7 Wonders of the Day

1. I have had a lot of "Sandra Bullock" moments lately. No, not that kind, but the ones where you are "surfin' the web" and you accidentally click on something that leads to something unexpected. I accidentally clicked on an icon not meant to be clicked, and it took me into system settings for the entire software platform/setup. I was hesitant to do anything, but I thought it was cool. Anyway, it has been happening at a rate of 1 occurrence/week.

2. I eat a lot of cereal, which most of you are aware of. Anyway, I have never won a contest by opening a box of cereal. Just once I would love to open it up and see a "Congrats! You won a family trip to DISNEY!" Whop-de-do.

3. I was walking down the toy aisle of CVS today (yes, sometimes I do this because they got cool little gadgets, like Silly Putty, that I may want every now and then) and saw they were selling a gameboy game. A gameboy game. At CVS. CVS.

4. This is the first time this millennium that Madden 200X has not been inserted into my XBOX the day of the purchase/release. Very weak on my behalf, but I don't have the time for childish games that let me control the Philadelphia Eagles franchise, players and games. I can't wait!

5. Top 5 shows on TV right now. 1) Big Brother 6 - just a great reality TV show that is so ghetto, but great. 2) Rescue Me - Dennis Leary is a genius. This show is fantastic. All roles are played extremely well and Leary's character is classic. A must watch if you have never seen. 3) Entourage - slipped to #3 because this season is draging on with not a lot of humor in the past few weeks. Season 1 was gold, and the beginning was fantastic. But it's slipping. 4) Laguna Beach/The Real World - awful MTV programming that I cannot miss. Laguna Beach has some of the most 'redonkulous' females I have ever seen (and they are only 18, maybe 19, some 17) years old. The Real World is a classic that has fallen off big time lately, but this season is picking up some of that slack. 5) Mind of Mencia/Cheap Seats - 2 darkhorse comedies that made it in here since I can now watch them thanks to TiVo. Hilarious shows.

6. Don't pay attention to the fact that I listed 7 shows instead of 5. It was my rule, so I could've said top 7 shows, but I went with 5. Shhhh... Stop that.

7. As catchy as the 'Empire Carpet' jingle can be, I will NEVER remember their phone number. Giant Glass is different, but Empire just got it all wrong. I know the melody, by the number can be whatever I want it to be at that time. Awful.
