Because I have this painfully stong late night boredom floating through my vains, I have been subject to a great deal of television. The majority is self-inflicted, but some of it is quite welcome.

I don’t know if anyone else has noticed it, but like other Viacom held networks (Nickleodeon, MTV, CMT, VH1), TVLand has overhauled its format to include tamer versions of pretty much everything that can be found on VH1. But, the best part is that they kicked all this off with a Cosby Show Marathon!

The Cosby Show holds a special place in my heart out of a lot of shows because it is consistently funny, and it reminds me a lot of my own home life. Middle class African-Americans trying to raise a family with radnom quirks every 30 minutes. As an homage, I have this photo hanging in my apartment right now.

Seriously, no joke.

You know the painting that hung in the Huxtable family living room entitled “Funeral Processional?” This one?

We have a duplicate of it at home.

If you’re feeling particularly nostalgic for program that isn’t reality and does not feature in any way form or fashion WIll Ferell, go to TVLand. Watch The Cosby Show. Laugh. It’ll be good for you!

If you get a chance, go on over to the YOung and Free Texas Website and check out my new podcast! Its about reality TV, and its pretty awesome if I do say so myself. And I do.

I just ate an entire extra large bag of Twizzlers.

I am the champion.

So, apparently there’s a hurricane happening.

Over here in Waco we’re expecting a bit of the sidestorm.

I came home today and maintenance has taken down all of our porch swings, ostenstiously to keep them from flying back and forth in the storm and breaking our windows. How thoughtful! However, I’m pretty sure they just took bolt cutters and cut mine down because they were rusty or something. Tears.

I’m orginally from North Houston, and my mother called me to let me know that all of my cousins and family who live in the deep of Houston and go to U of H or Prairie View are staying out the house. However, if the water gets too high at the house they are, in the words of my mother, “rolling on up out of there.”

Now realizing that the hurricane is mostly imminent, I went to Wally World to stock up on some goodness. And while I was there, I noticed that they jacked up the price of a 24 pack of soda to $7!!!! Last week is was $5. Hmmmm.

So what does a hurricane hideouter procure to keep sane for a weekend?

• Special Edition Onion Blossoms Pringles (don’t get these. they are not delicious. they just taste like salt)
• Apple Juice!
• Cheez-Its
• Fudge Rounds (the big size)
• Twizzlers Rainbow Twists (I have a strange affinity for these. except for the orange ones.)
• and Ugly Betty Season 2. Which I’ve been meaning to get for awhile now.

As always, take a few seconds to mosey on over to the competition blog to see whats crackin! Also, if anyone would like to AIM me, my sn is psilikecheese. Peaces!

So, this is my outfit for the next Guerrilla Troupe Video. If you didn’t know, G Troupe is Baylor’s Improv Comedy Troupe. I got that awful/awesome jacket back in December for $12 and to date, have never had an opportunity to wear it. I got the gloves and the mask from Goodwill! Nice, I know. That shirt is one of my favorites, it says “Future Celebrity.” So when I become famous people can say, “He did always wear that “Future Celebrity” shirt.” The red socks, sadly belong to me. Do I look like a crime fighter or what?
