New Favorite Show

A couple people mentioned they really liked "Gene Simmons: Family Jewels" in the past couple weeks and I found 4 episodes back to back on A&E last night so I thought we'd give them a try. And wouldn't you know it, the show was hilarious! It's my new favorite and I'll be setting up the tivo to record as many as I can. If you haven't seen it, give it one episode, it's only a half hour, and you'll be hooked.

Rock of Love is very close to being cut from my rotation. There's one woman on there that I like (Jes) and in no way would I want her to be in a relationship with Brett Michaels. For one thing, she's not a party-girl type and for another she's young enough to be his daughter and it makes me ill to think about it. The rest of the women are just bitches who cuss like sailors (or strippers of course). I think Brett should end up with one of the strippers since that fits his personality better and he'll just cheat on her anyway.


I watched Ghost Rider Saturday night (instead of suffering through a Packer pre-season game). It was ok, kind of interesting and pretty good special effects but one thing bugged me that I couldn't get out of my head. In the movie, Nicholas Cage is a stunt bike rider and he attempts to jump a football field from goal post to goal post (ramps on the outside of the posts). After he does it everyone keeps saying "300 feet, a new record!" Well, according to my memory the goal posts haven't been on the goal line in some 25 or so years. They're at the back which adds 20 yards to the jump. It was 360 feet you idiots. For some reason that kept bugging me.



I finished the last Harry Potter book yesterday. Best book of the series, by far. Great story and the finish kept you on the edge of your seat. Loved it.



In the world of golf (no, not the PGA with Tiger winning again) we played a free round at the Oaks. After complaining about how crappy our round was last time (5.5 hours with no beer cart service) the head pro gave us a chance to do it again. This time the course was dead (sunny Sunday morning at 9am and it's dead?) and we played in 3:45. Much better. I played up and down, hitting some good shots and some terrible ones. Shot a 90 (45/45). Not sure if I'm ready for this weekend's club championship at Door Creek or not. My goal is 160 for the 36 holes. I would pretty much have to shoot my best round 2 days in a row. Not likely to happen.
