The Construct

I like Conan O’Brien. And what NBC is doing to him is absolutely unjust. Jay Leno gambled with his own show. Too bad for him, it crapped out on the ratings. Now he wants Conan’s time slot and looks to be getting it.

Quite honestly, I find Conan the funnier guy. And Leno’s made already so why can’t he give Conan a decent break. Anyway, Jimmy Kimmel has the best potshots to Leno’s boring ass:

I guess underneath all that shiny veneer is the real ugly face of a cutthroat business. It’s just one of those things that remind you that corporate America still will rear its ugly head when it gets the chance.

My first attempt at “pro” blogging (as in trying to make money with blogging) isn’t with this website or with Bloggy Network. It’s with this blog – Sugoi Stuff. It was December of 2006 when I proposed the idea to a couple of friends of mine from back in college. Being the anime heads that we were, we decided on putting up a Philippines-Japan blogzine.

As with many virginal attempts, it had been quite the disappointment. We started with much vigor, even sponsoring a couple of events, but eventually, real work got in the way and Stugoi Stuff took the back seat. There were a couple of attempts to finally get it back on track but it proved to be tough to squeeze in posting on the blog when all of us needed to do work that actually pays.

My Name is Earl is one of my favorite TV shows probably, second best next to House. But the last season was totally crappy it has started to sink low in my personal ratings. To make matters worse, check out this scene from the comeback (after the writers’ strike) opener:

Yup. Guess who that skank is. Ugh. That was low.

I’ve been sorting thousands of MP3 files in my old desktop and I found this little gem. It’s an acoustic version of Worse by Ethos.

News Flash/Speedlink:

Rico Blanco leaves Rivermaya courtesy of rebelpixel productions.

I’m still in shock with the news. Rico has got to be one of my favorite local music personalities out there. And Rivermaya became a favorite ever since he took the reigns and led ‘Maya to transformations.

Likewise, no offense to the amazing talent that is the remainder of the group but ‘Maya without Rico is pretty much like pork adobo without the pork.
