I love vending machines. If I weren't so anti-flying, I'd go straight to Japan to see these machines for myself.

I figured out who the voices from "The End of the World" sound like... Group X. The white boys from an Atlanta suburb who perform as middle eastern rappers. Yeah, it's weird. They threw cheese sandwiches into the audience when I saw them on campus... anyway. You can hear their work in Mario Twins (I don't think they had anything to do with the animation).

"WTF, mate?" Funny flash illustration of the end of the world. Seems like I've heard that voice before, can anyone place it? Funny, funny.

I don't care if it rains or freezes, long as I've got my plastic Jesus riding on the dashboard of my car.

By the way, Iron Chef America with Alton Brown was good. Alton didn't lose any respect from me, but I still probably won't watch Iron Chef unless there's nothing else on.

And while I'm reviewing entertainment items, let me just say that I loved 13 Going on 30. Jennifer Garner came off pretty lame in her MTV diary, so I was prepared to be annoyed by her, but I absolutely loved her character in the movie. And the love interest? He's got that nerdy-hot thing going that we all know I fall for every time.

But don't expect much from the movie, it's just a romantic comedy, after all. If you prepare yourself by thinking it's going to suck, you'll be fine.

If you're a Jump, Little Children fan, but not a big Jump, Little Children fan, you may not know that they have a new album out. Although Jump and I are estranged right now, I still might pick up a copy, as I like a few of the new songs.

I realize now that I should've gone to the last Atlanta concert. For old times sake. Oh well.
