So You Think You Can Dance Canada

So I haven’t written anything for a long time, but I just started watching So You Think You Can Dance Canada which started right after the American version ended.  This animation was probably the best part of the episode.  Now presenting Marcel Martinik, Agent Four 007!

Also, here’s the video clip of his performance!

The Observer at the MLB All-Star Game

If you were watching the MLB All-Star game, in the bottom of the 6th inning you might have seen some strange bald guy (The Observer) sitting in the stands.  Apparently this is some odd marketing technique for FOX’s show Fringe.  I just happen to watch Fringe, but how is someone supposed to know who he is if they just show him looking around?

2009 NBA Draft

So the Knicks and Nets were both back in the NBA Draft lottery and will be picking 8th and 11th respectively this year (“What else is new” in a My Cousin Vinny voice).  I’m hoping the Knicks get someone decent because let’s face it, the team stinks.  My guess is they’ll try to pick up a guard because in D’antoni’s offense, they need people that can shoot the ball.  Unless Thabeet magically falls down to them, I think Stephen “Chucker” Curry is the pick (you know, the guy that took 14 3s in a loss to Maryland in the 2007 NCAA Tournament).  If he’s not there, then they should pick Tyreke Evans.  I would have said Greivis Vasquez, but he decided to go back to Maryland for another year.

As for the Nets, I think they need a meaty-type guy.  Someone that is twice as thick as Yi Jianlian would do, and that person is DeJuan Blair.  It’s a little bit of a reach, but there’s nobody except Blake Griffin that can rebound the ball as good as Blair.  If they pick him, they can shift Yi to the SF spot and Harris/Carter/Yi/Blair/Lopez can be their starting 5.

Anyway, here’s my mock draft of the lottery teams since everyone’s doing one of these.

  1. Los Angeles Clippers – Blake Griffin
  2. Memphis Grizzlies – Hasheem Thabeet
  3. Oklahoma City Thunder – James Harden
  4. Sacramento Kings – Ricky Rubio
  5. Minnesota Timberwolves (from Washington) – Tyreke Evans
  6. Minnesota Timberwolves – DeMar DeRozan
  7. Golden State Warriors – Jrue Holiday
  8. New York Knicks – Stephen Curry
  9. Toronto Raptors – Jonny Flynn
  10. Milwaukee Bucks – James Johnson
  11. New Jersey Nets – DeJuan Blair
  12. Charlotte Bobcats – Ty Lawson
  13. Indiana Pacers – Brandon Jennings
  14. Phoenix Suns – Jordan Hill

American Idol Blooper

Just saw this on American Idol.  Take a look at this clip.

The Office is Back

It’s been a while since I’ve put down a blog post, but I finally had a decent tournament bracket placing 2nd in my office pool (which doesn’t mean much when on the winner gets the pot, but it was a great run).  Speaking about offices, after a couple weeks of sub-par episodes, The Office is back with two very strong episodes surrounding a disappointing premiere of Parks and Recreation.  I’m going to keep this short, but take a quick look at the clip below.
