WEBSITES. facebook

im starting to get it. im starting to see why so many people spend so much time on facebook. since joining facebook i have enjoyed the fact that it allows me to find some people who i thought might have fallen off the face of the earth, but i didnt really see much use for it other than that. but lately ive really been getting a kick out of reading everyones updates.

while im at work in the middle of the night i have been checking facebook on my phone during the boring half hour break i get. its been fun seeing what everyone is up to, keeping in touch with them without actually being in touch (strange, but accurate).

but i feel bad about reading everyone elses updates. the reason i feel bad is because i dont ever update my own page, and i have no desire to either. i feel like im benefiting from everyone elses work, but im not willing to do the same myself. i guess i figure that i update this blog enough that if someone really wants to know what im up to, they can visit the blog and find out.

i feel bad, granted, but not enough to do anything about it. ill just keep checking out others updates and continue keeping silent about myself. suckers...

TOYS. lego batman

this past weekend i quick stopped in at a toys r us and happened to see this. its a seven foot tall batman made out of legos! it was on display along with all the latest batman toys tied in with the new movie. it was really cool.

TV. americone dream

each year ben and jerrys ice cream company makes a new flavor or two based on a celebrity. this year its 'good bye yellow brickle road' with elton john. but last year was the one that really peeked my interest: it was called 'steven colberts americone dream'.

steven mentioned it several times on the colbert report, and it sounded really good: its ice cream with fudge, carmel, and bits of waffle cone in it.

always wanting to support mr. colbert, i wanted to get some and try it, but it was never around. yesterday though, i finally spotted it and picked one up! i tried some last night, and ive got to say, its really good!

TV. last comic standing

one of the shows i love to watch over the summer is 'last comic standing'. its not like most other reality shows, i think, because its actually entertaining to watch! this show doesnt dig too deep into the contestants personal lives, and leaves the fake drama out (for the most part), instead it just lets the comedians do their comedy and lets us enjoy some really funny stand up comedians give it their best shot.

now that the casting call portion of the show is over, its time to get down to business. this past thursday was the first elimination round, and it was a good one! there are a couple comedians who i really enjoy and am pulling for. the funniest in my opinion is a guy named jeff dye. very funny. but, im going out on a limb here, and im going to make a prediction: i think this will be the first time in six seasons that a woman will win the show. and that woman will be iliza shlesinger. she is hysterical. in the first head to head challenge she faced esther ku and a duo called 'gods pottery' and blew them both out of the water. keep an eye on her, i think shes going all the way.
