Just got home from seeing Spamalot.  It’s the Broadway musical adaptation of Monty Python and the Holy Grail.  It was fantastic.  Good blend of music, the original plot line and some new elements.

If you can quote the movie word for word (like I can) then you should definitely go see Spamalot.

They now have 1o MP cameras.  Do we really need 10 MP??

I’ve got pictures that I took that people thought were done by a professional with a mack daddy camera.  They were taken with my 4 MP camera.  I honestly can’t tell the difference once you hit 4+ MP.  Maybe my eye just isn’t trained well enough to tell the difference.

Well, thanks to my obsession with Guitar Hero, I have decided to sort of “re-learn” how to play guitar.  I used to play several years ago, but then just ind of stopped.  But now, thanks to Guitar Hero, I’ve decided that its time for me to start playing again.  My goal is to learn to play all the songs on both Guitar Hero’s.  I figure that if I can teach myself all of those songs, then I can pretty much teach myself anything.

We’ll see how it goes.

(For those wondering, my acoustic guitar is a Takamine G-Series electric acoustic and my electric guitar is a white Fender Stratocaster, like the one in Wayne’s World.)

Ghost Rider = Crap

The only redeming thing is that the director made every effort to display Eva Mendes’ breasts.

I spent last night at a bar watching Appetite for Destruction. They are a Guns N’ Roses tribute band that looks and sounds exactly like GNR.

Actually, they sound like GNR if you saw them in their prime (’87-’92) on a night when Axl didn’t leave the stage after 2 songs. They were unreal. It blew my mind how much the lead singer looked and sounded like Axl Rose.

If they are in your town, go see them. It’s worth the price of admission.

In fact, the more I think about it, I believe that Appetite for Destruction puts GNR in the top slot when talking about my favorite bands.  They were always a top 3, but I think this gives them the edge.  Now I can listen to my GNR stuff on my iPod AND I can see a GNR show from ‘87 to ‘92 (when they are in their prime), thanks to Appetite.  I think that firmly entrenches GNR in my favorite band slot.

This guy has set the bar impossibly high for the rest of us.

Thanks, douche bag.

Anna Nicole Smith died today at her Florida hotel.

If I wasn’t so tired, I’d make some witty and hilarious comments about her excessive use of Trim Spa and her heavy drinking.  But I’m too tired to do that, so just make up your own punch line.

Most people who frequent the gym are there because they need to lose some weight or get back in shape.  And to do so, they typically engage in activities and exercises that cause them to sweat; profusely at times.  With that bit of information, why would anyone ever want to attend naked sessions at the gym??

Do you really want to see a fat, hairy dude sweating as he struggles to squat 200 pounds??  Are you aching to see an overweight lady glisten with perspiration as she tries to master the stair master??

I didn’t think so.

I can remember a few years ago, there were rumors that Charles Barley was going to run for governor of Alabama.  When a reporter asked him about it, he responded, “Why would I want to be governor?  He only makes $60,000 a year.  That’s like one hand of blackjack.”

Guess that the $60k really isn’t that much for Barkley.

I love this show.  I watch it whenever it’s on.  However, the contestants are becoming more and more gimmicky as the show wears on.  It’s quickly escalating to the point that I’m pretty sure the “contestants” are paid actors who are told to act as absurd as possible when playing the game.

There can’t really be people out there similar to the ones that appear on this show.
