Oh Wooooow! What a coincidence! Ya know this is great. Have you lost weight?

Music YOU should be listening to: "Ghettochip Malfunction" by Beck
This song is indeed pioneering a completely new style of musik that will shock many. This is definitely not uncommon of Beck to change his style of musik drastically. As we saw on Sea Change Beck really wanted to show his emotional side. One that isn't full of Saturday night at the gay bar (that was indeed an entertaining one). This is available at the iTunes music store and is on an EP. If you're planning on holding out for the album it will be coming out soon enough (No date specified, but should be spring sometime). Rumour has it that he is working with Jack White on a number of the tracks. I really think that should be interesting.

Well an eventful weekend indeed. Jose Offerman, cue balls, the whole shabang. I must say that the premier Robot Chicken on Adult swim is putting a nice ending on it. Really quite amusing. Seth Green is one of the producers of the show. I gotta say he has got a definite knack for animated adult comedies. This Robot Chicken show is full of great new ideas. Ones that stray away from your typical slap stick comedy. Seth Green really has come a long way since the days of being the young "Scott" on in Austin Powers 1. He was just a teen in that movie. But he has been in a number of films in my collection surprisingly. He has quite the versatile spectrum of voices and characters in movies. I own Rat Race in which he was quite humourous with his brother (I also feel it was a very underrated film.) And I also own Italian Job which was a great movie for the reason of the MINIs. But also Seth Green put a tasteful light hearted touch on the movie. Anyway, Robot Chicken is indeed an impressive original form of a cartoon comedy. I highly recommend Adult swim is indeed a mainstay channel on the TV around here. It just keeps getting better. Feel free to write in here and display your favourite Adult Swim show and a favourite episode. (ie Aqua Teen, Tom Goes to the Mayor, Mission Hill, Futurama, Home Movies, Family Guy, etc.) By the way. I don't know if anyone watched tonight's episode of Family Guy where Peter can play the piano well (or if you remember it from seeing it a while ago). Well anyway, Stewie asks Peter to play the end theme song for the movie "The Incredible Hulk". Well I found this quite humourous and had to have the song myself. So I searched around and found it myself. If anyone would like a copy of the song I would be more than willing to send it to you upon request. Or if you would rather get it yourself from the website you can find this one along with many other humourous songs in Mp3 format from Family Guy at http://www.fgmma.com/?p=media&cat=song&order=rating&tri=ASC&base=21&num=10&episode= (I highly recommend the Randy Newman one.)

Well as my brother reminded me tonight, our cherished Czech last name has an interesting meaning that many do not know. In Czech Povolny means "tractability, pliability, obedience". But from a first hand culture perpective my brother met a Czech girl outside a bar this weekend and she described "povolny" as "Someone who is willing to do anything". Well I guess what I can infer from this situation is that people in Czechoslovakia have at some point used the word "povolny" to describe a slut. Dangit.

On to other things. To all you fellow bloggers out there, make sure of this when you are writing a blog: do not leave the page you are in progress of writing. If you leave the page and try to come back to your writing, all of it will be gone. Earlier tonite I learned this the hard way. Tonite I had begun composing my predicions and team by team and division by division outlooks for the 2005 Major League Baseball season. I am quite anxious for the season and need to put it out on some kind of journal. Well anyhow I had almost completed the NL West outlook team by team and I wanted another stat for my reasoning about the Dodgers. Instead of opening a new browser window to get the stat I was lazy and used the window I was writing my blog with. I hit the "back" button and everything was gone from the blog. Well, there's 41 days until the season starts. I think that should be plentiful time to get this done by the start.

Have a wonderful Monday all.

There is an option to save the draft.

I do realize that you can save, but the page I needed to look at was only gonna take a second so I didn't really think about it saving. But I think for next time I'll just type long posts up on Word and then paste them in. Although saving it to Blogger works too.

I like your blog, it entertains me. Alot of times I think it's funny, and I laugh.

I think that Robot Chicken was a fine premiere last night and look forward to the future episodes. I also am quite the fan of the Adult Swim lineup, but as far as picking a favourite, it's kind of like me with Michael Bolton's music--I kind of like them all ;)

I'm glad that my blog entertains you. And it seems as though it entertains Mike Barilla as well. And I would have to agree that the Adult Swim lineup is indeed tough to pick favourites from, much like Michael's Bolton's music. They're all likeable. A good point.

Yeah, Word is indeed far superior to the spell checker on this piece.
