And where are the Dinobots?

Ok, I have to start with the photo of Courtney Love that is making the rounds in which Courtney looks like, well, it is tough to describe what she looks like. Let’s say you started with the skeleton of Courtney Love and then added a small layer of skin. That is pretty much it. It isn’t that she looks unhealthy but more like I can’t comprehend how she is still upright. Zombie Courtney Love would look healthier than she does right now and I do not talk about zombies lightly. I know I often recommend that My Beloved Lindsay have a sandwich but in this case Courtney needs to spend a good month at a smorgasbord.

Also, I hate to disappoint everyone but I will not be going to see the new Transformers movie this weekend. Not even with twin jive talking robots providing the comic relief in much the same way that Jar Jar did during the prequels that shall not be named. I really have no desire to see this one. The first one at least had the draw of seeing your favorite cartoon brought to life along with the desire to see how badly they ruined Megatron. (Seriously, what could be better than his transforming into a gun? How do you change that?) Now it is just two and a half hours of noise and poorly designed robots and if I wanted to experience that I would just run my Roomba.

Finally, in the news story that is so bizarre even I couldn’t have made it up we have the governor of South Carolina making people realize that yes, South Carolina has a governor. I mean, outside of an old Benson episode I never realized that they even had any form of organized government. First off, I love the fact that a governor can just disappear. I have to inform my company of every step I take but he can just take off and leave and no one on his staff or in the government has a clue where he is.

Then we have the wonderful stories passed along. “He is hiking the Appalachian Trail”, “He has a history of going off by himself” and “No, it is not unusual for him to disappear without warning on Father’s Day” are some of my personal favorites. In reality we find him returning from Argentina of all places. Now I have a history of going off grid at times but I’ve never thought of taking off to Argentina especially with New Orleans being a much closer flight. And now we find out that the trip to Argentina was to see his mistress which only leads me to wonder why he couldn’t find a more convenient mistress. I mean, if you are going to ruin your life you should at least not have to bring a passport with you. At the end of the day we have a ruined political career, a family ripped apart on national television and an increased amount of attention on the women of Buenos Aries. I thought that I had seen everything in politics but this one is rather unique.

Wednesday Night Music Club: I’m in a Death Cab for Cutie mood at the moment. Let’s embrace it, shall we?

Death Cab For Cutie MTV Music

Personally, I blame Tom Cruise

I just have to say that I find it bizarrely funny that people ask me at work about the rumor that I applied for the separation package. This after I wrote about it on a public website that gets hits from around the world. Of course, this may also imply that no one actually reads what I write here. I’m just going to ignore that thought for the time being because it is really, really depressing.

(Again, yes I applied. I expect to hear about my status tomorrow. I haven’t officially made a decision but let’s say I’m 90/10 for accepting it. Stranger things have happened though, like the Giants winning the Super Bowl.)

Well, in our celebrity gossip news of the day Kirsten Dunst checked into rehab at Cirque Lodge in Utah. Yes, the same locale My Beloved Lindsay spent her summer. I’d have to say that this one hurts me more since Kirsten actually was on my last perfect mate list, checking in at #5 and beating Gwyneth Paltrow and Beth Orton. So I definitely had a thing for her. Sure, the red hair in Spider-Man had something to do with it but I always found her to be really attractive and she had legitimate talent. I had recently started to hear some tales from my sources about her habits though and a rehab trip isn’t a surprise. Sad, but not a surprise.

Since I’m really struggling for topics here right now I guess I’ll talk about Survivor. First off, I was watching the show only because I’ve taken a night off from trivia. Last night it came down to guessing the state quarter and I won based on my intense studies of what quarter a person may have in his pocket at any point in time. I needed a break after that and thought that watching the first episode of the new season would be a good idea.

This time they have ten fans going against ten favorites from past seasons. Since I’ve kind of fallen out of watching the show I only really knew three of them. Eliza I never really liked and I’m kind of surprised that she is on the show. Amy who is one of my absolute favorite players ever. She ran the game in a rather dictatorial manner and almost won as a result. And of course, Johnny Fairplay who everyone loves to hate.

I thought that this would be Fairplay’s game to lose. If I was playing he is the exact guy I would want around at all times. If you keep him to the finals you are guaranteed to win because no one is willing to grant him a million dollars. Or, whenever you feel the heat is on you you turn on Fairplay with the argument “how can you trust him? He’s the one to get rid of.” He’s a scapegoat and an ally all in one.

Well, Johnny decided to not play the game. His girlfriend is seven months pregnant and he felt better off by being voted out so he wouldn’t have to worry about her. That’s nice and all but it is a bit of a joke. It’s not like he didn’t know she was pregnant when he signed on for the show. Don’t know why this suddenly became an issue. Plus, it makes the show very boring very quickly. And that’s not a good thing.

Weekend’s coming. I’m planning on enjoying it. How I don’t have the vaguest clue.
