Anyone notice that just a few hours ago, Tony was a drunk, cradle-robbing, ex-con traitor to the nation. Now he's back to killing terrorists, working in CTU, and did you see the previews for next week? They're putting him in charge? At least give him a breathalizer test people.
In related news, Rocco maybe you can answer this to me. Doesn't CTU theoretically come under the Justice Dept and not DOD? Why is Hellar in charge? There should be a really ticked off Attorney General somewhere.

My attempt to liveblog the Oscars (and do laundry)
8:29: I've seen two of the five best pic nominees this year which is about one more than usual. I'm rooting for Million Dollar Baby, but who knows. As Dr Thiel says "They are bought and paid for boys and girls, bought and paid for."
8:40: "Say your working at the GAP, and you close out your register and your $70 trillion short. You'd get in trouble. Not Bush."
8:43: Halle Berry: Hotttttttt.
8:50: Some jerks butted in front of me to get a dryer only to lose their money in it because it is broken! HA!
8:57: Incredibles gets a statue. Not that there was any competition.
9:20: Second attempt to get laundry into dryer.
9:35: Jesse: the lead singer of the Counting Crowes looks like Sideshow Bob. Me: Is that James Carville playing bass?
9:56: That whole wonderful montage to Sydney Lumet and all I can say is: Vin Diesal with hair?
10:23: The next presenters: Penelope Cruz, Salma Hayek, and Salma Hayek's breasts. (Hey I'm not complaining!)
10:28: I guess Beyonce can't sing in Spanish. I looooove Santana's guitar (though it's a little cheesy that he's wearing a Che tee)
10:47: Annette Bening looks more sedated than Maureen Dowd!
10:57: Beyonce is looking better with every performance! Aker is right, Josh Groban sings like a 40 year old man...
11:16: Laundry done! Only 8 hours later!
11:17: Charlie Kaufman wins! Woohoo for wierd scriptwriters everywhere!
11:26: Holy Cow Jamie Foxx won! What a freakin (boring) surprise!!!! Gotta admit, great speech from the guy. Who would have thought five years ago that he'd turn out to be such a classy guy?
11:34: Johnny Depp looks like a young Colonel Sanders.
11:42: And mercifully it ends.

T-MOBILE TERRORIST STRIKES AGAIN: HARDCORE PHONE VIDEO OF ROCKER FRED DURST
Am I a bad person for thinking this is funny stuff?

I don't really have a lot to say tonight. I did post chapter 6 of my serial adventure story "Dayspring" over at www.ahoy-matey.com . You should go check that out. Captain Jibidy #28 will be online tommorrow night, continuing the mysterious tale of Scurvy Steve. Speaking of which, I should go work on future issues. Peace, I'm out.

"For all of Thompson's theatrics and self-abuse, he could write like a demon. His prose accelerated across the page like a sportscar with the top down. He kept himself squarely in the picture, to great comic effect. We understood that he needed drugs the way other people needed oxygen, that he had an odd fondness for guns and violence, and that he loathed Richard Nixon and most authoritarian institutions. Otherwise, he wasn't very complicated. He didn't gum up his narrative with soul-searching. He really served as a big eyeball, if perhaps a rather glazed one." - from Joel Achenbach's Hunter S. Thompson tribute. Read the rest here.
Perry Bible Fellowship - I came across this site awhile ago, and Rocco reminded me tonight what it was - hilarious webcomic!

To quote George W. Bush: "The question we need to ask ourselves, is our children learning?" From this video, it is obvious they is not:

President Bush nominated former UN Ambass. and current Iraqi Ambass. John Negroponte to Director of National Intelligence position. His reasoning: with Powell gone, the cabinet needed to look a little blacker...
In unrelated news it was a great week for comics as there were new issues of Cable/Deadpool, New Mutants, Astonishing X-Men, and Runaways (s2) #1!!!! Four fo the best creative teams in comics! They didn't do the finale of the unintellible X-Force LS any favors by coming out the same week. Can Liefield even put sentences together? I can't but I'm not paid to. I'd like to see how FabNic handled this being as it sooooo different from what he's doing over in C/D... enough said.
Constantine comes out tommorrow and I will be seeing it. Hopefully Keanu will not make it suck.

- Pretty mediocre hour of 24, hence the lack of live blogging.
- I've become a 10 year old girl overnight it seems, apparently I'm into Kelly Clarkson now.
- I bought the Grammy performance of Stevie Wonder, Bono, Alicia Keyes, Steven Tyler, Brian Wilson, Billy Joe Armstrong, Allison Kraus, and Velvet Revolver off iTunes today. It's only a dollar, a fun version of "Across the Universe", and supports Tsunami victims.

Top 5 Television shows I'd like to see on DVD:
5. "Unhappily Ever After" - Think "Married With Children" for absurdists. It featured a hot young Nikki Cox plus Bobcat Goldthwait as a stuffed bunny living in the basement.
4. "Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman" - While Christopher Reeves WAS Superman, Teri Hatcher WAS Lois Lane. This was a fun show, that eventually jumped the shark after Loi discovered Clarks identity, but had a great Lois, a great Clark, a good Lex, and an amazing Perry White in the form of Lane Smith.
3. "Thundercats" - This, along with "Transformers" and "GI Joe" were my favorite childhood shows. It had a recent comeback with a comic series like the other two franchises (both of which are on DVD) so hopefully we will see this soon.
2. "Mind of the Married Man" - the show isn't on DVD because I think I am the only fan of the show. I thought it complemented Curb Your Enthusiasm well on HBO's schedule, and was a fun little comedy.
1. "Scrubs" - the ONLY funny sitcom on the air right now, and has been for sometime. Why why why why? Possibly the most underappreciated show on TV not called Arrested Development.
Feel free to comment on what you'd like to see on DVD!

A bunch of quick hits:
- Spent a Tower gift card today and finally picked up the Scissor Sisters' album. My fresh opinion on it - this stuff is pure rock. These people are channeling a host of artists from Elton John to Sly and the Family Stone to the Chemical Brothers. Great stuff.
- Pushing my way through Volumes 3-5 of the Sandman by Gaiman. Amazing stuff. The Season of Mists storyline has been the best I've read, and the Midsummer's Night Dream issue might be the best comic I've ever read.
- Just checked my fantasy golf team today. It's actually pretty fun. I'm currently ranked 77,518th. Out of how many I don't know. I doing well this week though, as I've jumped 20,673 places today. That seems like a lot.
- Hoping to check out Finding Neverland or Ray this weekend. This is the first year in awhile that I'm interested in more than one or two of the Oscar pics. I've already seen Sideways and Million Dollar Baby. I can't see myself going to the Aviator though. Leo (actor I dont care about) playing Howard Hughes (historical figure I don't care about) doesn't add up to a movie I need to see. I may be wonderful
- Sin City is on the cover of this week's EW. Next movie I'm really looking foward, especially 'cus Elektra was less than good and I have more than my doubts about Constantine. Sin City looks like it could be the best comic movie this year (barring FF later this year rocking)
