News Flash: You're Old.

Seriously. Who watches wrestling? Who watches old dudes wrestling? There's apparently some people that think this fight was real, but I call shenanigans, as Hulk Hogan (age 56) and Ric Flair (age 60... 60!!!! THAT'S MY DAD'S AGE) have wrestled before...in 1994... and apparently Ric Flair is coming out of retirement. How do I know all this, do you ask? No. I don't watch wrestling. Wikipedia, my friends!

(1) Unopened Classic Sysco brand Liberty Creamy Caesar dressing.

This is a one gallon jar that was mis-ordered at my work. I brought it home by my roomates told me that we already have enough Creamy Dressing in our fridges.

I would hate to see all this Creamy Dressing go to waste- Think of all the salads you could toss with it!

Perhaps we could arrange a Creamy Dressing exchange.

Failing that, I am willing to unload all of this Creamy Dressing for free.

Seriously, come get this Creamy Dressing off my hands.

E-mail only please. First come first serve basis.

I especially like the demonstrative photo that the jar is, in fact UNOPENED.

Proposal FAIL

I am all about the videos this week!! Ah well. Sometimes your brain needs to take a little vacation.

On to the video from NBC New York... this dude prepared a romantic proposal for his girlfriend on the Brooklyn Bridge, with all of their family present for the moment... AND DROPPED THE RING INTO TRAFFIC. She cries. I'm heartless apparently; I'd be the family member laughing at Butterfingers and recording him jump into oncoming traffic to get it.

Robert Pattinson Misinterprets the Less Than Subtle Difference Between Dirty-Hot and Dirty

We all know how my heart is pitter-pattering over the release of Twilight on Friday. I'm not lying when I say how excited I am to be bedazzling a shirt, though I am sad to be crafting on my own (dammit, BFF, why must you live so far away!!). I will also admit to a mildly embarrassing attraction to 22 year old lead Robert Pattinson, who's broodishly stoned looks first introduced the Hannah Montana set to testosterone as Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

I really need to stop reading interviews.

The Daily News reports:

"But it's Hugh Grant, not Dean, he most frequently calls to mind. So much about the two upper-class Brits is the same: wide-set eyes, schoolboy baffledness, a bumble-and-mumble manner - even an equally floppy thatch of hair, which Pattinson said he hasn't washed for six weeks."

Six weeks. Six weeks??? Something tells me it isn't hair gel creating that "just rolled out of bed" look in the picture above. It also draws more attention to the flop sweat going on in this picture. Tiger Beat is NOT amused.

Weekend Update

I've actually been busy at work today. WTF?? I had a solid four hours in which I did something. ok... that's a lie. Two and a half of those hours were spent looking for the entrance to my building, since the parking lot of my job looks like a demilitarized zone from Afghanistan. I'm going to start bringing my own hard-hat.

So little time to blog, so much to cover.

A new mascot for the collection... Brutus Buckeye (thanks JAX)... It's a seed! Nut? What is a buckeye, anyway? Same with an acorn... are they nuts? Seeds?

not to be confused with Brutus Beefcake:

Stupid tattoos (Tetris, Monty Python AND Stephen Hawking? This guy's never getting laid):


Twilight Countdown: 39 Days (is it me or does this dude have some crazy lettuce? yeah... still hot though.):

And a Netflix Round-up:
Mirrormask, Infamous, Disc 1 of Wonderfalls.

Mirrormask, a product of the Jim Henson studio and Neil Gaiman, was by far the most intriguing, so that's where I'm gonna get my movie review ya-ya's this week.

Helena (who looks eerily like a child Helena Bonham Carter) is a creative teen born to the circus (circus!!) and dreams of running away to an average life.

After her mother lands in the hospital, Helena stays with her non-circus life grandmother, and fills her room with pen-and-ink sketches of a world built in her own imagination. During a dream, Helena falls into this world of her own making.

A sepia-toned CGI dreamscape, Mirrormask is a "down the rabbit-hole" story along the lines of Alice in Wonderland, The Wizard of Oz, The Phantom Tollbooth, Labyrinth, The Never-Ending Story... oh, the list goes on. Unlike these stories, Mirrormask does not focus on Helena growing up. Rather, Helena's journey finds her fighting to stay true to her alternative, creative self. Mirrormask celebrates the desire to keep a childish imagination and enthusiasm.

Mirrormask explores duality: light and shadow, truth and lies, masks and reality. Sadly, it does this without the fast dialogue and wit that I have rather come to expect from Gaiman, NOR does it have an awesome soundtrack David Bowie Labyrinth style. It does have a pretty killer version of The Carpenter's Close to You. That was worthwhile.
