MSNBC's Keith Olbermann comments on the passage of California's Proposition 8:

NBC: We Can't Cover Everything

Interesting article on NBC's lack of coverage of openly gay Australian diver Matthew Mitcham's victory in last week's Olympic Games.

ATWT Gets Cheesy

Ok, I think it's cheesy to begin with and only watch for the Luke and Noah storyline.

That being said, does anyone else think the whole "Sam" thing is a bit much? Come on!

Funny Videos

I saw these video clips posted on Closet NS yesterday. They appear to be clips from an MTV show. Like Matt, I could not help but laugh. Watch both parts:





I mean, come on? Who comes out and has two guys after him that fast. In the end of course he makes the right choice

ATWT Update

So I was watching ATWT today and it looks like "Nuke" has hit a snag...namely that Luke is bitter, depressed and lashing out.

Also, via IJJ, a new source for clips is here.

The Winner is...

First off, thanks to those who voted in my weatherman survey. It appears my weatherman won. A couple of you brought up some things:

-Yes, he's WAY TOO TAN

-He is 26, although he does look about 12

Another blurb about him is here...thanks to Steve and Warren for the link.

Moving on...

I will be making some additions to the blogroll in the next day or so. Please check them out.

I appreciate all the emails and comments from new and returning readers, and have been fortunate to interact with many out there on AIM as well. Keep it coming, folks.

You'll notice the frequency of posts here may begin to slow a tad now...from the frenetic pace of a new blog to a more regular rhythm.

Is My Weatherman Hotter Than Your Weatherman?

The other night I was on Facebook and noticed that a girl I know had joined “Absolut Sven” a fan group dedicated to a Minnesota TV personality. I decided I had to give her some major grief.

Why? Because as anyone who lives within the viewing area probably knows, Sven is the weekend weatherman for the Minneapolis NBC station. He has a good on-air persona, is a local boy, educated in our state university system and seems generally good at his job. He’s also young, athletic, and not bad looking—albeit about four feet tall and fake-baked beyond need, not unlike said station’s former anchor. Women love him, and they play up his sex appeal…including showing shirtless photographs of him running marathons during newscasts. One problem for the ladies, though--although it has never been expressly said , he likes gentlemen.

So, when I saw that this gal, the same one who had accused me and Apple Guy of “dating” apparently had the hots for this guy, I knew it was time to give her a little crap in return.

Upon looking around Facebook I discovered there were lots of groups dedicated to this guy. He’s being called everything from a “Weather God” to a “hobbit” and there’s even a group of people who claim he ran away from them at a local gay bar—apparently he enjoys hooking up with guys from the bar, but he must be a player with high standards.

Anyway, I think it is another funny example of women swooning over unattainable (GAY) men.

By the way, he blogs and there are plenty of pictures.

Survey: is my weatherman hotter than your weatherman?

ATWT

Yes, I admit it. I have been following the "Nuke" story with some regularity on the CBS soap "As the World Turns." Normally I HATE soaps but as I have been home the last few months looking for a job, the story has caught my attention.

See clips of the story so far on YouTube-sdc100.

Next week's preview shows Col. Mayer shooting someone and Luke in the hospital..."Why can't I feel my legs?!" Honestly, if they decide to paralyze the character, I would find that depressing and unnecessary.
