greetings from niagara falls...

let me share the view on this comfortable saturday evening in western new york...

sorry for the image quality - given the light (or lackthereof), it was the best my vaio's on-board web cam could do.


anyways, the long weekend is in full swing. i hope you're finding time to break from labor and spend time with those close to you. i am blogging from my fam's backyard, watching the sun set as the wind bristles against the water of our inground pool, all while typing, fending off the occasional mosquito, and of course, sipping my labatt blue light.


in related news - my mom bought a case of labatt summer brews... i didn't even know such things existed - i'll let you know how johnny labatt's take on honey lager and other summer favorites fare.


enjoy these next couple days off, i'll catch you back on the radio tuesday evening with a brand new segment - the daily download. yes, it's as cool as it sounds.

carrie takes a dip with phelps...

file this one under, "an olympian's attempt to stay relevant."

full story, phelps first date preferences included, here.

kanye and oprah - hand in hand.

throw the partisanship out the window for a second, this is pretty cool.

heck, any moment in time where kanye is answering questions for oprah is notable.

live like heath...

j-mac covers t-pain...

jury still out on this for me... i'll get your thoughts tonight...

new kanye video...

kinda late on this one... dope track off of graduation called "good morning" - all animated - from the grammy nominated...

song reminds me of the amazing experience at montage...

cat calls make a comeback...

actually, i don't think cat calling ever left. show me a woman that doesn't love the attention, and i'll show you a liar.

of course there's a study, and it's here.

whitney (de)port's her standards...

she's in nyc filming for her new reality show, and could do way better than this...

someone tell her that i'll sign the footage release form.

demi lovato falls...

i don't feel bad for her - because rumor has it at an appearance in binghamton earlier this month, she expected the red carpet, hollywood treatment, and acted like a snob.

in binghamton.

be weary of fishy sushi...

sometimes, fruit may be the right route of healthy eating in the city...

heidi's new video...

it's for the song i posted last week - "overdosin" - and no, thankfully this wasn't filmed by spencer, although it might be just as painful to watch.

p.s. - does anyone care about the hills season 4?

lots of dough in the hills...

read this and try not to throw up as you caruse through the figures of what lauren, speidi, and others on mtv's the hills make per episode.

britney's manager shoots down the rumors...

larry rudolph told ryan seacrest his client, britney spears, will not be performing on the vma's... whoa, what was that?! oh, just the spin i felt - that's all.

i still believe.

dunder-miflin employee busted.

craig robinson was at "the office convention" last year. but certainly his real life isn't a reflection of any actual dunder-miflin employees.

better known as "darryl philbin" - warehouse foreman - plead guilty to one count of possession of a controlled substance. the item at hand was ecstacy. he escapes with just community service and drug education classes.

photos from the weekend...

mo and i hit up the tomato fest in pittston. i was not impressed, for a number of reasons.

for starters: if this picture was taken after i took a bite, my thumb would've aimed in the opposite direction. it was my first and probably last dish of gnocchi in the commonwealth. gnocchi is my favorite pasta - and this was my least favorite dish - as i don't prefer any type of pasta smooshy.

london broil, sauerkraut-filled pierogies, and beatles music at the tomato fest? puh-leeze. obviously people enjoy it, and there is plenty of good food still (sopresatta sandwiches from sabatelle's were out of this world) but i don't think i'll be returning next year.

the facebook album is here.
