Did anyone else see Ben-No in a Sprint Commercial last night?

Or, was it just a figment of my McSorley's-infused delirium?

A happy, hearty Friday to everyone. I hope your weekend rest, should it come, is well deserved. Some points of interest:

- WIMR makes it's return for a second season! We've got a new theme song, Bobo's getting a new computer, and it's the same old jamokes talking about the same old crap. Send in your requests, listeners.

- Frants is famous. That's right, America's next Ryan Seacrest (in more ways than one) is the host of the search for the Next Maytag Repairman. Head over to their website, and be sure to click on "Auditions". From there, watch the videos for the casting calls... and see our Frants take you on an entertaining adventure. Also, if you've got a hankerin' to look behind the scenes and see Frants trip, check out his photos. Some great HDR shots, as well as some lovely snaps of our left coast pals...

- I'm still enjoying the new camera, and I've got some nice nighttime and HDR shots on my flickr page.

So, enjoy this Friday. If you're bored, I know a radio show and a mixtape you could listen to to kill time...

Playball., originally uploaded by Kluv32.

Happy Spring Training, my baseball-loving friends. I'm sure some of you are following the "Yes, it's true, I don't sleep over Derek's house five nights a week anymore and I'm okay with it" drama from the Janquis... and I'm sure some of you are tingling with excitement over the fact that our boy "Andrew" Daisuke (that's a Matty gem) knows how to knock one back. Hell, maybe there's one of you out there who actually cares about another team.

Either way, it's good to have baseball back.

And, as a celebration -- Matty and I have decided to put out the first of our tag-team Pen Pal mixes online for you to enjoy. Entitled "Songs You Are About To Love", it's a rollicking back-and-forth mix that we created last year. So, head on over to ShuffleThis.com and give 'er a download -- just don't forget to read the liner notes. They're half the fun (and half the battle).

Now, if you excuse me, I'm off to go play with my new toy. It is so choice. If you have the means, I highly recommend you pick one up for yourself.

Hotness, originally uploaded by Frants.

Happy belated Valentine's, all. I meant to post these morsels of goodness on the day itself, but the workaday drudgery and massive amounts of ice-and-snow-in-face lowered my constitution. So, you're getting the two-days-later job from me.

First up would be the SpaHa Semi-Formal from this year. A good time was most definitely had by all, and luckily for us there was no blizzard this year. Between the Ham, Pudding, Caviar & Premium/Ultra Vodkas -- we partied-down right. So, kudos to Frants for hosting yet another success, and for not passing out at 10:30pm. If you'd like to check out pics from the night, you can enjoy Frants' Photos Here, and also My Photos Here. Good times.

Speaking of Good Times, rumor has it that the Second Season of WIMR (IthacaMafia Radio) will be starting very soon. Keep an eye out for the first new episode of the year... And, there are a number of mixtapes in the works for ShuffleThis.com, too -- so get them iPods prepped.

If you haven't been to the board in a while, now's a good time to go -- Duck has put up a great "Top Five" thread about your top five toys as a kid. It's gotten my old gears a-workin' on long-past memories. Join in the fun, why don't'cha?

Stay warm or stay cool, it's up to you. And a happy birthday (tomorrow) to everyone's favorite no-neck, The Dingess Scary. He's old.

Now THAT's A Baby., originally uploaded by Kluv32.

On this post-super-Sunday-Monday, I wanted to give all a'yall a little taste of Meg's recent BabyShower/Birthday Shindig. It was fun for all, but the best part of the afternoon was when we found out that Lizzie and Gar aren't just having one baby, but as you can see from this picture, another magical baby that Gareth is carrying and has fashioned entirely out of beer. It truly is a miracle.

I also wanted to give a whoop whoop whoop to Ben-No on his wookie day of life, today. I trust somewhere he's frolicking around in some short jean shorts and a long-sleeved Breeders t-shirt. At least, that's what I see when I close my eyes. Yum.

Other than that, I hope you are all keeping warm warm warm in this frigid weather.

And don't forget your booties 'cause it's cooooold out there today.

It's coooold out there every day. What is this, Miami Beach?

Not hardly.
