Rooting for Leo

I grew up hating Leonardo DiCaprio. I rooted against him in movies. For instance, in Titanic I rooted against him - I yelled at him when he was floating in the water for not trading time on the door or swiming around to find another piece of wreckage.

But in "The Departed," I found myself rooting for him for the first time ever (I don't really count "Catch Me If You Can" because he went overboard after being initally cool). The Departed was really, really good.

Also, Chase Edmonds makes a cameo (playing the role of Berrigan) and anytime someone from 24 shows up you know its going to be good. Unfortunately, he is sporting a very bad haircut. It took forever to find it, but I found a mediocre shot of it - Chase is on the far left.



I won't spoil anything about the movie - because there are some really good plot twists - but it is well worth seeing.

This one isn't in the movie, it is just a bad haircut on Chase.

Good Times With My Dog

Many of you know I have a dog. She is about 4 and 1/2 months old and pretty freaking sweet. It has been fun teaching her tricks and stuff, but one of my favorite things to do with my dog is watch TV with her.

You see, my dog is still young enough that noises on TV still confuse her, so if a dog is barking or someone is knocking on the door, my dog perks up. Basically, this results in her just staring at the TV the whole time I watch it, which is a lot.

She also spent this morning barking at the mirror in my room. It woke me up, but it was kind of funny.

It may seem like something small, but it's good times.

Dog Humping

I have no comment for this video file - it is just funny.

Facebook Bush Leaguery

I have heard reports (and checked it out myself) that for some reason the Facebook.com does not allow YouTube videos to be posted in Notes. Essentially this means that when I post videos in my blog (and let Facebook import them), you can't see them.

That's bush league. They add a good feature, but don't let us really use it. I guess it prevents advertising.

Anyway, from now my posts will contain this small disclaimer on the bottom:

Just thought you should know.

The Human Torch Was Denied A Bank Loan...

...is a funny line from Anchorman; however, it is not in this clip. It is a funny Ron Burgandy clip that was not included in the movie, though.

ESPN Mobile KO'd

In some actual semi-interesting news - the world wide leader is killing their ESPN Mobile. This is more than a rumor - here is the actual Reuters link .

Its kind of disappointing, all things considered, I thought it was a cool idea, although a bit gimicky. I am going to miss some of the funny mobile commercials and instead of describing them, I've linked to a few of them.

This Guy Is A Trainwreck

Also, what the hell happened with the Huskers this weekend? Nothing like reminders of how bad we were last year on the O(h shit) line. Fortunately, ISU just about got taken out by a I-AA team, Colorado already has, KSU lost to a bad Baylor team and we already hold a 1-up on KU. So we pretty much just have to play like we did, beat everyone in the north and wait for Misery to implode when they visit us.
