Stuff I Found on the Web this Week

The Saints are Actually Sinners:  I don't give a crap about sports... unless it's controversial.  But if ESPN looks more like Days of our Lives, then suddenly I'm interested.  Brian was so proud that I was watching ESPN.  And then when I went to their website?  Well, I don't mean to call him out on the internet like this, but I'm pretty sure that I saw him wiping away tears.

Hello, Manning. Goodbye, Tebow:  It was a big week for football!  Manning was signed by the Denver Broncos, so Tebow got traded to the New York Jets.  And now all of New York is celebrating with an outrageous party that would completely mortify Tim Tebow.  Pretty ironic, huh?



Hunger Games Poetry:  A very nice reader named David emailed me a link to a poem that he wrote about The Hunger Games.  Have you seen the movie yet?  I haven't.  Just like Twilight, I haven't read the book, so I'm not going completely bananas about the movie like everybody else is.  You'd think that a girl who posts videos of herself doing the Roger Rabbit would try a little harder to act like the cool kids.  Yeah. YOU'D THINK.

How much did Faith Hill drink?  If you read my blog, then you know about my love/hate relationship with Faith Hill.  Meaning, I hate some of the things that she does, but I love making fun of her for them.  I stumbled upon this web-chat that Faith put out around Christmas.  And, look - I'm not asking you to watch all 8 minutes and 6 seconds (as if anybody could actually do that).  I'm just asking you to watch the first minute and then we'll play a game.  It's just like guessing how many jellybeans are in a jar - except this time - we're trying to guess how many bottles of booze Faith drank before making this video.  Or lines of coke?  Or different types of prescription pills?  Whatever.  Dealer's choice.

Song of the Week - Suitcase by Joe Purdy  After the week I had, I pulled out this song and gave it a listen.  Everybody needs a place or a person to make them feel safe when life feels suckish.



Don't worry with your suitcase, dear
And don't worry with your suitcase, dear
Cause the people out to get you
They don't know that you're here
So don't worry with your suitcase, dear


Honey, you don't have to go nowhere
Honey, you don't have to go nowhere
Cause there's people out their screaming
They linger in the air
But you don't have to go nowhere


Just forget about your troubled mind
Just forget about your troubled mind
Oh, cause I can see you dreaming
Knowing that it's time
So forget about your troubled mind

So don't worry with your suitcase, dear
No, don't worry with your suitcase, dear
Cause the people out to get you
They don't know that you're here
So don't worry with your suitcase, dear
No, the people out to get you
They don't know that you're here
So don't worry with your suitcase, dear
