Happy BirthJay!

Sometimes The Conspiracy Theorists Are Right

Best Coast

"I Wish He Was My Boyfriend" -- Jay's theme song, perhaps?

Again with the birthdays!

Lurker turns 65! Or at least that's what the card says! Happy Birthday!

The Hangover

Saw it last night. It's really funny. I didn't think you could really do the Vegas bachelor party movie again, but this one pulls if off brilliantly. The actors are all excellent, and the way the story unfolds really keeps you involved. It's sort of a drunken 'Memento.' Excellent excellent excellent!

OMG!

Let's see how long the sobriety thing lasts now...

Mandy Moore is engaged to rocker Ryan Adams, her rep confirms to Usmagazine.com. Moore was spotted wearing a ring while grocery shopping with Adams in L.A. today.

See stars' hot engagement rings!

I guess that explains this.

Shocked, But Not Surprised

You know, it's just amazing what you can find on the internets these days.

College World Series

The college baseball regionals start this weekend, with LSU riding a 20-game winning streak, and dark horse Tulane battling Free Shoes U at the Tallahassee regional. Notwithstanding the aurally-offensive and apparently dangerous metal bats, a few of the things I really like about college baseball are:

The complete lack of middle relief pitching, which means an 8-run inning is always on the cards, and no game is over until its over.

Pitchers who are the team's best hitter so play a regular position between starts.

Beer.

Arizona's State players all wearing knee-high socks.

Restaurants in Omaha that learned how to make passable red beans and rice and jambalaya because LSU is in the college world series so often.

And last but not least, the rebuilt post-Katrina ballpark at Tulane, complete with draft Abita and not a bad view in the house (pictured above, as seen on my flying visit last Friday to catch part of the CUSA championship and satisfy my crawdaddy cravings).
