...

this song by Brooke Hogan w/ Paul Wall has been seriously stuck in my head for the last couple days...and i don't really mind...that beat! that hook!


also

aside from having the best shows on tv, Bravo really knows how to rock a weekend marathon...Project Runway has been one of my favorite shows since falling in love with the bedazzled-plunging-v-neck-shirt-wearing Santino Rice (and even though i'm not gay i got all giddy when Santino tongue n' cheekily propositioned me on myspace a couple years ago)...Beck and i even went to the Bad Boys of Runway meet and greet last year at the Castro staring Jeffrey Sibelia and Santino Rice...i digress (i hate that segue) so, i've only watched a handful of episodes this season, partly because i don't really watch tv (though i'm not a hater, i enjoy tv, i just don't watch it that much), partly because i've been really busy, partly because it's on too late...so, imagine my joy yesterday when, too hungover to move from the couch, i stumbled upon an all day Project Runway marathon on Bravo...to me, marathons are the preferable way to follow a program...maybe it's my short attention span, while i may enjoy a show it's rare that i think to myself "okay John, mark your calendar to make sure you tune in next week..."...tv is a one off thing for me, quick fix, i don't know, does anybody from Gen Y really "follow" television programing anymore?" (Netflix and baseball aside) i'm doubtful...anyway, so yesterday i made myself a giant hamburger, got my favorite blanket from the linen closet, closed the blinds, sequestered my cell phone to the charger in the kitchen and melted into the couch, for 7 hours...it was great. the whole season (except for the finale) in one afternoon, and now i'm totally caught up...so, thank you Bravo Network for catering to the "coastal demographic" (your words) and running mindnumbing yet stimulating reality television all weekend for those too hungover to leave the house...and can i just say, does anybody else think this season is pretty lame-duck? i don't know, there's something completely inert about it, just going-through-the-motions...maybe the designers are boring this season, maybe the garmets are boing this season, maybe Tim Gunn self reflixively chimming "make it work!" ad infinitum has become more off-putting than charming...maybe all of these things have something to do with it...though i love local favorite Chris March...he's so fucking SF i can't stand it, even if he now lives in NYC...

oh and much to my chagrin (i hate that phrase) Bravo's Make Me A Supermodel is pretty great too...

today i think i'm going to GG Park for BBQ and beers and baseball chucking.

update: it's too cold for GG Park, some friends are getting together at Dolores... maybe i'll go there, though i doubt it.

someone subscribed to my YouTube channel today. the first one to do so. my YouTube videos pretty much suck. i don't know what this guy was thinking.
