Random Rambling...

*I'm really beginning to question the integrity of the Pittsburgh Steelers football organization. Well, the players at least. First it was Jeff Reed peeing in public and resisting arrest last fall, then Ben Roethlisberger and his previous motorcycle accident (no helmet? no brains!), his first sexual assault troubles... now yet another "questionable encounter" and investigation, add to that Santonio Holmes' new problems and I'm starting to think we're turning into a certain NFL team in Ohio.
If you really want to continue, I could also mention the former Steelers issues - namely Plaxico Burress and his freakin' self-inflicted gunshot wound, and now Joey Porter arrested for DUI and belligerence.
WTF, people?
Hell, at least Michael Vick and Ray Lewis never played here.

*Ricky Martin is gay! Livin' la vida loca apparently means something else to him than it does to me. But hey, I'm okay with it. So why wasn't he for the last twenty years or so?

And what are he and his buddy doing over here at left...?

*What is up with this Heidi Montag chick? I mean, she is so completely pointless and talentless that it amazes me to no end that she (and her goofy husband) still get press. First of all, they aren't really actors in the true sense of the word. Secondly, she totally morphed into a whole different person with all this plastic surgery (Really, Faith Hill should consider suing her). And now she's writing a movie about 3D boobs? Say it ain't so. That story was filed not under 'Entertainment' on MSN, but under 'Weird News' - which to me, sounds about right.

*Jesse James.
Wow.
What the hell was he thinking?

*Sandra Bullock.
Wow.
What the hell was she thinking?

*My husband hates basketball on tv. I hate basketball on tv.
Hence, no March Madness for us. Yay!
All the television interruptions have only given us more time to get caught up on all the crap we've DVR'd in the last few months!
That being said, I was mortified when Kentucky lost. Boo.

*Speaking of Kentucky. Early KY Derby (5/1/10) predictions?
Eskendereya. Odysseus. Dublin. Rule. Awesome Act. Lookin at Lucky.
Or some other horse!
Ask me again in mid-April...

*I really wish people would stop seeing Jesus and/or other religious images in pieces of toast, oil deposits, clouds, and other random places. I don't believe for one iota that a dental X-ray shows the Pope's face in it or that that Cheeto is shaped like Jesus on the cross. Sorry. Get a grip people.

*California is seriously considering legalizing marijuana. You know what happens when they do?
People start seeing Jesus' face in their morning cinnamon bun.

*Is everyone out there watching "Justified" on Tuesday nights on FX? If not, you better jump on that bandwagon pronto! Not only is it a really good show, but Timothy Olyphant is to die for. Top notch show from a station that keeps putting increasingly good shows on the air. Nip/Tuck, Sons of Anarchy.... and shows I haven't seen but hear good things about -Damages, The Shield, and Rescue Me.

Justified follows a Kentucky-bred US Marshall under scrutiny for questionable use of force (that's putting it mildly - basically he likes to shoot people) in a recent case and has been reassigned from Florida to his hometown of Harlan, KY., and he brings his own gun-slinging kind of justice with him.

It's all kinds of awesome.
{And can I just make mention that a town very close here (Kittanning for you locals) has been a filming location. Hmm... western PA filling in for eastern Kentucky. Yep, seems about right.}

*Recently I saw two very good movies that I reviewed over on my other blog,Fascination with Fear. Neither are not the horrifying, gory films I watch so much of. "Lake Mungo" (reviewed here) is a fantastic mockumentary about a girl who drowned at a family outing, and "Moon" (reviewed here) is one of the best films I've seen in quite some time. An astronaut is reaching the end of a three year stint in space when something rather unusual occurs. It reminds most people of the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey, but it is so much more than that - and soooo not as boring. I highly recommend it, even if you aren't much for sci-fi. (I like science fiction considerably less than full-on horror, so you can trust me.)

Oh, and I made a few creative changes to that blog - a bit of a face lift if you will. It seems a bit more streamlined and neat now. Or maybe that's just me. Either way, it's staying that way, because it was a pain in the ass getting everything the way I wanted it.

*I'm really not impressed with this season of American Idol. Matter of fact, I tend to think it's the worst season I've seen yet. If Crystal Bowersox (who is a cross between Alanis Morrisette and Janis Joplin) doesn't win I'll eat my hat. Besides her and one, maybe two other people - there is very little that stands out.
And while I'm bitching, please make someone END those rot-gut live group performances on Wednesday (results) night. Gah! Soooooo very awful. Thank heavens for the MUTE button.

And why the hell don't any of the contestants pick songs from the last twenty years....like, evah?

If I hear another crappy Motown redeux I will seriously choke on my chocolate Cherrios. And please, kids - no more of the following:

No Mariah Carey.

No Celine Dion.
No Christina Aguilera.

No Michael Jackson.

No Stevie Wonder.

No Queen.

No Whitney Houston.

And stop covering 'Unchained Melody' by The Righteous Brothers, 'Against All Odds' by Phil Collins, 'I Will Always Love You' by Whitney Houston, and 'I Don't Wanna Be' by Gavin DeGraw.

And for the love of God, please stop singing the songs of previous Idol winners. Especially in your less than stellar auditions. Bleck!

*Well that would appear to be all I have for this random post.

Till next time...
