Lame... Take a look

Conan on SF Olympic Protests

Saw this on Hulu. It may have been a while ago but damn if it isn't funny. YOU MUST HOLD OUT TILL THE END!

Old Friend's Make it Interesting

Hannah Bretz, you remember her? Elf-like crazy redhead with the voice of a banshee? Yeah, that's her. Well I'm chatting with her about life and whats going on, well low and behold, she can no longer eat foods with Gluten in them. Not only that, but she has a site entirely dedicated to it. Gluten-Free Garden .  You at first I thought that was cool, but it didn't effect me so I didn't give a full once over. Well Take a look. She is really doing it. All sorts of pictures, good info. A TON of links. I would say more but I don't to tell you. I want YOU to go there .

Addendum to Same Sex Blitzkrieg

If you want to see the good stuff (the protesters outside) I shot from last night, than click away . And just so I don't waste your time here are a couple of my favorite quotes from last night. "There isn't a giant bearded man in the sky who tells us what to do with our anuses!" "What did they call it when religion ruled the world? The Dark Ages!" "Down with the lobster eaters! Free the shrimp!" There were more but this had me laughing, and let's face it, people only care these days if they get a good chuckle.

Same-Sex Blitzkrieg

Monday and Tuesday I'm doing the live roving webcam deal. This time its the Same Sex Marriage coverage. Last night I covered the reception of the first same sex couple in SF to get legally married. Del Martin and Phyllis Lyons, who have been together over 55 years, were married by the Mayor of SF, Gavin Newsom. The place was crazy. A few hundred people, a big cake, a lot of press. It was fun. It's kind of nice to be at this historic events, even if it is only coverage for work. The only funny thing about yesterday was when the crowd started clearing out, after the Mayor and the couple left the reception, the press people (camera, sound, lighting guys) all swooped in and got a piece of cake. Sadly, I was a floor above the action so I didn't a piece. What happens today? A boat load of marriages on the spot at city hall. check out cbs5.com and I'll be the live webcam covering the event. Have a tasty Tuesday.

Uh! Muh Hair!

It's so hard to quote a weird little phrase such as George Clooney's hair comments from Oh Brother? Where Art Thou? But you know, it was worth the effort. Now Check out my haircut from a generation past. To set the stage, I needed a haircut and there isn't a great clips or national chain thing around so I hit up a local joint. This barber shop was straight from the 70s; wood panels, weird mammoth chairs, and newspapers clippings from a bygone era.  Now the cut I received was from the owner who was in his 70s. A nice guy but he kind of just did his own thing without asking any questions. What was his thing? Using an electric trimmer with no length guards, shaving the edges around my ears and neck with a STRAIGHT RAZOR & SHAVING CREAM! and capping it off with pomade and and one hell of a tight comb job. Now the way he combed my hair is something similar to my Grandpa Boberg's hairstlying.  I loved the experience... not so sure about the cut. Now maybe they aren't ...

The Garbage That Was Game 3

The Celtics should have won this game. The Lakers took the fourth but it wasn't anything Kobe, Sasha, or Phil did. Here are my initial reactions: Paul Pierce was snake bit when he was hit with his first two fouls. He just couldn't get over the foul worries. KG cannot sell a blind man on his jab step. I wouldn't be surprised if Phil tells his bigs to not worry about KG and the paint because he just wont drive there. He will swing to the left or right but he just refuses to crash the board. DOC RIVERS CANNOT HANDLE 4TH QUARTER ROTATIONS. Paul Pierce played the majority of the 4th with five fouls and worried he was gonna kicked off the floor. Put in Powe, play Perk/KG/PJ. Just sit Paul for five or six minutes to cool him down. The Lakers offense has completely turned into trash. Much will be said about the Sasha 3 with under two minutes to go; but their movement was off and they were basically held down. For all the talk about shoddy ref work, The Lakers did not take advantage...

...but everyone's a teenager. I don't know how many people watch the news at night. I gave it up for a long time (high school, college), but if you were to turn it on tonight chances are you would see the same stories as the night before, and possibly the same as a month before. I'm talking about gas prices and the Mortgage/Housing market. Now, if you DO watch, than thank you because you eyes, on our ads, pay my bills, but you know how inundating these stories can be. Maybe you're buying the B.S. the economy is getting better and the housing market is healing. Well I would have been in that place as well if it wasn't for my family. See my dad and brother work for Countrywide (one of the companies widely viewed as the villian in the subprime debacle) and back in October when the piss hit the breeze and foreclosures were the buzz word of the moment my brother mentioned that the real disaster was gonna be about a year or two out. And guess what? That's finally get...

Pork And Beans

Weezer still knows how to rock, they just hate lyrics and want to see them die. A buddy of mine downloaded the Red album recently and we gave it a listen. I love the instrumentation on the album (espcially the single "Pork and Beans"); however, River still will not rescind his rule keep all the lyrics surface level smooth and bubble gum sweet. Without the album in front of me I couldn't give you specific examples, but trust me, the lyrics completely ruin the album. You know when you hear a good beat on a hip hop tune and you get into it, even if the rhymes are subpar? Well you don't get the opportunity to do that with Red Album because Rivers has the audacity to sing garbage. Does any remember this big victory lap parade that was the 2001 Weezer Yahoo OutLoud Tour? It was amazing. Right before the Green Album came out the Weezer boys went out and played a slew of shows (one in K.C. that I had the opportunity to see) and played all the Blue Album songs and a few Pinker...

Spike Lee Should Shut His Face

Clint Eastwood is the greatest single person to ever step foot in hollywood. There is no ifs, ands, or buts. Why? Because He has makes balls out, great movies, when he acts he plays each part note for note, and he will tell you to shut your face in no uncertain terms. Few people are as revered as Eastwood. Nicholson for sure, Newman maybe (but he's hasn't been as involved in the biz as Clint), Pacino but he has fallen down hardcore on the quality, Deniro but he isn't directing or stirring up the political bee hive, and I guess Hanks, but he is too young and has rolled out some stinkers in the last few years.  When one of those guys kicks the bucket man will it be a sad day in Hollywood.  I mean Marlon Brando must have been sad for Hollywood but he has pretty much been an afterthought in the movie world for decades. When Eastwood goes down, I think people should attempt to save his DNA so we can clone him and have him making flicks far into the future. Just in idea... Okay,...

The Deal With Iowa

The votes in and its 6-5 for Iowa still being cool. Not literally cool, its humid and bakes your face off in 80 degree weather; however, going to back to Iowa to see my peeps was totally awesome. Sorry if I didn't see you but I was kind of busy. My Friday was action packed. Picked out wedding tuxes (I'm wearing a black shirt, hell yeah), shot hoops with J bones, went to an I Cubs game, stayed out freaking late with the 8th Grade Lunch Crew (Porter, Wagner, Elliot). Saturday was Sarah's wedding in humbolt, and Sunday was a wedding shower for Marieta in Jefferson. I had a great time at almost every turn. I've got videos, pictures, and a can full of magic beans. I'll share them all, minus the beans, soon enough. Why not now? Well I have to go earn a paycheck. Today is election day for proposals and primaries across the nation. What does that mean? I will be out with the Sling Cam for cbs5.com broadcasting the goods for all peeps who care to see how Spam Franswissco get...
