the second compact disc i ever bought.

was this gem right here:

favorite tunes included "if it wasn't for you," "love is not like this" and of course the (un)classic, "castles on quicksand."

my childhood saturday mornings regularly consisted of waking up at 9:55 a.m., rolling downstairs to the tv (shocker), turning on saved by the bell and then staying with tnbc through california dreams/hang time/guys next door/nba inside stuff. then i would turn to fox at noon for an hour of wwf, followed by one hour of american gladiators.

you're probably horrified for me. but honestly, it was a BRILLIANT childhood. i feel like it taught me versatility or diversity or something important like that. the wwf montage link above really took me back - it's been more than a decade since i've thought about the big boss man or tito santana. MAN, those were the days. nineties tv might be my favorite tv of all time. except veronica mars. and he-man, master of the universe. and 30 rock. it's so hard to pick just one. how do you pick a favorite child? cause this decision is just like that.

anyway, this was all brought on by this teaser:



yippee!

(my first cd? "everything i do (i do it for you)". i know, i know. but for some reason i really liked kevin costner when i was 11. no, seriously.)

when headline writers attack.

did you hear? circuit city is (finally) closed for good. 30k jobs lost. good thing it seems to be keeping headline writers employed. creative genius spotted online includes:

Plug pulled on Circuit City
After 60 years Circuit City powers down
Lights go down on Circuit City stores

and my favorite thus far:

Best Buy Says Goodbye to Circuit City

good burn, gizmodo! once down, i also like kicking men. or something like that.

p.s. this cycle of celebrity apprentice is pretty much awesome. and HILARIOUS. and sorry scott hamilton, i usually enjoy your skate america color commentary, but you are just coming off as a BITCH on this episode. team tom green.

p.p.s. (spoiler alert!) scott was fired, but only after he and tom green made a hilariously inappropriate joke on how, between the two of them, they have a full set. sorry for calling you a bitch, scott. talk about kicking down men. my bad.

i ♥ police blotters.

every time i go home to my parents' house, i always read the police blotter in the local weeklies. this is partly because i have an excellent sense of curiosity and literacy, but mostly because i want to see if anyone i knew growing up was caught doing something comprising/naughty/embarrassing/illicit enough to be documented in the free neighborhood newspaper.

anyway, i was reminded of this resume-building trait as a result of the following snippet:

also, what does " 'rectum problems' " mean?
