Revisions, additions, and more...
Back from a little blogging respite and much to report...
First of all, there are plenty of new pics to be seen! Got down to business and did a hell of a lot of HTML-ing to produce these new photo pages...
A FEUDIN' BIRTHDAY PARTY - Photos from the birthday my roomie Scott and I threw for ourselves last January
AMERICAN IDOL TOP 24 PARTY - Some pics my friends and I took when we attended the Top 24 "Idol" party back in February
VEGAS 2006 - Pictures from a trip to Vegas that Tim, Brandon, Scott, Phillip, and I took last weekend
RANDOM PICS 2006 - I added a bunch of pics to this section including pics with several guests who've dropped by the "Reality Remix" set in the past few months
And now...some musings I've been keeping bottled up for the past few weeks...
VEGAS - As mentioned, Tim, Brandon, Scott, Phillip, and I went to Vegas last weekend to check out "The Price is Right - Live!" As always, Todd Newton and Randy West did a marvelous job. It's so great to see the show finally in Vegas. It was also great to see some of the old gang there from the previous runs of the show.
Scott rented a Toyota Prius to see how well the mileage really was on the car. Well, we used 3/4 of a tank on the way there...not too shabby!
Oh, we're in love with the Wynn buffet...Thanks to a generous gambler with a comp card he wanted to pawn off on us, we got to eat there for a slightly discounted price. Mmm...bananas foster gelato...mmmm....
And I've realized that blackjack is my game. Thanks to it, I came out even for the trip. Woo-hoo!
PANTS OFF DANCE OFF - At first, I thought this show was a joke...and well, it's for real. It's not quite the insomnia-inducer as the late-night airings of "Yo Momma" were, but it's definitely a remote stopper...
NEW YORK, NEW YORK - Heading to New York next weekend to be there with "Reality Remix" as they cover the "Survivor" finale. Quite excited especially since I'll have some time to catch up with a few old and new friends while I'm there...
NINTENDO WII - So, the new Nintendo gaming machine is going to be called Wii. That's pronounced "wee" as in "we don't understand why Nintendo would pick such a weird...or should I say wiird-ass name." Wii??? Honestly, now...Curious to see what E3 reveals about the system. I'm especially curious to see how those new controllers are in action. In the end, it's all about game lineup. C'mon, Nintendo...let's have a must-have game for this one...And Mario Party does NOT count...as fun as the title is, it really wasn't one that made you say, "I must have a Nintendo Gamecube." The intriguing thing about Revolut...I mean, Wii, is access to the past NES and SUPER NES library...
AMAZING RACE 9 - Last week's episode...yipes...The past few weeks, I've been able to watch the show with B.J. at his viewing gatherings. I even got a chance to meet Tyler at one of them. I'll say it again, I'm proud of those guys. Final four? Quite an achievement. And to think, just seven years ago, B.J. was less scruffy and taking over the reins of the game show I hosted for Harvard TV.
And in those weird coincidences, at the last party, I got to meet one of B.J.'s friends, Hunter, who just happens to be one of the "rich kids" from The WB's recently finished "Survival of the Richest." Again, worlds colliding...worlds colliding!!!
GAMESHOW MARATHON - The dates are set! Gameshow Marathon is premiering on CBS, Wednesday, May 31st. The show airs June 1st, 7th, 8th, 15th, 22th, and 29th. This seven-part series features six celebrities competing in a sort of game show Olympics. The celebs include Tim Meadows (from "SNL), Leslie Nielsen (from "The Naked Gun"), N-Sync's Lance Bass, and Kathy Najimy ("Sister Act").
Each night is a different classic game show done in the classic style complete with replicas of the original sets!
The shows are "The Price is Right," "Let's Make a Deal," "Beat the Clock," "Press Your Luck," "Card Sharks," "Match Game," and "Family Feud."
I did a little bit of side work consulting on the "Press Your Luck" episode and all I'll say again is that you "Press Your Luck" fans won't be disappointed!
MYSPACE V. FRIENDSTER - It finally happened...the number of friends on my Myspace friends list has finally surpassed my Friendster list.
FALL MUSIC - Looks like fall's when the CDs to look out for are dropping. Two of my favorite artists will have new music to unleash to the world: Scissor Sisters and Bleu. Hopefully it will make up for last year's so-so crop of new albums.
STAR WARS DVDs - Ok, it means putting more money into George Lucas's wallet, but still...YAY for the original movies coming out on DVD this fall!

Hi Mandel,
The Wynn's buffet is AWESOME O-O! It's definitely THE best hotel buffet in Vegas! The 1-2 hour WAIT to get in is definitely worth it!
