My name is
Charlie Murphy, and I approve this message.
Okay...if you haven't heard of
Gmail, then toss that
Commodore 64 out the window and get with the times. Like a nasty global pandemic of the
G-Dubs (the STD),
the Gmail juggernaut has spread to the far reaches of the country (thanks in most part to
GoogleCV). I have never been so happy with an email provider (
FREE no less). I love the ability to search to find the exact message you want, no matter when it was sent or received.
1000 megabytes (serious porn capacity) of free storage. Each message is grouped with all its replies and displayed as a conversation.
No pop-up ads. No untargeted banners.
BOVS ON THEM TEES. Best part about it...it's still in
beta quasi-underground country club phase ...which means to be a member, you must be invited by another member (um...Bob Connely...I was just trying to get some Tee Time -
Spoonie Luv). If you're cool enough, maybe
Charlie Murphy has one of his invites left with your name on it.
So I've been totally obsessed with this band
Athlete. New cd (
Vehicles and Animals) is featured in my hottness on the sidebar. Click on the link and purchase immediately. You won't be disappointed.
Recent reads of the current state in
Russia can't help but leave me with visions of the old hammer and sickle. Is is just me, or have the
outlandish statements and acts by current president
Vladimir Putin seem to be leaning towards the days of the
Red Machine? I'll keep an eye out...
Heads up
Gulf Coast (and my parents, who currently reside in the
Crescent City!),
Ivan seems determined to tear some shit up. What a crazy year for weather. 3 category 4 or greater hurricanes in less than 2 months...seriously...is the apocalypse upon us or something? If Ivan strikes the heart of New Orleans,
Jackson Square could end up looking something like
this!
Have you ever wondered what it is like to be a
Cubs fan? Want to practice? Watch the
Rangers. A diehard fan since my conception (do the names
Scott Fletcher, Oddibe McDowell, Pete O'brien and Icaviglia, Charlie Hough, Geno Petralli, Steve Beuchelle, Don Slaught mean anything to you??), I think I have slowly developed a condition over the years. Year after year...same story. Typically in contention for the first 3/4 of the season (thanks year in and year out to a stellar offense), the Rangers always fall as the last month or two of baseball come to a close.
Although I can't really complain this year thanks to a complete 180 from last season, I can't help but feel the pain of Chicago and Boston fans. Did anyone happen to catch the game last night (probably not). I was just about to finish the last of my volumes of readings when I looked up to see the camera zooming in on a
woman resembling Massive Head Wound Harry (Dana Carvey stizz). Rangers pitcher
Frank Francisco, apparently having enough of the taunting,
hurled a chair hammer-throw style at the first row of patrons, hitting 3 of them. Totally Unexcusable. As a professional athlete, you are expected to be able to hold your cool and act like a professional. You know going into this profession that there will be taunting, heckling, cell phone throwing, etc. Never should retaliation cross the mind, save for a breach in your own personal safety. I say give the jackass a lenghty suspension accompanied by a hefty fine. The dude will no doubt be sued as well. no buzz.
Speaking of
Dallas sports, if you love sports talk radio, become a P-1 and check out
The Hardline on KTCK The Ticket. I listen to the show every afternoon online. So Best!!!
Snake!!
Somewhat excited about a couple of upcoming movies. First on the list...
I Heart Huckabees. I love quirky little indie movies, and based on the buzz, this one seems to hold a lot of promise (
Schwartzman...so tigs).
Also somewhat aroused (no pun intended) about the upcoming
Dukes of Hazzard. Not only is
Boobie McGee (bovs on those sweater monkeys) officially cast as the ass-splitting
JORTS sponsor, but
Jay Chandrashekar of
Supertroopers (tits) and
Club Dread fame is writing and directing the remake. Word has it that he's trying to cast
Burt Reynolds as
Boss Hogg. No word yet as to who will play
Cooder! (not you, skunk stripe!)
Nothing makes
The Murph happier than when a young, beautiful female actress decides to shed her bubble-gum kiddie teen movie image by playing
peek-a-boobie in a more serious, artsy movie (
fobvs). In the upcoming movie
Havoc, Anne Hathaway of
Princess Diaries fame will supposedly be showing off her assets opposite
Bijou Phillips. Hathway had recently said, "I wish people wouldn't sensationalise seven seconds of a two-hour performance." Seriously...those people are like...so immature.
And
Adam Brody (from the
OC) has taken his ideas for a new
Revenge of the Nerds to director
McG (come on dude...use your real name). Plot line...the
AlphaBetas tease the dorks, a competition ensues,
Nerds rule the school. Sprinkle in a couple of
tatties here and there and you've got yourselves a true
ROTN installment. (and possibly a cameo by
Booger)
Alright bitches...
The Murph is off to the lap pool,
Michael Phelps stizz. May
bovs drip steadily down your own respective
tees this afternoon.
NATCH!
