Well, haven't really been on here in awhile, eh? Just a little bored at the moment. It's summer. I'm swimming, shocker? Yeah. Anyhoo, I've just been chilling and hanging. Same old, same old.
Movies:
Movie Reccomendation of the week: Toy Story 3.
Definite must see. Forget Eclipse, forget Adam Sandler, forget Jona--wait, no don't forget to check out Cyrus. http://www.notmileycyrus.com/
Internet:
So, I was checking in on the tweetsosphere ( http://www.twitter.com/sleevey12 ) and I was looking at all the celebs who have twitters and you know there was Kim Kardashian, Ashton Kutcher, Pee Wee Herman. And one that really shocked me was: Teller, from Penn & Teller. You know, the guy that NEVER talks. yeah, well, wouldn't a twitter be kind of irrelevant for him? I don't check it out for yerself. Also, if you have an extra hour or two to waste, check out Cleverbot. It's a little strange but fun. I've stumped it multiple times. I guess I'm just more clever. Shows that machines will never stop me. So take that!
Sports:
YAY! World Cup, Germany is being awesome. Thanks to Paul the Octopus! Never heard of him? He's a wise English octopod that predicts soccer matches. He's rooting for Germany. Wimbledon was won by the tennis star Rafa Nadal. Baseball is baseball (Go Brewers and Phillies!) and the new kid on the Nats is pretty darn good, and golf is well, golf.
Music:
Oh little sweet Disney pop princess has officially hit rock bottom, with her new cd that just came out Miley Cyrus has just left me disappointed. I had pretty much finished with her when she started dating that underwear model guy, what was his name? Oh yeah, Justin Gaston or something like that. Odd. Anyways, she came out with that "Party in the USA" song that wouldn't get out of anyone's heads for weeks on end. Seriously. How annoying can someone screeching about Jay-z and Britney and her hips going "yeah" be? How can hips go "yeah"? I know that they can't lie, but man...the music industry sure has some screwed up ideas of hips. Apparently, they can talk. I mean, Shakira, Miley, and that 3OH!3 group say it all. I say, forget them and listen to some real music. Now, normally I'm not a fan of mainstream music but there are a couple catchy tunes out now. Lady Gaga has that confusing "Alejandro" song but just make sure you don't say her name. Roberto, Fernando, that means you. Vampire Weekend has "Jonathon Low" which is not their best song, but hey, it was from/for the Eclipse soundtrack. Justin Bieber or Justin Beaver, as I like to call him, has that "Somebody to Love" song out and I must admit he almost sounds like a boy now. However that song is a little bit too catchy. Hear it once and you'll be stuck with it for the rest of the day, which is fortunate for the Bieb since people will remember that little song and buy it. Lucky boy. Katy Perry has been topping the charts with the old-ish song from a few months ago "California Gurls". It's a little slow and not as much fun as her other songs, but it's alright.
World:
Oil spill is still another worry line on people's foreheads, especially the liberals. Hawaii has been having wild fires and they are blaming it on fireworks, yeah right. Some dude built this little "primitive" nuclear reactor. However I don't think any type of nuclear reactor can be primitive. Obama is pushing to let Latinos have a say in the votes.
Odd News:
OH! And in Germany, I just found out that it is a law there that you absolutely have to name your child a name that you will be able to tell what gender it is just from the name! I like that law. No more boys named Ashley and no more girls name Phil. All is right with the world, in the naming sense.
In New Zealand, you aren't allowed to name your child anything offensive. Here are some examples: Stallion, Yeah Detroit, Fish and Chips, Twisty Poi, Keenan Got Lucy, Sex Fruit, Satan and Adolf Hitler
Truthfully, my favorite is the Sex Fruit one. I just wonder what was going the parents mind when they decide that was an acceptable name to give their child for the rest of their life. I can just see it now, "Hey Sex Fruit! Go clean your room!" I got a good laugh out of that name. However here are some of the accepted names: Benson and Hedges (for a set of twins), Midnight Chardonnay, Number 16 Bus Shelter and Violence. Okay, Midnight Chardonnay is a little strange, but Number 16 Bus Shelter? These people really want to remember stuff don't they?
But, the strangest name that takes the cake is a rejected name from Sweden and here it is: "Brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb111163". You read that right. The thing is it's pronounced "Albin". It reminds me of that Betty White sketch from SNL.
Census taker: What's your name?
Man: Brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb111163
Census taker: How do you spell that?
Man: A-L-B-I-N.
Census taker: Uh huh, so your name is Brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb111163 but it's spelled Albin?
Anyways, this is Sleeve signing off. Have a good night.
