How did I forget about this song???

So I was thinking about my top ten movie list, and I thought about my number 1: Bottle Rocket ... and all of the sudden I realized that my favorite song from it's soundtrack was not on my iPod!!! So I quickly ran to iTunes and purchased "Alone Again Or" by the group Love. This song is so amazing .. so calming and smooth .... please give it a listen. I would put it in my top ten songs ... hmm ... I smell another list coming soon. : )

Today was all about yard work. My parents helped me out as we weeded the backyard, where the new grass is growing pretty well. I also took a tv antennae and satelite dish from a previous owner off of my roof. Getting to go on the roof is always cool, right? My pops and I also fixed up a window in my kitchen. Some nice work got done.

I then got to go out to dinner with my friend Matt Morris. We went to our new mexy restaurant in town, Casa Grande ... which is turning into one of my favs. I had the white-cheese tacos!! weeeeeeeeee!!! It was fun catching up with Matt. It was also awesome how the TVs in the place had spanish closed caption going ... I really need to get on that Rosetta Stone.

Nice little Saturday.

12 Toes?

Ha ... I saw Linda Cohn on Sports Center while in the gym ... I didn't know she still was on that.... but anyways, it reminded me on how Tony Kornheiser always claimed that she had 12 toes.... but it wasn't 6 and 6. He always said it was 12 the hard way .. hahahahha 4 - 8 ... 12 the hard way is awesome. I miss Kornheiser's radio show .. alot.

Tonight I worked out, had a greek salad from Ziffles Rib Bar ... watched a bunch of indian kids spell words, watched some nba ... and will cap the night with Twin Peaks.

This Guy

I saw this guy at the gym tonight ... he was wearing sun glasses on top of his head while he was lifting. I found this very unsettling.

I watched the movie Ghost World last night and found it pretty good. Tonight I will watch more Twin Peaks ... I am getting close to finishing it.

I put together my top 1o film and tv lists .. I guess I will post them:

Here are my top ten TV shows:

10. Parker Lewis Can't Lose - Weird, quirky humor with a great collection of different characters.

9. The Muppet Show - Classic and always funny. Beaker is the best, dude.

8. Gilmore Girls - My guilty pleasure ... I always had a crush of Alexis Bledel, but it's Lauren Graham that steals the show. Great dialogue too.

7. Curb Your Enthusiasm - A whole series about George Costanza ... haha ... Larry David is genius.

6. It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia - The characters are all despicable ... but that's what makes them so funny. Such a wicked comedy that doesn't hold back .... I believe it is the best comedy still being made.

5. Arrested Development - The characters are so funny ... I find myself having a new favorite character every time I watch. I can't wait till the movie!! I need my Bluths!

4. Seinfeld - Not much I can say ... a masterpiece of comedy ....

3. The Wonder Years - What an amazing, touching show. I can't believe how well it is made, and the music in it is great. The characters are so real. This is the show that has pushed me to tears more than any other.

2. Lost - This changed the way I believed a TV show could be made. The mystery, character development, music .... so great. This is the only show I watched marathon style when I first go the dvds ... like 8 episodes in a row at a time, heh ... so good.

1. The Adventures of Pete and Pete - This show is amazing ... Nickelodeon was so cool back then ... but this show was the best. It's twisted humor mixed with remembering things from my childhood was awesome. This was an adult show masked as a kid's show. The humor is weird and has gone a long way in shaping my sense of humor. All the characters were great too ... the song at the start of the show is my ringtone : )

and here are my top 10 film list:

10. Heavyweights - I am not a huge fan of slapstick comedy, but this film just gets me. It is what I think to be Ben Stiller's best comedic role, as the crazy fitness instructor.

9. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - Really great acting from Jim Carey & Kate Winslett plus a great thought provoking story ... almost trippy.

8. Swingers - What a fun, cool, funny guys movie. I like the laid back feel it has, and it feels very realistic.

7. The Royal Tenenbaums - Awesome surreal world that Anderson builds with a great all-star cast. It has a great dreamy feel to it that I like and has great dry humor.

6. The Virgin Suicides - This movie is all about the haunting and surreal feel to the film. The whole thing almost feels like a dream. It also has great music that adds to the flavor. It is chilling story that really puts you into the character of the young boys ... who ended up knowing nothing about the girls ... just like we as viewers feel at the end ... why did they do it?

5. The Big Lebowski - This movie is just cool. It has awesome humor, and it is very quotable. The character of The Dude is amazing, John Goodman is great in this, and you can't forget about the Nihilists ... WE BELIEVE IN NOSSSSTHHING, LEBOOOWWWSKI .. ha

4. Snatch - Cool, stylized film ... cool characters ... funny ...one of the best opening sequences to any film I have see.

3. Rushmore - Smart, funny film with a great soundtrack. Bill Murray is awesome ... Jason Schwartzman is fantastic and is very believable in his role. The film is so maticulous, you can tell that everything in the film has been thought through with the greatest detail. I love that this old business man and young student can strike up a friendship ... but they are both ruthless .. ha

2. Raiders of the Lost Ark - It's really hard to think of a more enjoyable movie to watch ... great action and comedy ... you can't ask for more .. perfection.

1. Bottle Rocket - This is the film that introduced me to the dry humor in movies that I have come to love. It basically shaped my sense of humor. The characters and dialogue in this film are so funny. Every time I watch it, new things jump out and crack me up ... the subtle things are great. EVeryone needs to give this film a try ... It's the Wilson bros. jump off and also Wes Andersons

PEDRO PAN!!!

Pedro Pan & Taco Bell .... had to get this posted ... laters

huH?

Today at work this lady crossed my path 7 ft. away from me and said, "Excuse me." This left me baffled. What was I supposed to say or do? We weren't even close to each other. It was really weird, and I didn't care for it ... so I went and set down in my cubicle for 9 hours and then went home. What a day.

I lifted weights, jogged the neighborhood, and then made some bbq, bacon cheeseburgers on the grill ... pretty tasty. All my shows are pretty much over on TV ... gonna start hitting the Rosetta Stone: Spanish pretty hard this summer .... speaking of Spanish ... how funny does Pedro Pan sound and his Los Muchachos Perdidos (credit to Heather) .... I must draw this ... LATER

Steak dinner for 1?

Tonight I had a steak dinner all by myself ... kinda lonely. Seems like the steak dinner should be reserved for special occasions when more people are around. It was good though ... I had a t-bone steak, baked potato, green beans, and ceasar salad ... mmmm

I had a busy day ... mowed the lawn, killed weeds, lifted weights, jogged in the neighborhood, and layed out in the sun like a girl ....

GET UP!!!!

I have been wanting to get up to work out in the morning for a long time, but every time the alarm goes off I just reset it for later and end up going to the gym after work instead. I feel like i need the alarm clock hardwired into my brain to be able to achieve my goal. I am going to try to get up again tomorrow.

/me crosses fingers

Tonight was the Fringe season finale ... it was pretty good. I am hoping the Lost finale destroys it tomorrow, though.

Frosted Mini Wheats are about 50% of what they could be

I have been getting Frosted Mini-Wheats lately and have noticed how good the frosted side is and how blah the unfrosted side is. I wonder if they sell them with both sides frosted .... that would be amazing.

I came home from work and mowed my lawn tonight and went and shopped for some groceries. I can never really think of what kind of meals to buy ... I am pretty bad at it.

There's no such thing as a free lunch

I got a gift from the good Colonel today. Free grilled chicken meal from KFC c/o Oprah. It was descent ... except I waited for 45 minutes lolzssshaaggga .... and they ran out of cole slaw right when I got to the counter : ( The best part was that they wouldn't let me substitute another side item, instead I had to have a double portion of mashed potatos. All in all it probably wasn't worth it .... maybe at a later date things will calm down.

I hit the gym again ..... and ........ LOST is on tonight!!!! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

cinco'D

I didn't do anything remotely involved with cinco de mayo today, unless guacamole on my burgers again counts. I watched a cool episode of Fringe and hit the gym again. Nothing much happened today .... meh

There's a new sheriff in town

Guacamole has taken over my number one condiment spot. Easily dethroning mustard, along with its tag-a-long ketchup. I used it on my burgers that I grilled tonight, and it was great. Now I am wondering what else it could be good on ... turkey sandwiches ... maybe even hot dogs ??? mmmmm ....

I hit the gym and watched some TV with my roommate tonight. I am starting to feel really fit.

Darjeeling Ltd. > Slumdog Millionaire

Tonight I got to Slumdog it for the first time ever. I went to an Indian restaurant with the entire Rohrs Clan. My first time having Indian food. It was spicy, but it was pretty good. They treated me for helping them move tonight. I am gonna help them finish with the move in the morning.
