Carrie

I never watched any season of American Idol, never was much of a fan of country music, and it hurts me to see a car getting keyed and smashed up in a video. But against all odds, I'm finding myself becoming a big fan of this Carrie Underwood woman:



I don't think she even won that season of A.I. that she was in. I only knew of her because I used her name to rip on Cubs pitcher Kerry (under)-Wood. That, and supposedly she was dating Cowboys QB Tony Romo last year. Either way, hopefully her next single/video will be good also.

In other news, I got my first IPod recently. Actually, it's a used IPod, a really old generation from like 3 years ago, with the battery almost dead, which I originally gave my sister for Christmas or her bday or something. Now that she has a Nano and 2 Shuffles, I get the leftovers. She used to be the one to inherit my old stuff, but I guess now I get the hand-me-downs. But that's ok, I'm not complaining. Having my own IPod does make me appreciate the ITunes software a lot more, with how you can organize playlists and then sync up and everything.

I also took the plunge into HDTV (finally). Maybe I will write more on the subject later, if I'm not too busy watching all the random stuff I've been recording on my DVR.

Got sunburned pretty bad last week. The worst thing about sunburns is that it happens so innocently, and then the effects don't kick in right away. You gotta go through each stage slowly - the redness, the itching, the blistering, the peeling. I'd seriously rather just get branded by an iron or something, straight up. At least then you'd know exactly when and how you're getting burned, and you don't have to wait in anticipation for your skin to self destruct. I think I talked about this before in this blog, but anticipating something bad is just as bad (and sometimes even worse) than the bad thing itself.

When I have kids someday, hopefully I'll have a daughter that's as cute as this girl (except she'll probably be more Asian):

Youtubes

Had another busy week, but thought I would share some videos that entertained me:

- Some guy on the French American Idol (Nouvelle Star) with his reeeeeeeemix of Baby One More Time:



- A lovely Rasheed Wallace's sweaty jersey in the face, just for me (my favorite part is how the guy's clipboard goes flying):



- Chinese guys like to be kicked in the balls:



- Why don't our local news teams have investigative reports like this? Ron Magers and Linda Yu suck.



- Silly Canadian lady trying to sing the National Anthem:
