"Cocaine is a Helluva Drug"

First, I'd like to thank Jobi. His back must surely be sore as hell with the amount of weight he's carrying around for me. Keep on truckin, bro.

Secondly: FUCK YEAH GIANTS!!!! Takin down those bastard D-back D-Bags was awesome. Couple of strategic hits won you guys the game. THAT'S what you guys need to get in the groove of doing. You don't have power bats, so don't even try to pretend like you do. Play a smart ball game and hit 'em where they look like absolute idiots going after them.

On a related note, after all this time in CT, I JUST NOW found out that the Connecticut Defenders, which play like 20 minutes away, are a FUCKING GIANTS AA FEEDER TEAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm breaking out my cap and my glove and enjoying me some goddamn baseball REAL SOON.
..... as soon as my job stops killing me that is....

Oh, and I would just like to point out that Jobi laid the smack down on Carl Pavano, A.K.A C-Piddy. Bad move, bro..... bad. move. You know he's gonna come over to your apartment, beat every single one of your PS2 AND PS3 games before breakfast, down an entire vat of Hollandaise in front of your face, and then throw Truth Sauce at you in the form of a 500mph curveball through your TV that somehow ends up lodged in your colon last week. Cuz that's how he rolls. And you, my friend, have awoken the sleeping dragon. Warn your girlfriend and the neighbors, they won't want to see this....

Moving on:
Yes, I agree that Eggs and Toast has been dominated by sports talk as of late, but you know what? I'm ok with that for the time being. Why? Cuz baseball rocks and is a very important part of both Jobi's and my lives. Besides which, my brain is so damn fried from being beaten into the mantle of the Earth, I really haven't been able to find anything to talk about recent. I haven't even been keeping up with Penny Arcade! *GASP!* Yes, it's true. I am a shame to the human race. I shall fall on my sword upon finishing this post.

Now, I must re-touch on something quite important to me: My Creative Zen. In my initial review I made mention that I would download videos from Unbox and check them out on my Zen. Well, I did, and the verdict is: BUY THIS DEVICE. I watched Christopher Walken's recent hosting of SNL on the Zen on my way to New York this past weekend, and that little 16.7 MILLION color screen is a thing of absolute wonder. Sound was great, and the picture was astounding. Only drawback? It's small. But then again, that's why I got it. I didn't want to lug around a massive media player device (nor could I afford it). What's next? I just downloaded the first two episodes of Battlestar Galactica season 4. Yeah. That's right. A whoooole lotta Tricia Helfer.

As for Unbox itself, the verdict is still out I think. What's nice: it downloads both a full video file for my computer of whatever I order as well as a smaller file specifically for my Zen. That's pretty slick. The interface of unbox's website and specialized desktop browser/asst. is nothing fancy, but it's intuitive and gets the job done. Great thing: It's not iTunes, which I hate with an absurd passion. "But Blogi, how do you live without iTunes?! The world can't spin without iTunes!!" Bite me. It's called Winamp. I can customize pretty much anything about Winamp that I want AND it doesn't take up my entire goddamn screen. I can set it to become transparent when not being used, which is slick. What does it lack? mp3 ripping. Do I care? no. Why? because there is absolutely no lack of free software (that's NOT itunes) to rip mp3's from CD's (AND strip them of any stupid encoding as well). I personally use the software that came from my old Creative Muvo, which allows me to rip MP3's of any bit rate of my choosing, and DOESN'T automatically encode songs into that stupidass protected AAC3 format. I'll go off on this whole topic of music sharing and protected digital files on a later date. But I'll say this for now: Big time music artists are in no danger of filing for bankruptcy any time soon, and the record industry has found creative ways to maintain its revenue. SO QUIT YER BITCHING.

I also might have a new digital camera review on the horizon.

But first: I fall on my sword.

Roadkill Blogi out.

"That's not a knife, that's a spoon!" ..... Damn.
