reality tv recap
 

I enjoyed it as always. I thought the guy was just nice (his girlfriend had a horrible case of horse face syndrome, though -- that's where you have gums that are bigger and more prominent than you're fucking teeth; I don't know how that can be fixed, but someone needs to work on that). They hooked up his hair and really only bought him like one or two outfits. The clothes weren't really the point of the show last night. It can't always be about Carson. He bought the guy what he needed, which was shoes. Can't really model shoes.

That said, Jai did a crap job. He could have given him a few moves he could have done very easily at any club and looked cool. Think: simple. Hell, the guy's girlfriend couldn't even dance (I don't know why the hell she wanted to go out dancing all the time -- where do these people go who can't dance that they feel comfortable doing whatever the hell it is they do?). And besides Jai, those were the most nondancingest gay guys I've ever seen. Pathetic. I guess they were thrown off because Junior Vasquez wasn't spinning maybe?

Thom did a decent job with the space he had. I like the segmenting thing he does with the walls, although he needs some new tricks.

I didn't understand the raw bar thing. She didn't look like she loved them (or liked them very much) and she didn't even know how to eat them. I think they told him to suggest a raw bar.

I felt a little bad for the guy a number of times. But, hell. He had a good time while he was there. And they better have given him the fucking money at the end.

I can't believe how many times the actors fucked up. It can't be that hard to keep that many lies floating at once. Shit, I do it every day.

Favorite line:

Matt: I'm not here for the money.
Whoever: Than why ARE you here?
Matt: Because I had nothing else to do.

I read somewhere (can't remember where or I would post the link) that the cast and crew felt genuinely bad for Mr. Schmoo. Apparently he is a really nice guy, and everyone started feeling guilty about what they were doing to him.

I don't pay that much attention, but is it a firmly established principle of DMCA interpretation that a search engine operator has any liability of infringement in certain links? Does this arise out of Google's maintenance of caches? Or is this somehow required under the DMCA to go after the actual infringers?

reality tv recap
 

Excellent point. The guy is such a dumb pathetic loser that the attempts to make him look like a dumb pathetic loser just come off as mean. It's too easy. The only tension in the show comes from rooting for him to play off the board and against the producers, like when he removed his hand from the hooker. If the producers recognize this and exploit it, the show will be successful. If it stays at the pick on the dpl level, I will lose interest quickly.

Did you really think so? I see him as a guy who plays the same character over and over and over, and the character's name is Caruso. Same guy now appears on CSI.

gossip
 

There were rumors that the wedding was taking place last weekend on Martha's Vineyard. The Inside Track (Boston Herald) had a very entertaining account of all the hints/clues to the event and the reaction on the part of the press and paparazzi. Helicopters flying, airport stakeouts, etc. Ben

Kournikova pregnant?? No. I did a quick google and those rumors were circulating back in January and February of this year. So unless the little critter has a long gestation period, or she has had sex with Enrique in the last month or two:D , she's not.

She did quit her stint as a roving reporter for USA. Apparently she felt uncomfortable asking other players about their matches. The only spot of hers I saw was with Kim Clijsters. Horrible. Anna clearly has no future on tv (in a speaking role).

Robby Ginepri (another young American tennis hottie) is dating Minnie Driver. They met in England after she saw him playing in the Queen's tournment on TV. She's only 12 years older than he is. Do they double-date with Tara and Mark?

Anne
Damn, it's still raining in NYC! No tennis yet.

Not to mention lots of drugs (recreational and performance-enhancing), lots of heavy partying, lots of unprotected sex back in the day, and bodies that tend to go from huge and muscular at age 25 to just huge at 40.

I know, I'm generalizing. But we're talking about averages (i.e., average life expectancy), so generalizing is appropriate.

I think that the Cookie O'Chick cake would be appropriate, just don't try calling Carvel and asking to speak with it-they don't play that shit.

I don't think we disagree. I think that character was (somewhat) new and fit well with Franz and NYPD Blue then. But the whole Look-down-scrunch-eyebrows-whisper-scratchy-talk method of acting doesn't quite work elsewhere. He should have recognized that and milked it for what it was worth on NYPD Blue. I've never seen CSI.

I saw the Martin-Ginepri match, and while I must say he is fine (took his shirt off- perfect chest hair- nipple ring???), the MInnie Pearl thing is a turnoff. He is only twenty so clearly she is schooling him. Good, I will take him next.

I also saw the Philippoussis - Nalbandian match and could not bring myself to cheer for Mark. He had an exciting second set tiebreak win and then just totally went away. I guess that night spent banging Tara in Jersey wore him out. I predict that this relatuonship, such as it is, is over. Bc Mark is really taking his tennis seriously. Or so I hope.

I saw one Anna K segemnt- the "who is the hottest tennis player on the men's tour", which was beyond lame. And I dont hate her or think of her as a nontennis player. What was even lamer is that not one person said Moya or Phillipoussis- makes you realize that a lot of non fans are at the matches. It was all Agassi and Roddick, who each have their own thing but dont measure up to Carlos, Mark and a lot of other players.

Has anyone seen Carlos? He looks UNBELIEVABLE. Even McEnroe was talking about it.

I saw Roddick play on Friday. Good match. You are 100% right about his eyes being too close together, though. He is ugly. I don't get the big deal - there were tons of groupie-type girls there swooning at him.

I also saw Daniela Hantuchova get blown out of the water. I don't think she is anorexic (she is skinny, but actually looks very muscular in person), but she did not look all that good (kept making unforced errors).

Must have been a poll on the state of their tennis game, NOT there bangableness. It would be great if Andre won, and I enjoy watching Roddick play but neither one makes the bangable list.

Moya makes the bangable list. Like his tat too. :P But I've got to cheer on El Anyaoui if their match ever gets played today.

Define "perfect chest hair".

I love Younes. Love the old timers. Carlos doesnt always show that much heart on the court. Had a hard time rooting for him in that classic with Martin a couple of years back but wow is he a beauty (those pics STILL dont do him justice). Match I most want to see today is Hewitt- Srichipan. THAT should be a balls out five setter. Fucking blows taht the featured night match is roddick-malisse. I may have to root for Xavier for a few minutes so there is an interesing set late in the game.

And I really want to see my favorite lesbian besides Martina (who I also saw= my hero) play Clijsters (who I also saw). Go amelie.

Has this ever happened to you?
 

I opened up my email this morning and I had an email containing information about something I have been working on the past few weeks, and asking people to attend an event for which I have been providing some legal assistance.

As I was reading this email I was thinking, "wow, this looks very familiar to me."

Then I realized why. It was my damn email. I had written it a few weeks ago and submitted it to a listserv to try to encourage some people to attend this event. Someone else on the listserv deleted my name, signed her own name, and sent it to a bunch of people.

Another colleague, unaware who had really written the email, sent it to a list of people as well, and she included me.

I am a victim of email theft!

How rude!

He was pretty good in Session 9, and not the same character. (Maybe his brother, but not quite the same.) Also, good veneers can fix that big horse-gum thing - you also need gum reduction if the problem isn't itty bitty teeth, but I've seen it done.

Also re: movies, another PG movie featuring breasticles: How to Beat the High Cost of Living, which featured what were probably not Jane Curtin's breasts.

The best of the many good things about Old School is the band that's playing the wedding in the first 10 minutes. It's a real band called the Dan Band, starring Dan Finnerty (sp?), who's married to Kathy Nijimy, which is weird, because he's not fat and she isn't. Anyways, I've seen the Dan Band perform a few times, and their shtick is pretty much what you see in the movie.

If you don't remember, Dan Band is singing "Total Eclipse of the Heart," and throwing in totally gratuitous F-bombs throughout the song -- "turn around, every now and then I get a little bit terrified, I see that fuckin look in your eyeeeeees . . ." --

It comes with nattily dressed backup singers and great choreography. If you're ever in LA, Dan Band is definitely a must-see. Let me know if you're coming, I'll score you some seats. I have a connection because Kathy Nijimy was my celebrity partner on Pyramid and she screwed up, costing me $10,000.

Nothing is going to top the Younes-Novak match from the last round. That final set was incredible. Amazing tennis from both players. Much better than that Conners-Krickstein match they always replay.

I wish they would replay Goran's Wimbledon win. I had to work that day and listening to it over the web didn't do it justice. ESPNClassic said they were trying to get as an Instant Classic, but I've never seen it.

Plus, there's the slow instrumental verson of Whitesnake's "Here I Go Again" playing after Blue's funeral...

The problem with "Old School" is that all the funny is crammed into the first half of the movie. From "I recommend you stop being such a faggot" to the "trust tree," it's going along great.

And then Andy Dick shows up. And he is not funny.

Even though he goes away, the rest of the movie is simply not funny. It's a sad thing, really. Like being away at the beach and getting a phone call telling you that your wife's aunt died. It's not enough reason to cut the vacation short, but it puts a damper on the rest of the weekend.

You remind me that the band playing the high-school reunion in Something_Wild was The Feelies, one of my faves. Jonathan Demme clearly has solid musical taste. Sister Carol wasn't a bad find, either.

So bitter. So negative.
 

I am worried about you, dude. I really think it would do you good to find something that would put you in a better space. You know, like, mentally? You just seem really edgy and kind of angry. Like I said earlier, I just mixed this super mellow CD. Early Rinocerose. Some remixes from ESL Music compilations. A little Amon Tobin. Some mellow cuts from Six Degrees compilations. It is definitely not music that you can listen to 24-7, but it might be just the trick to get you thinking more positively about things.

I know you just put this in here to get a rise out of someone, so here you go:

Why is this weird? Would it be less weird if she were slender and he were tubby?

On a side note, why does it seem wrong to me to write "if she were slender and he were tubby" but it also seems wrong to write "if she were slender and he was tubby"?

I am assuming that "isn't" in the quoted sentence was supposed to be "is."

Paigow, how's your crush list looking these days? I should think Jack moved up with a bullet.

And I echo Dualit's thanks for the humpy pics of Moya. He looks different in every pic -- he looked ugly in the one you posted last week. And while I'm not a fan of sleeveless shirts on men, and especially not on the tennis court (keep the pit hair out of view, thanks), he does wear his well.
