My inner twelve-year-old is pleased...

For a long while now, my favorite baseball player name has been Albert Pujols. Why, you ask? Because it's pronounced "poo-holes". I can't hear that name or see his picture without smiling. Because I'm a child. An immature child. Pujols, seen here,



plays first base for the St. Louis Cardinals and he hits the ball really, really far.

So last night I'm watching the much-maligned World Baseball Classic (it's maligned mostly because it sucks) and Japan was playing Korea because the USA slacksters had been eliminated and who should come to the plate but my new favorite name, Bum Ho Lee.



Lee ripped a shot to left that sent the game to extra innings, but that wasn't important. What was important was the grown men professional sportscasters who had to say his name over and over again. I giggled for an hour.

Am I alone here? Does anybody else think this is funny? Cartman? Beavis? Back me up here.

And while we're on the topic of what my inner moron thinks is funny, I present to you a veritable potpourri of celebrity shtuff that amuses...












Okay bye bye.

Movies I Watched in February, 2009

These are (obviously, if you read the title) the movies I watched last month, in alphabetical order.

1. the Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension
2. An American Carol
3. Children of Men
4. the Departed
5. the Good, the Bad and the Ugly
6. Hancock
7. Idiocracy
8. Layer Cake
9. Manos Hands of Fate (MST3K version)
10. Mission Impossible 3
11. Raising Arizona
12. Rushmore
13. Serenity
14. Seven Samurai
15. Top Secret
16. Tokyo Gore Police
17. Wanted
18. Withnail & I

So I did someting this month that I almost never do: I actually turned three of these movies off before finishing them. I rarely do this to any movie, let alone multiple flicks. I did this because they were just not working for me and to be honest I didn't want to waste my time. It probably is no coinicidence that I gave up on all three in about a weeks time, so we'll blame it on me, not them? Okay? Okay.

Brownie points to anyone who can guess the proper three that I rejected.

Also, I felt as if I just didn't get many movies watched in February. Is watching 18 (well, 15 and change) movies in a short month bad? Average? Anyone out there watching more? Less? Am I just being a total weirdo? Feedback please...
