News and notes:

you can now be buried showing how much you support your team.

hey it's new pope time! i think the daily show had some good coverage showing how all the different news channels couldn't figure out if the smoke was white or not. of course, fox news declared "WE HAVE A NEW POPE". good old non partisan journalism. i happened to be listening to the al franken show while they were naming the new pope. al had a "correspondent" at the vatican to cover the event, it was some catholic priest from the states. when they announced the name he, sighed. he was really disappointed in who the next pope was. he then cracked a few jokes at the church's expense. i have to say i kind of feel the same way about the new pope, i'm dissapointed. it would have been nice to see the black guy from africa or south america get it, or even one of the more progressive popes win. Instead they picked an even more hardline guy who used to be a Hitler youth. and come on, just look at him, if he hasn't abused he share of alter boys then who has? I can’t say this is a step back for the church, but it certainly isn’t a step forward either.

I’ve seen a lot of movies lately, saw Amityville horror last night. It wasn’t bad. Much better then I expected. I can’t say it was scary as much as it was jumpy. Who ever made it was very good at keeping you guessing at when the jumpy part was going to happen and cueing the music to jump too. There were many points at which I was expecting something to happen and it didn’t. I can say that the ending was a bit of a cop out but it didn’t feel that why while I was watching it. I also saw sin city not too long ago. Awesome, if you haven’t seen it yet, go do. I watched sideways for the second time today, another very good movie. I also saw dawn of the dead for the first time a few days ago. If you liked 28 days later, you’ll like it, it was done in much the same way. It was just good old zombie fun too. I’m also playing resident Evil 4 at the moment so I’m seeing a lot of zombie stuff. RE4 is fucking incredible too, best graphics yet on gamecube but its also a sweet game. If you play it, don’t take your fingers off the buttons during ANY cut scene. You usually have to press buttons during the short movie to dodge, run, swim or do some other simple command. It’s really cool.

Dennis miller was on the daily show tonight. He’s a good guest but he totally hijacked the show with his own monolog. And he’s a dirty republican. Tom delay won’t be ousted until his next election cycle because if he goes down, bush goes down, and that isn’t going to happen. Bobby flay is the worst iron chef ever. It’s still the first month of the baseball season, there is no reason to get worried about any team out there, but there are plenty of reasons to be happy for every team this time of year. The Shield is in the middle of another sweet season. I spent the day with my sister yesterday, and one of her hot friends. It was free cone day at ben & jerry’s, the line was amazing. Josh, apparently your parents are coming up this weekend, I’m also planning on being in CT for the weekend. They always seem to pick the times when I’m not here. Today was 4-20, and I couldn’t smoke, ugh.. UVM really cracked down this year. There was an article in the paper today saying how they weren’t going to let people from other schools be involved, apparently they forgot to mention they weren’t going to let UVM students be involved either. The president got a bunch of cops to clear out the green and stop any sort of group of people from ever forming. God damn Nazi’s.

yeah i also saw the daily show and all the pope stuff. i just never cared. i dont care what kind of pope they have. just like a rich fat white guy is the symbol of the republican party, so is an old decrepit white guy who swears he's good but really gives little boys the reach around the symbol of the catholic church. we should be reminded that 6 = 1/2 dozen.

i also saw dennis miller and i was very disappointed. what he said would've been ok if this was the dennis miller stand up comedy hour, but he didn't let stewart get a word in. and it was so scripted. i mean i know it always is to an extent, but this was ridiculous. it made it physically painful. probably the worst interview i've ever seen on the daily show.
