Sebbylite

What do you give the guy/girl that has it all? Why the Nicolas Cage Adventure Set, of course. What better shows off your cinematic savoir faire then having his beaut on your fridge?

Plus that Nic Cage is just so dreamy…

Oh, and i was born. Good year.

So it turns out that Jeopardy is having online tests to get new contestants. Which is actually a great idea: it cuts down on costs for the show and the contestants, and it allows more people to take the test for the show.

The thing that pisses me off about it though is that I have a basketball game this Thursday during the Pacific Coast time slot. Eff.I bet I’d get my ass kicked at the test, but I’d still like to take it.

Anyway, if you are interested, here are the time slots to try out for Jeopardy!

The only tv that I watch is on Tuesday nights, Scrubs and Love Monkey. I used to watch more, but they kept cancelling my shows (Friends, Joey), so now I only watch those two. And I’m not saying that there isn’t more good tv out there, I’m just saying that I limit myself to these two shows because they are awesome, and this way I’m not wasting more than 2 hours a week sitting in front of a tv doing nothing when I have so much work to do (see I Suck to learn what I need to be doing).

First things first, Scrubs is amazing. It is the single funniest show I have ever watched, and I’m proud to say that I’ve been there since the beginning. This guy I worked with in Northfield, MN (his name was John L., so we called him Sven) and I used to watch it every week over dinner and beer way back in ’01. And the rest is , as they say, history.

Although I will say this: if Zach Braff can make it in this world, I think that I’m going to be ok. Honestly, he’s a nerd, he’s not that good looking, and he can’t run (one of my biggest pet peeves is when they make actors run on screen, and you get to really see how uncoordinated they truly are). So, since I can run, and I am a nerd, and I’m not that good looking, I think there’s hope.

Second, if you haven’t started watching Love Monkey yet, you really need to start. The guy that plays JD’s older brother on Scrubs (Tom Cavanagh (also the guy from Ed) is an A/R guy for an Indie record label who has a close group of friends, a rock star client, a love interest/co-worker (who I find totally annoying, but his group of friends more than make up for it), and a lot of laughs. Some of the more memorable quotes that I remember from the last few shows:

“That man is a converstaional cul-de-sac.”

(To his old boss at the big label record company who says that they are both the same) “We are not the same. At the end of the day, you have your high rise corner office and your view of the river, and I, I have a lot less money than you…”

“Just buddy tape it.”

Of course it seems to be going around the rumor mill that after the first 6 episodes, the show is going to be cancelled. What a crock. So I urge you to write a letter to CBS (go the the feedback button at the bottom of the page) asking them to keep the show on the air. It probably won’t work, since when did the companies actually care about what the people actually want to watch, but it is worth a try.

And remember, the most important thing here is to keep my tv watching habits regular, and not to make me watch reality TV (if I really wanted to watch some crappy reality television show, I would just take a video camera around with me all day long).

I admit, I’ve been gone for a while now. My bad. Don’t blame me, blame my neighbors. They are the ones that password protected their wireless hotspot, leaving me in the dusty but wifi-less air.

Of course I’m kidding, I would never condone stealing someone else’s wireless access. That is just as bad as stealing music.

But I do not currently have internet access, which is why I have left this gaping void in Sebbylite after such an auspicious start (hey, if I don’t toot my own horn, it won’t get tooted). Right now, I am at the Frat House (long story) using their internet connection while watching Monday Night Football. And by watching football, I mean watching the commercials that have become so much more entertaining than the game itself (why is it that professional sports are so damn boring until the playoffs these days?) – my favorites so far are the Snickers commercials.

Irregardless (which is or is not a word depending upon who you ask), I will tell you what I have been up to lately in a few short words:

Returned to Seattle. Got job. Got apartment. Need furniture. Need internet. Paying bills. Starting purification. Got Nano. Etc.

Some people that I need to give a shoutout to:

• Chingo Dreams – read it, you’ll laugh your ass off.
• 6’2″ – knowing that I’m not the only one out there in the position I’m in.
• Process of Illumination – one of the Sebbylite faithful (before it was even Sebbylite).

Song of the Moment: Morphine, “In Spite of Me”
Favorite TV Show: Scrubs
DVD’s Currently Watching: The Dead Zone, Season II; A Nightmare on Elm Street; Chronicles of Riddick (remember when Vin Diesel was cool, before he did Disney movies )
Best New CD: Harvey Danger, “Little By Little”
Best Time Consuming Game: Gravity

I know that this is a lot of information in a short period of time, but I probably won’t be able to post again for a while (at least until I go home for Christmas, which is always an interesting time), so you can just take your time and let it sink in slowly.

Until then.

I recently found the “Garden State” weblog, which is authored by Zach Braff himself. And I have to say that I am disappointed in the human race.

First off, Zach’s posts are alright, even though they do violate a couple different rules of blogging (don’t frigging apologize to people in a post about not posting stuff. Just post stuff!). The thing that really bugs me are the comments. Each time Zach posts, he gets anywhere from 800-3600 comments. What do people say? Do they have anything to say regarding what he just posted? Nope, not really. They just schmooze. The only reason that they post is that this is someone who is famous, and they want their 15 seconds of fame by posting on his site.

Secondly, I’m not trying to slam Zach Braff. I think that he’s an awesome actor, writer, and director. Scrubs is the only show that I watch on TV (and if you took a bastard step-child of JD and the Janitor, you would have me), Garden State was a pretty sweet movie, and I really enjoy all the other work that he has done/is doing.

Check out this Beer Commercial

I have to admit that I’m not a big Heinieken fan (up to and including not being able to spell Heinikin correctly, or even giving a damn enough to look it up), but I may have to try one because of this viral.

I know that one of the guys is a “professional” breakdancer (the guy that looks like Wolverine), but I don’t know who everyone else is in the video. If anyone knows, let me in on the secret. I’d be interested in seeing more of their work. I’d also be interested in knowing what the name of the song is that is playing during the clip. Again, if you know, let me in.

If you want to see more ridiculous breakdancing videos, check these out:
B-Boy Junior aka Buana – plain a simple, he is an absurd specimen of human being.
Another clip with Buana – the funny thing is that Buana ended up taking second or third in this competition. It would be pretty awesome to see more of the guy that ended up first.
And a series of bodybuilders doing “the Robot” here and here.

‘New Snickers Commercial

Honestly, this is one of the funniest commercials I’ve seen. Great stuff, and really makes me want a candy bar…
