Are they changing formats? I can't figure out what they mean by "The new sound of 94.7." Last time I heard something like that was in Houston when my favorite pop station turned country. EEK.
Check out their "Rules of Austin." Too funny.
I would add to #11 that the town of Manchaca (MAN-chack) and Manchaca (MAN-chack) Road are host to Menchaca (men-CHA-ka) Elementary School.
And elsewhere on their website... Hanson is playing La Zona Rosa? Wow.
I've DVRed everything this week so far, because we've been so incredibly busy in the evenings. The 94.7 DJs said they were disappointed with "Private Practice." The common complaint I hear about it is that Addison's character has changed, becoming very "cutesy." Hmm. Maybe I'll just delete that one.
I love "House." I'll watch that first, ASAP. New team this year. I liked the old team, but I'm along for the ride.
I guess the new series I'm most looking forward to is "Big Shots." That starts tonight. As do "The Office" (YAY!) and "Grey's Anatomy."
I am also looking forward to "Pushing Daisies." That starts next week.
The Band played at the football game tonight. Always a good time!
Observation: The most popular tackling method of eighth graders is to grab you by the back of your jersey and swing you around like a discus, then toss you directly to the ground.
I just ordered an iPod Touch for the kiddo (her first large purchase with her own money) at the Apple Store online. I changed my mind about the shipping, and immediately called to upgrade to 2-3 days. The guy actually told me that all the iPod Touches are already on a palette to ship the 28th, and the shipping method cannot be changed.
Please. What does that even mean? I'm thinking it means they are all shipping the same way, whether or not you pay the $10 for expedited shipping.
I've been sick. Blah.
I am very up-to-date on entertainment news, however. Funny how three days in bed will catch you up!
Oscar de la Hoya... yeesh, man. Just say you got drunk on tequila and had some fun taking goofy pictures. It's embarrassing, but it would have blown over so quick. Now we have to laugh at his people denying the pics are real and also deal with the stripper and her 15 minutes of fame. What a mess over nothing. I do have to giggle when I see the pics though. Hee hee.
George Clooney. I'll try to be unbiased when I say this. (Ha.) Sarah Larson is 28. George is 46. He looks old with her. The all-hallowed half-plus-seven rule says he should date 30-year-olds, minimum. Let's not mention... a Go-Go dancer from Vegas? Oy. That being said, she's very cute and seems to be able to carry herself like a lady when she's in the spotlight. It's good they weren't hurt too seriously in the motorcycle accident. And like Entertainment Tonight said, it's good that Georgie didn't hurt his face.
Britney. No comment.
Chris Crocker. Psycho. Don't encourage him, people. Really.
Dancing with the Stars. Dude. Sabrina Bryan was AWESOME. I thought I would go for Marie Osmond, but Sabrina has my imaginary vote. And the bonus this season is we get Cameron Mathison on the dance floor AND Peter Facinelli in the audience. Eye candy galore.
In real news... I watched the President's speech at the UN in its entirety. Loved when Cuba walked out. So dramatic. I liked the speech. That's a first!
CJ just forwarded this "invitation to a Pampered Chef party" to me. The email is full of photos of hot naked guys in the kitchen, with a bowl, little apron, and various things covering their boy parts. Each guy had a recipe, too.
I've been to Pampered Chef parties. They're nothing like that.
:D
The AC finally went out! We've been waiting. lol.
It did the same thing the fridge did- completely froze up. The repair guy was here yesterday and had left us instructions to leave the fan running for 24 hours to melt the ice in the unit. Once the ice melted, the thing started cooling the house. Even though the AC was off, the compressor kept running and running (there's a Stephen King novel in there somewhere), and we finally had to turn off the whole system at the unit itself when it got down to 70 degrees inside. BRR!
Now we await the repair man again.
Just a local note: We were led to believe that Pedernales doesn't offer rebates on new ACs, like City of Austin does. Not true! And the repair guy tells us their rebate is actually much easier to get than jumping through the city's hoops.
Rick Springfield's song "Jessie's Girl" was originally written as "Gary's Girl."
Can you imagine?
Today is the 25th anniversary of the smiley face emoticon!
:)
In other news... I'm a little disappointed that Whoopi Goldberg sees the OJ Simpson arrest not only as racist (um, wha?), but akin to the Jena, Louisiana high school incidents. Let's not get all crazy and lump this hot-headed numb-nuts with the reprehensible bigotry going on in that town. How random.
On the OJ note, Kato Kaelin was interviewed on MSNBC. I just have to shake my head on that one.
I should have gone to ACL Fest. The weather was much cooler than when we went.
DD is sick today and I keep forgetting she's sleeping on the couch. I'm always surprised to see her there when I walk by. Weird!
