    Almost Forgot

    This comes from the Lost Episodes (ugh, mixed feelings about this), but this is just so amazing and clearly Chappelle at his best:

    MSN Space security Nazi's Don't Like YouTube? Chappelle Gives Pac Love.

    The Vijay Singh of Putt-putt

    Materials to design a putting green for your home: $65
    Twenty square yards of astroturf: $215
    Plastic flags: $45
    An expensive nike-branded putter: $115

    Four consecutive putting contest titles and rubbing it in the losers' faces: Priceless.

    All seriousness aside, i got completely owned today by the USC Transporation people. wing. agency? division. Division. Surprise, surprise, if you register a vehicle in mid-July to attempt to obtain some form of parking close to your housing for next year, don't expect a DAMN thing! Everything will be sold out and the webpage text provided will be condescending and actually laugh at you. No joke. I got boned.  I got boned big time.

    My MSN Space?

    Wow. Yet another reason to blog with yet another personal web-page. My MSN Space is two terms too familiar with yet another place that has a blog, and many of the same features, with more sexual predators, models, pedophiles, pre-pubescent girls and bands wanting to be your friend.

    But I like this place, this space. It gives me things i can't do on myspace, like the ability to create really neat lists! I can see how the creative team meeting went, and the genesis of such a feature:

    Team member 1: All right, what's cool, what's "hip" these days? What do kids want?
    Team member 2: Well our information here says the age bracket of 18-30 somethings love to create lists, imposing order and structure to their lives by randomly compiling information. By taking items like mountain biking, ipod, porno, Dane Cook, Sufjan Stevens into a list, they become immediately pertinent and hip. Young people love lists, it's just that simple.
    Team member 1: ...you, my friend, are a genius. Get on it now.

    All sarcasm aside, the eventual integration of all things Microsoft is something to marvel at, through Windows Live/Live Anywhere/Xbox Live. Am i one of the only ones looking forward to Windows Vista? There's certainly a lot of Live and a lot to love. Anyway, this is my blog, this is the christening, the veritable "champagne-shatter-to-the-bow" of the internetical ship, and I just got shards of metaphorical glass buried into my face and arms.
