Get the star, Rockies, the star! Oh, wait



So the Sox win in this, but are they really Bowser?

Are they really sitting back in their lair growing bigger and spikier just waiting for the next mortal to come by and be stomped?

Actually, that doesn't sound too bad.

beauty pageants are funny

this isn't as bad as ms. south carolina's flop on the national stage, but it's still pretty bad.

New Music for You

Last week I went to 2 concerts at this bar Toads Place in New Haven

Since it is practically on the Yale campus they have this great history of concerts...Rolling Stones, U2, Bob Dylan etc
Unfortunately they havent been up to that caliber, but after being closed for a few months and just recently reopening, hopefully they will get back on track

Anyway, both concerts were really really great

Kings of Leon
was on Monday and while it was a last minute decision to go to this one, it ended up being Sam Adams
we even met the band at a bar we stopped in before the show

JJ Grey & Mofro
was on Friday and I seriously suggest everyone listen to all the songs on their site and you west coasters look into their show in hollywood the start of november
so very very good

So this is strange...

I didn't know this before today, and figured I would share.

I read this article about Nestle Waters (which sells brands including Perrier, Poland Spring and Deer Creek) building a new water bottling plant in Indiana. I didn't really care until I read that the plant is just going to hook up the municipal water supply and bottle the tap water that comes out. And they're not even going to run it through a Brita first.

Turns out a bunch of the other water-bottlers do this too. Apparently this is old news, because I found a bunch of articles from July on CNN.com. Anyway, It threw me because these companies seem to be so blatantly misleading with their ads.

Here's one of the articles from this summer, about Pepsi's Aquafina brand.



Anyway, not sure if everyone knew this already. But I think it's gross - first that if we buy Perrier it could just be Indiana tap water, and second, that I've spent probably $100 on the stuff over the past year while turning my nose up at my own tap water.

As a husband, I am extremely offended

Ever since the wedding, these fucking people at www.thenest.com won't leave my Inbox alone. Usually I just "Mark as Read" and ignore any messages from them (That's right Tina, I leave them in my inbox, unfiled, even though they are junk) - but this one is too ridiculous to ignore.

It's an ad for this game: http://www.thenest.com/games/marriageinvaders/

Check out the 'Man Crimes' to be 'eliminated':
Hand-in-pants while watching sports (called 'Useless')
Beer
Meat
Porn
Football

WTF?

Granted, the 'Wife Crimes' are equally offensive. But, honestly, Meat, Football, Hand in Pants and Beer? This game should just be called Succubus Training or Neuter Your Husband and Marry a Pier1 Salesman.
