In my long list of "moments in history I wish I was physically present for," this ranks 74th, right before King Tut's burial and just after Babe Ruth's called shot. It's a video of Matt Costa, G. Love, Donavon Frakenreiter, and ALO in a bar in Brazil earlier this month, and looks like it was a hoot.

 This is a picture of Hawaii quarterback Colt Brennan. You might be thinking to yourself that this is the first time he and this blog have been so closely tied, but you'd be wrong because his name and this blog were mentioned in the same article yesterday. Charles Meminger, a fine journalist for the Honolulu Star-Bulletin, writes a column called "Honolulu Lite," and yesterday the topic was man caves. He's under the impression that this is a "popular internet site," so he contacted me to answer a couple of questions.
In honor of this grand achievement, I'm going to give the next person who submits a man cave profile an all expenses paid Hawaiian vacation*.
* = I'm lying.

This list was sent to me by my dad. It was originally a list of 13, but I had to whittle it down to 10 because this is a family-oriented site.

 I apologize to all of you for the mini-hiatus, but I have a good reason: I watched every episode of Friday Night Lights Season 1 in the past two nights. This must be what Lloyd Christmas felt like after he and Harry drove all the way to Colorado to find Mary Sampsonite Swanson: I'm exhausted, yet strangely rejuvenated. Anyway, I wish I had some great epiphany for you after 14 hours of what boils down to soap opera about football, but I don't. I do, however, offer you this nugget: Minka Kelly, who plays Lyla Garrity in the show, was fathered by a former guitarist for Aerosmith. The lovely Liv Tyler was also fathered by an Aerosmith-smith (Steven Tyler), a fact that I find absolutely fascinating and I dare any of you to find me two better looking daughters from any band ever. We're back to normal postings starting today. And be sure to tune in Monday for what will either be a cornerstone moment for this blog (and myself personally) or a fantastically insignificant moment for this blog (and myself personally). You'll see what I mean. |

I remember it vividly. It was a Wednesday night in the fall of my junior year of college, and I turned on my TV just in time to hear the words "stay tuned for the series premiere of Lost. Next." by that guy with the really low and menacing voice. Then we get the close up of Jack's eye, the zoom out to see him lying on the jungle floor, the screaming off in the distance, the running through the jungle, the burning fusilage on the beach.. and the rest is history. So now, less than three months from the premiere of season 4, it looks like we'll have to wait even longer for the premiere. There are eight episodes ready to go, but the 8th episode is a cliffhanger so the producers don't want to air the episodes if the writer's strike stretches on into February (which it probably will). There is some good news, though, if you're into that mini-webisode stuff.

We were skiing on white grass, but at least we were skiing.
