WHAT?!
I'm in such shock (pissed!) I'm willing to screw up the layout of my blog.

It looks as though I'm about 10 entries behind where I should be. I've been really busy at work and busy in my "off" time with applications for my Ph. D. Since no one I know really reads this blog I feel more comfortable saying I am absolutely terrified in applying to these schools. I haven't done anything musical in the past two years, I have an unfinished second masters and the people I've asked recommendation letters from haven't replied; probably because they don't remember who I am. On top of this I have to retake the GRE which asks questions that no one would ever need to know. Even as a computer programmer I barely scratch the surface of the questions they ask and I am responsible for databases with millions of entries and advanced boolean logic. Who cares what a cosine is? Not me!

One of the things that drives me especially crazy about this blogging software is its inability to store apostrophes in the page titles. Who cares, you say. I care. Why? This blog gets a ton of traffic for Greys Anatomy and practically none for Grey's Anatomy. Most smart, normal people will put the apostrophe in because hey, it's the title to the show: Grey's Anatomy. Becuase of this little hiccup in Serendipity I can't attract those searchers simply because I don't have a match and the search engines have not yet figured out that it's the same thing. Now I'm stuck on like Page 3 for Grey's Anatomy Music when I'm #1 on Page 1 for Greys Anatomy Music. See the problem?

LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Doctor doctor, give us the news. But the TV network ABC is staying mum about the reported on-set scuffle between the actors portraying Dr. McDreamy and Dr. Burke on TV's top-rated "Grey's Anatomy."
An argument between Isaiah Washington and Patrick Dempsey got physical and led to a temporary pause in production, the New York Daily News reported in its Wednesday editions.
The actors shared a heated exchange Monday about cast members delaying a scene when Washington, 43, grabbed Dempsey, 40, by the throat and shoved him, according to the newspaper.
Representatives for the actors said the two have made amends.
"Differences are inevitable," Washington's publicist, Cynthia Snyder, said in a statement. "They were aired, resolved and everyone has moved on."
Dempsey's spokeswoman echoed that sentiment: "There was an argument on set. In any close-knit family, sometimes people argue. But everybody made up and went back to work."
On-set arguments are common, said TV historian Tim Brooks, co-author of "The Complete Directory to Prime Time Network and Cable TV Shows."
"Diva-like conduct is certainly not unusual," he said. "You have a lot of egos there, and you have a lot of creative people who think they're more creative than the other."
"Moonlighting," which aired from 1985 to 1989, was famous for its fighting on set, Brooks said. More recently, rumors of on-set animosity dogged ABC's "Desperate Housewives" and The WB's "Charmed."
But physical violence "is pretty unusual," he said, adding that anything that harms an actor's appearance could affect their work.
"Dr. McDreamy needs his cheekbones," Brooks said. "Real violence can lead to fictional violence that can end your job."
Now in its third season, "Grey's Anatomy" has been the No. 1 show in the Nielsen ratings for two of the new season's three weeks. The romantic medical drama centers on the personal and professional lives of surgeons and interns at the fictional Seattle Grace hospital. Besides Dempsey and Washington, the show stars Sandra Oh, Katherine Heigl and Ellen Pompeo.
The show earned 11 Emmy nominations this year, including one for best drama, and won the prize for outstanding casting. It was also nominated for three Golden Globe awards and Oh won for best supporting actress.

Looks like it's time for the Project Runway Season Finale predictions. I guess Jeffrey is the guy with the most questions so let's start with him. They're not going to kick him off. The fact they made such a big deal about it and Bravo's track record of overselling bad things makes me think the suspicion will be there but they will be unable to prove he cheated. The only way he would get caught if his receipts included cheap Guatamalan labor. Not likely. Let me put it this way, if I was a drug cartel operating in the United States I wouldn't declare drug profits to get the small business tax credits.
Laura's stuff looked very Lauraish. Professional, well-made and designed for pre-retirement community. I think she should play it up and have a herd of senior citizen models. Hands down though, she has the most refined look and I think there is something to be said for the clear quality of her work.
Michael was a shoe-in to win during the season. His urban hipster look was extremely popular and since Kara Saun lost the show has desperately needed a new demographic for a winner. Michael is black and straight, and most importantly, he had a great vision. Unfortunately, the things he has made for Olympus Fashion Week are UGLY. Ugly ugly. So ugly they might look good on Jeffrey's wife. It's also too late to make it work.
Looks like Uli is going to win because everyone else did something retarded. The only problem with Uli could potentially be Santino-itis. Last year Santino was told every week to tone it down. Week after week after week, "bring it down Santino" so after hearing this for months he decides he's going to do it for Fashion Week. And what happened? Everyone complained this his stuff wasn't very Santino-y. This is going to be the problem with Uli. She's all but abandoned the pastel prints that got her this far. Overall though, she's got the fun look that is required to win. Go Uli.

JEFF! JEFFREY! You cheating scum!! Laura clearly has a dectective as a husband as evidenced from his brief appearance. Jeffrey, who made Tim drink out of a glass with the word *** cursived upon it clearly had to have cheated.
And his wife. Wow. Who know that Project Runway would carry such a strong: Don't Do Drugs message? Watching Jeffrey and his wife (to say nothing of his clone-looking son) are way more effective than the commercials from my youth that involved a frying pan and an egg. Don't want to have a moh-mullet? Don't do drugs!
The outro is making us think he's going to be kicked off. Yeah right. Bravo is the absolute worst about making dramatic things seem 1000x times worse. I remember seeing the commercials for BlowOut and the only clip they showed was Jonathan Anton getting pissed at some bottle and punch a door. Hello, some of live in the South and seeing people punching doors is pretty dern common. Yee-haw.
So who wins? Leave me a comment!

I am pleased to announce that Google makes at least $1950 a second. That is a lot of money. If their worth is $65b, which was the number I was assuming, it breaks down to about 2/3's of my monthly salary each second. In the time it takes me to write this entry, about three minutes, Google will make around $350,000. You know what though--good for them. They found a market and they don't take advantage of anyone to do it. In my mind, they're well worth the $1950/second.

You know what I wish? I wish Starbucks had those 72oz. steak deals. You know when you're driving through the middle of nowhere in Oklahoma and you see a sign that says something like, "72oz. steak FREE! (if you can eat in an hour)"--I wish there was one of those at Starbucks. "4 Venti Iced Vanilla Lattes FREE (if you can drink them in an hour)". Man, I'd have eight of those puppies a day.

Now Google's got YouTube.com. Good for them. I'm not exactly sure what makes it worth over $1.6b but I guess the old saying Where there's traffic there's money must be true. Apparently Google is discussing a revenue-sharing system much like AdSense where uploading users can put AdSense. I obviously already have AdSense running on the blog and I can tell you firsthand that it does not make a ton of money for me. It only gets about five clicks a day and they're usually for some stupid survey that brings in about four cents. I know, I know, it all adds up. But not really. Anyway, if I had good videos to share I'd probably use the GoogTube service but since I'm old and out of touch with reality I do not.

We missed Grey's Anatomy again. I don't think we've caught one on Thursday night yet. We had to wait until Sunday before it became available on the abc.com website. It really pisses me off that they don't put it up there immediately following the initial broadcast. We still have to sit through commercials on the online version so the only downside for them is that they lose the head-to-head ratings. With Grey's Anatomy easily dominating Thursday nights it's not like they're going to replace it.
I remember now why I didn't like Grey's Anatomy when it first aired. There is just too much unbelievable stuff happening. Like Dr. Bailey is suddenly Dr. Friendly with Izzy. Come on. Izzy would be gone and Denny's family would be suing the hell out of the hospital. You can't just let that storyline drop. I hate how they live in a repercussionless world. Lost would suck if it were like that. Oh no, on Lost if you stray into the forest you'll be eaten. Not on Grey's Anatomy. If the Grey's Anatomy cast were lost on a deserted island I'm sure they'd find the ruins of a Starbucks with all the venti iced vanilla lattes they could drink. And there would be no Others. There would only be another wrecked plane containing the cast of Baywatch before Pamela and David's bodies got all funhouse-mirror. Hopefully some terrible things will befall the Grey's cast soon or else I'm going to have to stop watching. Not that I'll really stop watching. But still. You get the idea.

I love Led Zeppelin. They are my favorite band of all-time. I also love FSU. You wouldn't think they have a lot in common but they do. They both kicked ass for a LONG time. However, they hit a point where they just flat out suck. Recently I've been trying really, really hard to like Coda, Led Zeppelin's last studio album. It's so, so, so bad. However, because they're Led Zeppelin I desperately want to give them the benefit of the doubt. Like FSU, you see little glimmers here and there (a nice transition or a 30 yard pass to De'Cody Fagg) and you think, "Yeah, that's it! This is my band/team!" but no. As a die hard fan it's hard to accept those good moments as flukes when deep down you know it. You know you're more like the band that produced Boogie With Stu and consistantly runs for six on 3rd and 20 than the group that made Dancing Days and had Warrick Dunn breaking 60 yard runs consistantly. It just sucks. That's all.
