Matt Dallas...

Okay....first....let's get this out of the way...Matt Dallas is HOT...I mean really hot... If you don't know who he is...Google him....it'll be worth it.

Anyway, with that background information out of the way - and keeping in mind that the background info wasn't a factor in what I'm about to type - I have no reason to believe this is true...but I think Matt Dallas is gay.

First off - apparently Perez Hilton outed him on the Howard Stern show. That's obviously far from a totally accurate source. However this story made me think it it must be true...

Plus my gaydar is going off like crazy... Well...I feel better getting that information out there...and I'm sure you do too... Uhmm....yeah...

Song from Macbook Air Ad

BTW - the song in the previously mentioned Macbook Air ad is "New Soul" by Yael Naïm in case you're interested...it's not available on Zune. =-/

Really good contender for best commercial of 2008...

Okay...as you've already seen...American Express won my award for best commercial of 2007.

This ad (which probably did technically come out in 2007 I realize...but I'm choosing to ignore that slight technicality) is a early good contender for best commercial of 2008...

Macbook Air Ad

I'm once again impressed by the way Apple did an ad. I have stopped my TiVo a few times to watch this...mostly because I like the music to be honest... So essentially I like the music only...but by the 3 or 4th time I saw it I began to think "hey...this product they're showing with the music is pretty cool..."

Kudos to you Apple for another good ad...but I'm a PC guy and I've heard the Air sucks...so it didn't work......but still...kudos for the marketing!

Greg's Mind's Official Selection for Best Commercial of 2007

Okay...I know this is an overly used comment...but I have a DVR so I don't watch commercials often...but this is a commercial that I actually stop and watch...every time...

"Does Momma have to do everything around here?" Seriously....brilliant... Kudos to you Tina Fey and kudos to you American Express...

It makes your boyfriend's junk smell like pies...

Bobby and I saw Juno last night and I must say - it was great! I highly recommend checking this movie out - particularly if you licked Super Bad or Knocked Up. The acting in it is very good and the film itself is both good and funny. We both enjoyed it and I hope you do too...

Here's a trailer:

My secret life in WoW....

Fine....I'll admit it....after all my new year's resolution was to be more transparent...so one of my guilty pleasures is video games...usually on Xbox 360 or my PC for sims or tycoon games. However...lately I've found a new game...I should confess that I've been reluctant to try this game for some time now. In our relaxation time I have been living the lives of a priest (Zirach) and a paladin (Goreal).

Now, I won't go into details about my WoW life just yet...but I at least had to make this confession before any other notes about this secret life are ever posted...

Portal - Credits Song 'Still Alive'

Bobby showed me this the other day and I must admit...I didn't love it at first...but now I really love it. To give you some context - these appear at the end of The Portal from The Orange Box. Essentially you are trying to stop an evil super computer (who is trying to lure you into a trap by offering you cake...long story). Anyway - so you've just destroyed this evil super computer and then this song starts to play as the credits role...brilliant... Enjoy!
