I think I may have previously predicted that the David’s would be in the finals…so for the last several weeks, there haven’t really been any surprises.

We all knew that Brooke would never make it, and certainly not the apathetic alleged stoner Jason Castro who was finally removed last night. I’m a little surprised that it’s not Carly in the final three, but I think the showcase of tats finally got to the audience.

At this point, next week will be the only possible “big surprise” week of the season. Last season it was the Top 4 when Chris left. This time it will be a huge shocker if the final two is a boy/girl mix.

Honestly I don’t think that Syesha has any chance at winning the show, but she might give one of the David’s a run for their money into the finals. If that does happen, it will be this season’s big shocker moment for all of us. Those who still care that is. And I guess I’m assuming you care if you’re reading this, all two of you.

I wasn’t able to watch the performance show this week due to the magic of DirecTV not broadcasting the HD channel that I’d set as a season pass for AI. But from what I’ve read and heard, I didn’t miss very much. Actually, that’s not true - I saw exactly 11 minutes of the show - Jason’s final performance, and David Archuleta’s final performance. David was wonderful of course. We won’t talk about Jason any more.

Anyway…what I’m really looking forward to now is whether Dale will ever get kicked off Top Chef, and the season premier of So You Think You Can Dance coming up in just a few weeks :-).

First:

AP - Video-game publisher Take-Two Interactive Software Inc. said Wednesday that sales of its popular and eagerly anticipated title “Grand Theft Auto IV” reached more than $500 million in its first week of availability. [Link]

And then:

AP - Cablevision Systems Corp. is buying the Sundance Channel, a cable network founded by Robert Redford, for $496 million, the New York-area cable TV company announced Wednesday. [Link]

Is it just me, or is anyone else cracking up that a video game made more in a week than an entire cable network does when it sells? How sad.

I freely admit that I know nothing about the game other than what I’ve heard and read in the news lately, but I would much rather watch good independent film than pretend I’m a drunk driver and kill people.

That might possibly be the title of the next big book from author Heath L. Buckmaster.

But let me give you the background.

Today, David told me about a dream he had. Apparently we were were older, and I was a successful author. My dearling Rachelle had also apparently become famous, but in the dream he wasn’t sure what for, but it was some sort of “controversial” fame. This fame prompted me to write a memoir of my life with Rachelle.

The memoir was about how our relationship was basically a marriage without the sexual intimacy. And that’s not all that far from the truth in reality.

Then David paused a moment and told me that I was doing TV interviews promoting the book and all that in the dream, and that the book title was “If you only had a penis.” Well of course laughter ensued after that.

And you know that’s not that far from the truth. I told him that I would love to write a book with that title, because the title alone would help it sell.

So you may see something in a few years with an outlandish title and my name attached to it. If so, you’ll have read it here first :-).

Wow…just…wow….what kind of drugs are in those Coke glasses?

And I think we all know what I’m talking about.

I have nothing more to say about the topic except that thank goodness we don’t have to hear any more from Mrs. Oops I did it again can I restart the song?

Sacramento has gone from the gloriously crisp 60’s to the abysmally wretchedly hot low 90’s. Granted, this isn’t as hot as it’s going to get in the July/August months but come on. We’re not out of April yet and I had to use the a/c last night because the house got up to 81 degrees.

Who can sleep when it’s 81 degrees??

Thankfully, today is COOLER than yesterday, and it looks like we’re in for a mid-70’s week which I can tolerate. Too bad rain isn’t in the forecast.

In other news…

It’s Monday.

Why create this book? Good question. Most people who have been following my writing for the last several years have probably seen one or more of these posts and have fallen over in laughter (or else they were drunk while reading them – which I can’t fault them for).

But there are many folks out there who for one reason or another (probably the lack of a good RSS Reader) may have never been exposed to the deliciousness that is Homo sarcasmus. Now keep in mind, I’m talking strictly about adults. This stuff isn’t for the faint of heart, or for those who would blush hearing about dieresis, or diarrhoea for that matter. Oh, and I also talk about Michael Jackson quite a bit, because let’s face it…he rocks.

It’s also not for children because in many cases I have used “language”, and I think we all know what that means when you put quotation marks around it. Actually, the worst you’re going to get is probably hell. Or maybe damn. Actually, I think I used darn instead of damn in the one case I recall. Hell damn yes.

Under no circumstances will you see something like ****. That isn’t my style and I don’t go that way, so in that regard, it’s pretty much safe.

Anyway – this is Volume 1.0 of the best of, and depending upon sales, there may or may not be a Volume 2.0. It’s really up to you. What’s it going to be?

I bought a new car.

Actually, I bought a new car at the end of December 2007, and it just arrived. After 4 long and impatient months I am the proud owner of a Saab 9-3 Aero.

It was time to say goodbye to the Volvo. After some very unacceptable customer service experiences I decided to take my business elsewhere. It’s sad really, because I enjoyed the car when it wasn’t in the shop being further damaged by the service team. And to Volvo Customer Care: shame on you for not taking care of a customer, especially a brand loyal customer.

Probably a good thing I dumped it too - it lost over half it’s resale value after 2.5 years and 19000 miles. That’s pretty crappy in my book. Shame on you Ford for buying Volvo and demolishing it.

So onward and upward to the Saab. Every time I say it, I pronounce it like I’m saying Da’an from Earth Final Conflict. Say it with me now, Sah-ahb. That’s nice.

Anyhoo - you’ll soon see me sportin’ it around town. Cheers!
