Live blogging The Amazing Race will commence very soon. I haven’t done this, but it’s time to revisit the fun times of running around the world for fun and profit. Consider this the first post…
That lady protesting against the Muslim center in NY hates.
Catching some of Yankees v Red Sox. I hate them both, but it’s even better when the one supposedly good team is on a losing streak. I wish both would be losers, but that ain’t gonna happen until the Orioles can get in contention. Daisuke just struck out Texiera to end the inning.
Even moving back 60 minutes by 30 minutes, CBS still can’t start it on time because of NFL.

Andy Rooney looks like one of the dead. Zombie!
8:47 PM EST
Here we go!
How can local celebrities compete for $1 million? Why?
Marriage proposals and Amazing Race don’t seem to go well together. Yelling at your partner…
Acapella singers? That’s gay.
Hotty doctors? Yes!
Asian father son duo? First eliminated!
8:51 PM EST
You can’t tell who to root against. Let’s go evil teams!
Express Pass sounds like cheating.
8:57 PM EST
No purely young all men’s teams. Makes it tough to pick the eventual winners.
Dude, Irish, your girlfriend is hot.
9:02 PM EST
It’s amazing how, post 9-11, you can get people to do the run around in airports. I would think they would be jacked by the airport cops.
9:07 PM
Singers are last place. Also called Harry Potter. Not the way to start out.
9:09 PM EST
Driving stuck left handed. Must be awkward.
Newly dating, and you’re yelling at each other. That won’t last will it?
Don’t scream about the stick shift on the left. You have to just drive…
9:13 PM EST
Killing clutches. Is not good. Get the wrecker! EEeesh. Burning clutches!
You’ve got to go practice stick whenever you’re going on the Amazing Race.
I hate these steam lunches commercial. Why do you want an asshole as a spokesman?
9:20 PM EST
Clutches are a problem. Hunh?
Guys are lost? Get out of the car.
I like how they get Harry Potter to talk about magic!
Bullocks with the colonials!!! Ha ha ha!!!
Fat people on that boat isn’t going make across!!
9:38 PM EST
Slow and steady gets you across the water in the turtle boat.
Damn. I hate eliminations in the first leg…
That’s gotta hurt… Ouch with the watermelon…
9:46 PM EST
That’s right sister. That’s the Amazing Race for you.
That girl running who was hit in the face is hilarious!!
The boat roadblock is getting to be hilarious.
I think the reunited mother-daughter team is gonna be philiminated. Yes. It’s been a long time since I’ve used that word!
9:54 PM EST
I have to always question why they eliminate in the first round. They should throw a wrench and keep it open. Allow these fools a second chance.
You can’t get lost going to Phil. You just can’t!!
These tattooed people are really, really stupid.
10:02 PM
Yes. They really are stupid.
10:04 PM EST
Here’s who I’m rooting for: Asians, mother-daughter reunited, hottie girl and her leprechaun buddy. Would’ve rooted for the black dudes, but man they got lost and lost the first leg (just predicting).
It’s getting close to last teams. Come on mother-daughter. Come on black guys. That boat ain’t gonna help.
10:12 PM EST
Logic ain’t gonna get you across that water big, black guy.
Damn, first elimination. Black guys. Damn, you, Amazing Race! Why must you crush our hopes!!
10:15 PM EST
Thus ends the return of live blogging Amazing Race. It hasn’t been cool to watch the show in a long time, but it still is fun. Who’s coming with if I do it?
“This is just like that episode of Star Trek when they entered a parallel universe where everything was the same except they were all on heroin.”
Some nendoroids are meant to be bought. Others aren’t. I regret buying the Drossel, two Black Rock Shooter (one would’ve been enough), and Binchou-tan. But most of the time, nendoroids are too cute to pass up. I’ve got at least twenty perhaps more, and all were imported from Japan. I missed out on a few like Itoshiki-sensei and the awesome Staccato version of Nao. I still have a few on pre-order: the girls of Love-plus and the Disappearance of Suzumiya Haruhi, but I have to slow down on purchasing them. Unless, you want to help me buy them. Hint hint birthday/Christmas, happy day presents. TIA!
“Gorgeous” “Pretty with great hair.”
Because really cute asians is not enough, we go to the whole Korean photo idol queens over at Korea FTW. After everyone’s favorite, Hwang Hi Mee, I’ll take Kim Ha Yul. No idea why.
“Mr. Lindsey, is this your skull?”
A reminder of how humorless our national discourse has been. Stephen Colbert just skewers things and causes all sorts of funny reactions. I’m posting the White House Press Corps dinner because I remember how funny it was and true. Damn, that guy really makes the Republicans squirm.
“I feel so naked.” “What’s so new about that?”
Lately, I've been listening to music that is a bit heavy. It's got to be somewhat somber and scary. If I have to put it into words the type of music it is, my sentence would be, "Music scary to old, white people." I've already wrote about my search for some Sabbath. I've got it, ripped it, and now I'm listening to it at work. I want to jam out to "War Pigs" and howl like I, myself, am "Paranoid." Turn the volume up to 11, sit hunkered at my desk, and listen for the subliminal messages.I've jammed out to Public Enemy. "Can't Truss It!" "Don't Believe the Hype!" A big, black fist thrown in the air in defiance. Imma gonna get mine and take it out of your hide.Ice Cube's third album, "The Predator," boomed from my car on the ride in. Written around the time of the Rodney King riots it's a about taking down the clowns in authority through any means necessary. "Not guilty. The filthy devils try to kill me."Always on the rotation is Alice in Chains. I just love the sludge they put through my earbud's speakers. Dark, depressing stuff.I know I'm just anxious. Stuck in my predicament, I can't really doing too much. Or I can, but choose not to at this time. It's making me hateful. I would just love to jam out to something dark. Turn the lights off. I'm gonna get some.
“What’s the story with your face, son?” “Oh, yeah, this is something I grew out during vacation, well, you know, to make myself look sexier.”
Link of the Day [9.24.10]My buddy, Wyman, is on a world tour to wherever JetBlue flies. He's doing the All You Can Jet promotion flying everywhere and anywhere in 30 days. Sounds like fun to pack up and just go without any destination in mind. He's blogging some of his trip in today's link. Makes me want to just go.http://wyman90.wordpress.com/

“Well, you take a human being and assign a dollar value to his head. It’s the devil’s work, Dave. It’s bad hoodoo”
You sometimes need Sabbath! I went searching for their second album on iTunes, but found to my misfortune that it hasn’t been released for digital download. I also checked Amazon, found that to be true, and then headed off to Best Buy to purchase the CD. They don’t sell any more CDs at Best Buy though, because the music section has shrunk dramatically. I ended up getting it at Record and Tape Traders.
Anyway, I ended up on YouTube watching people play on Rock Band or Guitar Hero and thought that you, too, could use some Sabbath. You sometimes need Sabbath!
