Almost Perfect

Have you ever been in the grocery store and stopped cold, wondering if what you just saw was about to change your life forever? Exclude any people you may have been attracted to, and answer again. This was my situation tonight. In the last few weeks I have become a convert to Greek yogurt. It tastes more complex, is better for you, and is kind of new and exciting. Then imagine you combine the phenomenal fig with Green yogurt and you've got something amazing going on.

Well, the yogurt didn't blow my mind, but it was pretty good, and it's a good effort. I vote for putting fig in everything.

Damn You Stars!!!

I've got a beautiful TV, and only two channels worth watching. I'm forgoing cable for streaming Netflix and rabbit ears. I watch some Hulu as well. Well, tonight I was cruising back to the pad thinking I was going to tune into some ABC for some How I Met Your Mother when, much to my surprise, on comes Dancing with the Stars. Regardless of how I feel about watching past seasons, when I see that my one true love and former winner is the new cohost, I admitted to myself that I would not change the channel, and might even keep watching.

Brooke Burke, you slay me. The show, at least in the beginning, is full of beautiful people, but you reign supreme. I've missed you since the days of Wild on E. I didn't watch you dance a couple of years ago, so I must pay homage to you be watching you host.

Friday Morning Television

Before you pass judgement, let me explain that the TV is background while I spend time on the phone with banks and HR departments which have become the thorns in my side.

First show - Let's Make a Deal. Remember when Wayne Brady was kind of cool? Who's Line is it Anyway was a good vehicle for him. Pretty good show. The spot with Richard Simmons was the stuff of television legend. Later Brady's spot on The Chappelle Show was sweet.

See more funny videos and funny pictures at CollegeHumor.

This morning Brady looks a little beaten down. It's a list drop to be sure. Can you really ever make it back from being this show's host? It's not like life is bad or anything. Paying gig, not breaking your back. You wonder if he's really loving it. Is this where he'll spend his last years in show business?

Next up is The Price is Right, with Drew Carey, also from Who's Line. Drew took an intermediate step, as he was the host of Who's Line, but he's in the same boat, but without appearing so tired. Bob Barker owned that show, love him or hate him (I hear he's a dick). Big shoes to fill.

I don't really feel sorry for them. They have easy gigs that pay them probably way too much. They don't have to do any patient charting or anything like that.

Hey, I forgot why I started writing today in the first place! At the beginning of The Price is Right a guy won a car. The little chubby guy goes running towards the car, and by it, the beautiful woman showing it off (what do you call them? They look like FemBots from Austin Powers). As he approaches she leans forward with her hands up at arms length, but slightly above shoulder level. She is obviously encouraging a high-five while creating the maximum separation between them, but it's funny how if her hands were about six inches lower, as it would have been if off camera, that she would be giving him the stop sign.

Enough of this crap, the phone calls are finished.
