Making me happy since Thursday, January 24! Pop-Rock Candy Mountain: I love you more than yo mama!
- Cloverfield conspiracies: Ah Cloverfield. Now I must see you again to see all that I allegedly missed.
- The new Star Trek website is up: Yes, I embrace the fact that I’m a geek, nerd and possible loser. Click the red dot for more J.J. Abrams-inspired viral madness.
- The Anchorwomen (and female reporters) of WTVA. Remember when whats-her-name was the evening anchor and she would lull you to sleep every night? Well, Whats-Her-Name is long gone. Say hello to Julee, Rachel, Anna, Danielle, Kelli , Beverly and Susan. They are the best thing to happen to WTVA since the fight between John Dolusic and Jonathan Burleson heard over the internet during the Caledonia tornado. “It’s just a job.” Thanks, Dolusic.
- Attorney General Jim Hood is becoming increasingly unpopular in the state’s media.
- Deal Or No Deal: The Kentucky ‘Tater Queen didn’t quite win a million, but she won my heart. And her mom was like a country Sally Struthers.
- The New X-Files Movie: Oh yes, there will be werewolves.
- Choke: My favorite Chuck Palahniuk book is now a movie staring Sam Rockwell.
- Seared Ahi Tuna at Outback: Get the appetizer, but skip the chopped salad.
- Moroccan Fig Votivo Candles: It’s almost better than the Red Currant….close, but not quite.

Our Mission statement is simple: “…I agreed that what really matters is what you like, not what you are like… Books, records, films — these things matter. Call me shallow but it’s the f*@kin’ truth.” Rob from High Fidelity

1. First, I have to say, Bluebell Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream. I try keep it down to one heaping bowl full a week since it's full of saturated fats and I'm a 43 year old trying to keep up the image of a front man. BUT, sometimes I'm weak and I backslide.
2. My Six Million Dollar Man Pinball machine. I finally got it fixed and have been playing it a lot. My 4 year old is learning how to play it so we get to play it together.
3. Saturday mornings, I get up and watch Kay Bain. I've been a loyal WTVA viewer for many years but I get a little upset because they've cut Kay down to just being on once a week. I love Kay Bain. You know, my coffee just tastes better with Kay Bain.
4. I've recently thrown out my old socks. I went to Wal-mart and bought a 12-pack of brand new white socks. I got them all for about eight bucks so I've been really happy about that.
5. My 14 year old daughter, Kit has become a facination. I've always been all about my daughter but now she's coming out with this Aretha Franklin style, powerful voice and I've just been amazed. I love listening to her sing.The Greatest Albums Of All Time (Some of the…)

Back in the day when I attended the infamous Itawamba Kinder College, Kathy Nash used to take a class (me thinks it was Econ 101). We used to call her “Nasty Gash”.

Seems like I went to her apartment with some friends one time and it was weird…like weird, high musicians and stuff. I don’t know…..for whatever reason, I blocked it out. I think that dude Bric was there…I wasn’t intoxicated, but I don’t remember much..Bad folk singing will do that to a person. Thanks for calling in Johnny. Pop-Rock Candy Mountain loves you more than yo mama.

Thanks for the compliment! And, again, you’re right about those red currant candles!

I’m so glad someone else appreciates the seared tuna at outback. My dad and I got that and we both wanted to rub it all over ourselves and called it ours.
