucking my thumb, man. No disrepect. I just think my argument was pretty good man. Fuck what you think. I ain't here to have you tell me my argument sucks."

Reality TV Shows

Big Brother Best Line Ever Award goes to Jack the FBI guy for referring to Dana as having "the sex appeal of a buzzard's crotch." Paigs, Alison may have a big, flat nose, but I'd fuck you before I would touch Dana.

Cupid - Continued to be entertaining as it entered the American Idol phase of the competition. They edited the dates well to show who clicked and who didn't and there was a lot of humor. Laura continues to be a better and funnier bitch than Simon ever was. I am curious how the live dumping will work, though. Whichevre guy America picked to not move on has to know because he won't go on a date this week, unless they sent him and her on one without telling them it is futile.

Paradise Hotel - Is improving as the original cast members are slowly removed. They had become very cliquey and are reacting viscerally to their removal as if they had some right to stay. I want someone to punch Amy now almost as much as someone needs to punch Toni. The group now is split pretty evenly between new and old and that is making for a lot of fighting and court intrique. That said, I still don't know what the fuck they have offered these people to make them want to be the last couple reclining poolside at the end of the summer. They fight for it, they cry about it, but it looks boring and repetitive to me.

Late Night Talkshows:

Leno - How come Roseanne is still a fat cow if she had the stomach surgery? Correspondingly, do the FB moral judges feel the same way about such surgery as they do about implants?

Dave - This week has been deja vu all over again from Charlies Angels Full Throttle, but for American Wedding. Monday night Dave had Jason Biggs on. Tuesday was Eugene Levy. LAst night was Sean William Scott. Does CBS own the studio releasing the movie? Is the studio paying CBS? I don't get it. Dave looks like a shill and for what?

I'd like to think that means Linus of Snoopy fame, but it probably refers to Linus Torvalds.

Yes. It's fucking sick to mutilate a clinically healthy stomach because the patient's having a mental health issue about controlling their eating. It's like cutting off your hand so you don't use it to shoot anybody, instead of figuring out how to prevent or control the desire to kill in the first place. I'd mandate hard-core therapy (talk and drug, if warranted) first and then allow only if this was still the only alternative to serious weight-related health problems or death (which I understand it is for some people).

"The 'Gigli' Is Up"
 

She doesn't look fine there. She looks fine there. As in H-O-T. And wasn't she supposed to be coked out in Blow? Did you think Michelle Pfeiffer looked hot in Scarface?

As for "Woman on Top," you are sorely mistaken. She looked fantastic in that movie. She most definitely qualifies as a gorgeous latina, although I tend to think of her as a gorgeous woman.

I missed this week's episode, but I have to agree. Before this show, I haaaaaaaated Puffy. Now I definitely respect him for the business man he is.

This show is high comedy. (All the kids deserve to be dropped off an island and never heard from again.)

It's my second favorite reality show behind Project Greenlight.
