Happy Birthday, Scott! Check out the pictures from Scott's big night out right here.
Joyce Taylor, Pick Your Game Up
An open letter to Joyce Taylor:
My fellow WWU alum, you help me start my weekday mornings, and for that I am grateful. However, I noticed this morning that you weren't all there. You said that "Godzilla" was leading the box office three times when you meant "King Kong." Rich Marriot had to correct you on air. And then you struggled to say "pro bowl football."
Joyce, what is wrong? Is Brad Goode annoying you? Is Kaitlin King's KIRO team intimidating you? Are you cracking under the pressure of being an Emmy award-winning anchor? Hopefully this Christmas season, you'll take some time off to relax and reflect upon how you can return to your stellar form.
Sincerely,
Paolo
Fake Christmas Trees
<-- My first (fake) Christmas tree.
Scott's birthday is tomorrow and we're celebrating at the Unicorn in Tacoma tomorrow night. The address is located in the sidebar, as is a video from his party at the Unicorn last year. I hope to see you all there!
Props to Michelle
I'm a bad friend. Here we are, three weeks out from the Division II women's national title game, and now I'm recognizing Stadium HS and SPU soccer great Michelle Everson. Better late than never, I guess.
SPU lost to Nebraska-Omaha 2-1 in that game, but take into context that the SPU women's soccer program has only been in existence for five years. Michelle was named to the NCAA Division II all-tournament team.
Both the Seattle Times and Tacoma News Tribune have written articles about Michelle and SPU soccer during the past month.
Here's a little known story: Michelle asked me to Twin Tolo senior year of high school. We went together, and she professed her undying love to me at Jazzbones over burgers. I told her we shouldn't get involved, as I sensed her best friend Ally shared the same feelings for me and I didn't want them to get in a scuffle. I told Michelle to move on and play soccer and SPU. She's had a successful soccer career and is now engaged to a great guy, Tony. I couldn't be more happy for the both them, but I have to take some credit for her collegiate success as it all could have turned out differently that night at Jazzbones. We have both moved on and, fortunately, have remained friends.
In related news, Gwen Stefani is pregnant. She and I were happy to receive the news as we have been trying to conceive for some time. Please respect our privacy and contact our publicist if you have any questions. Thank you.
Lazy Sundays in Iran
Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has banned all Western music and "arrogant" movies from Iran's airwaves.
This comes at a critical time - when SNL is actually creating funny content. Check out the music video that appeared on SNL last Saturday. Hopefully the hip Iranian kids can catch the "Lazy Sunday" video before it becomes illegal.
