I don’t know what it is, but I hate the sound of broadcast sports. Whether on radio or television, I find that sound terribly annoying. You all know what I’m talking about. The ancient announcers in their orange made-up faces and tacky suits who talk incessantly about uninteresting drivel while waiting for the next big play to occur so they can whoop and holler and tell you some spectacular trivia morsel they’ve been saving for just the right moment.

These days, the networks place digital and animated “bugs” or “buttons” or whatever they’re called at the bottom of the screen to let you know about the program coming up next or to advertise for the sponsors or whatever. These buttons make some horrible noise as well - a swoosh, or an explosion, or a beepity beep beep.

There’s also the sound of the fans at the particular sports event being broadcast. All in all it’s a horrible cacophony of sounds that I am now daily subjected to since Brad has moved in.

But the worst part of it all is the sports fan watching/listening to the event. I swear that if I’m not home (or if he has forgotten that I’m home, or if he has forgotten about my existence altogether,) Brad would be sitting in front of the tv silently watching the game. But as soon as he notices I am within earshot, he has to stand up and clap, or shout out praise/admonishment to the players/coach, or mumble encouragement, “come on, come ON! You can DO IT!!! COME ON!!!” or “What are you DOING?!!” or the like. (FYI, Brad, they can’t hear you!)

What I don’t understand is he KNOWS I hate the sound of sports and sportscasters… what makes him think I want to be even more alerted to it going on? Each time he puts on sports (every afternoon) I sequester myself in the other room with either an ipod in my ears or the itunes on the computer blasting as loud as possible.

Is he trying to let me know that, even though he is aware of my hatred of the sports noise, he is enjoying his viewing experience and he is thankful that I’m allowing it to audibly invade our living space? Does he think that by being loud and boisterous that maybe his actions will encourage me to get loud and boisterous too? Does he think it will inspire me to watch the sports noise with him? Does he think that by hearing loud clapping and woo-HOOing that I’ll be momentarily confused about where I am and that maybe I’ll think I’m in a strip club and thereby take off all my clothes?

I don’t know. Anyone have any ideas?

I never thought I would see my boyfriend moshing with Justin Timberlake at his side to an old Nirvana hit but that’s exactly what I witnessed tonight at the grand opening of “SHAG Hollywood” (the old Concord.) It was me, Jannone, Gardner, Dance Party, Brad, Alex Quinn, Jillian, The Olson Twins, Paris & Nikki Hilton, Cameron & Justin and an amazing breakdancer that Dance Party Dana has decided to stalk. Brad thinks he could teach the breakdancer a move or two. It’s too bad they didn’t let me bring my camera in. LAME!! There were so many amazing photo-ready moments!! And as the camera phone has no flash, it was of no help to us. Grrrr. Not only could we not bring in the cameras but we had to pay to check them! I work the Oscars and Emmys every year and we don’t allow cameras either but at least we check them for free!! Stupid capitalists. Thank you Alex for paying my camera check fee, for the drinks and for the AMAZING MOVES ON THE DANCE FLOOR! Damn I wish I had my camera!

I am so psyched to finally move my blog out of Friendster!  Yay!  No more stupid advertisements (of which I haven’t approved) in the middle of my content!

Sorry to my yella fellas but I got hit by an Asian driver today once again confirming the stereotype. He wasn’t a SOTB Asian, thank the lord. He spoke English perfectly well although he bitched about the fact that he had just picked up his Mercedes from the auto body shop after they’d replaced his entire front end. To that I really REALLY wanted to shout, “Then stop fucking plowing into people!!” Dumb shit.

Poor Chloe… she looks so sad. I know this photo makes it seem like nothing, but the damage is pretty extensive. I hope they can fix her. They’ll have to replace half the engine, the bumper, the headlights, the front panel, the hood, the wheel well, the axel, the tire, the hubcap and lots of other stuff that I don’t know what is.

On a lighter note, I’m sick of the Friendster ads in my blog, so I purchased www.knewlove.com yesterday and I’ll let you all know when I have it up and running. Yay!

Today is Michelle’s birthday. We will be partying it up this weekend - Hollywood watch out.
