Three random things

Seriously, these are pretty random. I put some hardcore brain power into how these might relate and only ended up with a headache and new wrinkle in my forehead. Let's just dive right in…

#1. Last night I had the tremendous pleasure of going to see the national tour of Avenue Q. For those not familiar with this multi-award winning Broadway show the easiest way to describe it is Sesame Street meets South Park. Or how about full frontal puppet nudity. Oh yes, they go there and you're glad they do. And did I mention it's a musical? Get a sampling of what you're missing by not going to see it the next time you're in New York, or London, or near any of the cities of the current tour, by checking out their official website or by listening to the songs of the show on iTunes. With the stresses of work and home weighing heavily day after day, it was really nice to get out and just have a really fun evening. My divine date for the evening was Hooters of Bettyfest fame. She didn't really know what to expect when the show started but after the first couple songs she was hooked. A Friday night watching puppets get-it-on on stage = good times.

#2. I feel ever so slightly ashamed to admit that after hunting far and wide for a Wii, that in reality I'm barely using it. I think the roommates have clocked 20x the hours on it that I have. (I just wish they'd remember to turn it off after a half-baked session of tennis.) But at the not so recent E3 conference a new accessory was announced that has once again reignited my interest in playing with my Wii. The Wii-Fit will be hitting store shelves in the coming months with the promise of helping people do even weirder body movements in front of their TVs. Check out the official video now:



Now I know what you're thinking, "What that video needs is a narrator." And you'd be right. Check out below what someone out there on the interwebs came up with to solve this problem.



Brilliant! Say it with me…good times.


#3. This last one, well, I'm not sure what to say. Part of me thinks it's a hoax. But the other part of me—the nerd part—thinks it's fucking awesome. Kathy Griffin—whom I find hysterically funny—is rumored to be dating the one of the biggest geek icons of all time Steve "Woz" Wozniak. My jaw hit the floor when I stumbled across this on Gizmodo. And since you can't believe everything you read on the 'net, I went to one of those Apple fanboy-type sites for confirmation. I can only hope that he'll be on the next season of her show. That would be some seriously good ti–er, good television.
