I've got olympic fever...or maybe just SARS
Last night on Project Runway the contestants designed outfits for the the US Olympic team. Why? Because the Beijing Olympics start tomorrow at 8:08 on 8/8/08 (isn't that cute?). In commemoration of this 18 times in an average lifetime event, I present the official Bros Win Forever Olympic Preview in Fun List Form.
1) The main stadium will look this. Who says a communist regime can't be creative?
2) Here are your Olympic mascots. Upon first glance I thought that the Pokemon designers had gotten lazy, but then I remembered the games were in China.
3) A lot of people have been discussing the human rights problems in China, but what really concerns me is their weather control program. Come World War III, we are screwed. Missiles are futile against hurricanes. I think.
4) Fortunately to combat weather, we here in America have mastered time. NBC is planning to have 3600 hours of coverage, which according to my calculations is 8.8 hours of programming for every hour of the Olympics. China's attempts to send hurricanes at us will be futile when we send them 400 years into the past.
5) One of the US team's biggest stars is Michael Phelps. To celebrate his quadriannual celebrity status, he has grow a fu manchu mustache. U-S-A!
6) 2008 marks the last time that baseball and softball will be Olympic sports. In 2012, they will join past favorites such as tug of war, croquet, and motor boating.
7) Traditionally in the opening ceremony the delegations from every country march in alphabetical order, but not in Beijing. Tomorrow night, the teams will enter the stadium in order of character stroke count, meaning that Australia and Zambia will be the 203rd and 204th teams to enter.
8) The US Men's basketball team has been deemed the "Redeem Team", since they sucked in 2004. In 2000, though, Vince Carter jumped over some French guy.
9) My predictions for Men's K-1 1000m Flatwater Kayaking:
G: Eirik Veraas-Larsen, Norway
S: Tim Brabants, Great Britain
B: Adam van Koeverden, Canada
Tune in on 8/22 to see if I'm right.
10) As Americans, we're supposed to be concerned that China could possibly accumulate as many medals as us. I'm more concerned with Macedonia. With just one bronze medal in their entire Olympic history, I think it's safe to say that they're due.
Got the Olympic spirit yet? Eric Moussambani does.

Baby Review
8.9/10
Fuck those big red cardboard blox, this kid uses brix. :
He doesn't even give a care. Even when he's being held by satan. :
Other kid in the picture, 3.2/10. Way to young to be this strung out. The only reasons his score is as high as it is are due to his fingerless gloves and ho-beatin' cane. : 
From The Cobra Snake - good hipster jackin' material.
And I didn't realize until just now... but I think I want Baby Reviews to be a regular Brog feature.
I'm seeing Pineapple Express in an hour. Maybe I'll do a legit review of it. I can't wait to see how it is. If (read: when) I review it on here, it will have to be after a post by someone else. I can't have three posts in a row. So someone... do something.
Xoxo
PS: You guys. This song IS going to be our new anthem:

Mixy Matchy Fashion Posty
IS what you think this person said about his or style actually what he or she said about his or her style? Afterthought: We need a new pronoun for s/he. (From Just Glitter Lust)
1) The woman in a burlap sac
2) Girl I can imagine Jilling off to Disney porn.
3) This guy looks totally unique.
4) Swemo kid (Swedish emo, get it!?)
5) Why are you crossing your legs? Gotta pee or something? Fucking Euro-trash. Always gotta pee or something.
6) J-Po spends a few years in Europe.
7) This one is actually pretty hot.
A) "My style is very chill yet crazy. Dreams are a great source for ideas – I see myself in outfits that work and I want to try them in real life too."
B) "I get so many ideas while talking to interesting personas and when I watch some classic films. I like Russian films, especially Andrei Tarkovski’s creations. I’m also affected by naivist artists. Central aspect in my style is absurd."
C) I just wanted to include this girl because she looks like Lindsey.
D) "Most of my clothes are tailored, because then I know they will fit perfectly. My mother buys all these different Vogues and I like to browse them for ideas. ... Today I'm wearing smart clothes, because I went to theatre."
E) "...today I listened Justice so I ended up in this."
F) "I have my own definite style and therefore I rarely look others for inspiration. Then again, if you see something new and hip on a beautiful person, you’ll start to like it more and want it too."
G) "My current style inspiration is Madonna..."
The answers.... in the comments section.

Power poppin' summer...
I guess this is pimping my own blog, which is staring you in face if you ever wanted to visit it, but I just posted Mediafire links for a 16-song power pop mix CD that has made my summer infinitely better. Will it do the same for you? I don't know, but I had like a half hour's worth of problems uploading so you should take advantage of my computer issues. Also, Greg & I played the Battery Maritime Building on Friday. You can hear it here.

An unfortunate model of a potentially analogous life: the Dagwood and Blondie Timeline
1930: Dagwood Bumstead and Blondie Boopadoop meet. She's a hot young flapper and he's the young heir to the fortune his stuffy parents made at Bumstead Locomotive Works.
1930 - 1933: She spends her youth wildly in the dance halls. He, the bumbling buffoon who has no business going after such a hottie, goes on a hunger strike for 28 days to win her love. She's a "flighty gold-digger" who decides to give him a shot.
1933: They get married. According to the site: "the young couple moved to a modest house in the suburbs, where they struggled over bills, bought furniture, met neighbors and fought and made up just like millions of couples everywhere."
1934: The young Bumstead family have a bouncing baby boy, Alexander. Dagwood, disowned by his family for marrying under his class, gets a 9 to 5 working for J.C. Dithers.
1941: Another baby. This one is named Cookie. (Cookie!?). Well, that's what you get for only offering $100 to the readers in a nationwide contest.
1941 - 1990: Fuckin' nothing.
1990: Blondie opens a catering business. Feminists everywhere realize their cause is finished.
1990 - Present: Fuckin' nothing.
That's our life. The only potential difference is that they've had a successful marriage for almost 70 years. Half of us (who are lucky enough to get married) will probably (statistically) get divorced, not to mention die before our 70th anniversaries. Makes the Bumsteads look pretty good, eh?
Fun Blondie fact: there were 28 theatrical films made. The "titular" Penny Singleton played the title role (and is a total fox, I might add).
Have a good life, guys.

it's raining for the first time this summer
The other day I was biking along the bay and two fawns (little spotted ones!) jumped up beside me. They tried to run away-- one ran behind me (the smart one) while the other ran ahead, in the same direction I was cycling. I caught up pretty quickly, the fawn and I were head to head. I turned to look at him and yelled, "IT'S A RACE!" He skidded to a stop, and jumped back into the brush.
My roommates decorated the whole apartment for my birthday, lining the entire room with a thirty of bud light (classy). My favorite part:
