All-star Game @ MindSay

FOX just had "Stark Raving Dad", one of THE best Simpsons episodes EVER on.

I know, I know, everyone is kind of sick of all the focus that's been placed on Michael Jackson since he passed away.  I don't spend a lot of time with media, so I think I'm less sick of it than most others, (I also don't think I really believe that he's gone) but ... it was absolutely perfect.  I call my best friend Lisa EVERY YEAR on her birthday, and sing, "Lisa it's your birthday ... happy birthday Lisa" thanks to this episode.  Find a way to watch it if you've never seen it. 

Sidenote, the All-Star line-ups have been put up, and I am SOOOOOOOOO excited for the game!  I loooove baseball.  Why is Ted Lilly the only Cub on the team, though?  The NL is stupid, this is proof, but I am excited to see D. Wright, Yadi, and Zimmerman get to play.  I am an AL girl all the way, and am super excited to see our finest kick NL ass AGAIN for home-field advantage, but this is the one time of the year I'm supposed to be able to see everyone at once.  Game is going to kick ass.

On a more unrelated thought, I need new music.  Preferably, music that one can work up a nice sweat to.  I am someone who needs a lot of motivational noise to keep running/ellipticalling when working out. 
All suggestions welcome :)

I can't believe the Los Angeles Lakers are actually ok with this.

Despite suffering a torn tendon and broken bone in his pinkie, Kobe Bryant will play in Sunday night's NBA All-Star Game, according to a Lakers spokesperson.

Bryant suffered the injury -- initially described as a dislocated pinkie -- on Feb. 5 against New Jersey. The Lakers disclosed Thursday that the damage was more extensive than first thought. The injury included a torn radial collateral ligament and an avulsion fracture in the pinkie.

I think it's long overdue for me to do a Thoughts Of Randomosity blog:

- Flight Of The Conchords is fast becoming my reason for living. I cannot get "dick meeting" out of my head. I sit at my desk, say "ginger balls" to myself and start laughing out loud.

- I was originally leaning towards watching The Bronx Is Burning on ESPN but I'm starting to
decide that I don't care. I'm so sick of hearing about the New York Yankees on that station. I'd rather just not watch ESPN at all.

- The All-Star game was actually pretty decent this year. Jose Reyes is easily one of the most exciting players in baseball right now. The Mets can have like 7 Sox players for him right now. Also, it was no surprise to me to see Alex Rodriguez turn in such a mediocre performance once again. For a guy that the media just gushes over, he made almost no difference in the game's outcome once again. When he helps a team win it all, then I'll nod in agreement. Until then, I'll just say "yes, he's good" and maintain that he's overrated.

- "Dick meeting"......still hilarious to me.

- I wish more stores carried games for Macintosh. The closest places that do are at least 45 minutes to an hour away from me. Annoying. I want Age Of Empires 3. I might just break down after I graduate and buy an inexpensive Windows laptop for gaming.

- I hate fruit flies....a lot.

I'm watching baseball's all-star game.  I got all excited when the National League got an early lead, but I guess my excitement was premature...they're losing 3-1 now.  It's been so long since they've won the all-star game, I'm beginning to lose hope.  It's not like there's a scarcity of talent....they've got plenty of awesome players.  They just can't manage to win.

Vlad Guerrero won the home run derby last night.  I miss him being in the national league.

I actually have the night off, on the night of the NHL all-star game.  :)  I was checking the listings to see what channel it's on, and it's on Versus.  WTF?!?  I didn't even know that was a channel!

I know that hockey is not an incredibly popular sport, but they can't even show it on ESPN2 or FOX Sports or something?  Geez.
