It’s snowing here, tonight, in Chicagoland, and I like the snow. Earlier today,
before

recording this podcast, I ran into a lady who didn’t want the snow and I had
to remind her that it is still January. She complained she was old. She needs to
move.

But snow isn’t as important tonight as is the return of "Lost", the
return of "Survivor: Micronesia" next week, and I still can’t get ramped up for
the Super Bowl over the weekend. For me this year’s Super Bowl is just turning
into a weekend of Eli Manning being able to show up his brother vs. finally not
having to hear from the Miami fans, ever again, that their team is better than
any team, in any sport, in the history of the world. And as much as I still want
"American Idol" to just get to Hollywood already, it was nice seeing Paula Abdul
in a slutty-looking dress, which Simon seemed to admire, too.

The weekend seems to be bringing a buttload of crappy movies so maybe the
snow is really a blessing. It might just be time to hunker down in the Dude-Pad,
do some cleaning, and wish I had gotten tickets to the "Hannah Montana & Miley
Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert in Disney Digital 3D" movie at my local
gigaplex. At least I have her CD, thanks to iTunes. For tonight, though, I’m
done dealing with iPhone WebClips, but that’s not a story in this podcast, that
might be one for another day. I am wondering, though, with one request for a
WebClip, "What have I done?" Now you might be wondering, too.

Thanks for listening!

Fine, this might be

my lamest podcast ever, but the things in life that should excite me, or
rather the thing in life that should excite me right now, namely "American
Idol," I am almost getting bored with. It’s the audition portion, and other than
the "I Am Your Brother" dude, it’s sort of boring. I am looking forward to the
return of "Lost" and "Survivor," so at least I’ve got that to look forward to,
and I do a quick parody of "Rehab," in honor of Amy Winehouse.

Go ahead, comment on my lameness for this podcast – I probably deserve it.

2008 is only 10 days in and it’s already looking to be a weird year on both a
family front as well as with the world in general. 

With this podcast I leave out the family and concentrate on the world.

In
just 10 days we have seen enough Britney Spears’ news to last us the remaining
356 days, and her news even included Dr. Phil. The writer’s strike is quickly
crippling the award season, with the next casualty being The Golden Globes
telecast on Sunday, and the even bigger and more money-affecting decimation
being The Academy Awards if an agreement can’t be reached by then.

On the
election front, for me, I’m wondering if as many people in the rest of the
country are starting to get as confused as I am as to how Iowa and New Hampshire
should be the be-all and end-all to some Presidential campaigns, and then, on
the music front, suddenly all of the stars have become mis-aligned because Sony
BMG will be getting rid of copy protection on the music/mp3s it lets Amazon
sell, but what is up with Apple and their iTunes, you know, the people that
worked to actually save the recording industry in the first place?  Sure,
trying to save the record people helped Apple sell a buttload of iPods, but
suddenly some people were actually paying for music.

And lastly, the one show
I am looking for this Spring television season is "Survivor: Micronesia," and I
have 9 reasons to watch.  I suppose there are actually 11 reasons because
along with hiring a nanny, Ami’s link includes two more:
Two reasons are at this link:

Two more reasons are at this link:

And yet two more reasons are at this link:

Two smaller reasons are here:

And I always wanted to hire a nanny (and there are two more reasons, for a total
of three):
