This blog is shutting down, indefinitely. I need to refocus. I might delete it, but perhaps I'll be able to redirect you all or something equally fancy. Or, you know, post a bulletin on myspace.

Does anyone else watch Project Runway? I need more people to talk about this with.

Yet another reason TV news is hilarious
This passes as journalism.

Best ever, ever
The Wire, the best TV show in the history of ever, returns to HBO next month.
The show is about the Baltimore drug trade, the violence that results and the cops who work the cases. But it's not a procedural, just beautifully crafted arcs of 13 or so episodes.
The season starts Sept. 10, so if you have HBO on Demand, I encourage you to catch up. I have seasons one and two on DVD and would be glad to lend them to anyone, and seasons two and three are on HBO on Demand right now.
Seriously. It's worth watching. Even moreso than Project Runway.

It occurs to me
that the overlap of Bill Simmons readers and Hills watchers is small (though not zero, especially among those whose roommates assault them with a verbal synopsis of every episode). So, to those who questioned Heidi's every utterance, this quote's for you:With all the hullabaloo about the 25th anniversary of MTV, I'm demanding that LC's birthday date is included in any "Greatest MTV Moments" feature from now on. Here's a rough transcript:Mailbag, baby, mailbag [Page 2]
(We see Lauren and her degenerate, unemployed, filthy-rich boyfriend, Jason, having a fancy dinner in an L.A. hotel room that he purchased for the night.)
Jason (touching his nose frantically): "So what do you want to do tonight?"
Lauren: "I just want to be with you."
Jason (confused, touches his nose 20 more times): "So you just want to stay here?"
Lauren: "Yeah, let's get a movie or something."
Jason (now pawing at his nose like a bear killing a camper): "So, you don't want to go out?"
Lauren: "Why, do you?"
Jason (slowly realizing that he's about to spend the night with someone who has no discernable personality): "I dunno ... only if you want to ... you know, we could go out."
Lauren: "Well, I'd rather stay here and get a movie."
Jason (checking to see if blood is pouring from his nose): "Okay, that's cool ... so you don't want to go out?"
Lauren (upset now): "Jason, I just told you, I don't want to go out!"
Jason (while debating if he should empty the salt shaker and snort whatever comes out): "All right, all right. So what do you want to do?"
(I'm telling you, this was the new "Who's on First?", only if Abbott and Costello had just shared an eight-ball. Phenomenal TV. Let's move on.)

Finally, two of my guilty pleasures combined
It's Friendster for MU!
On another note, Google won't let me be signed in to gmail and blogger at the same time in two tabs. (They're different accounts.) I hope this is a temporary glitch.

The Internet in 1996, with commentary
No evidence that Tim wrote it, though.
