For some reason I really enjoyed these Photos of TV.

Jeff sent me a link to ManBabies.com, thinking it would be a site I would enjoy. Now why would he think that?

A friend was able to get us some great seats to the Sox-Rays game this past Sunday. Even though they weren't the "good" company seats, they were the best seats I've ever had at Fenway (two rows behind the photographer's well).

Because there was a good chance of rain (which didn't happen) I didn't bring my SLR and just used my point & shoot to get some shots from the game.

It seems like my Ramblings has turned into just a bunch of video clips lately. Oh well, it's what's hitting me lately I guess. Anyway, here's a bit of Tina Fey's monologue from SNL; her old-fashioned movie style cracks me up.

Related to Wakefield's start tonight, here's a bit of Final Jeopardy from this week:

Use ska to teach your kids to clean their room! This song is from the show Yo Gabba Gabba (which I've never seen) and features Alex Desert of Hepcat.

Pretty funny video. The Mo Vaughn and the over-the-top Youkilis impressions are great..

While some friends have made fun of me in the past for my preference for short songs -- I've always thought "If you can't sing it in 3 minutes, don't bother" -- somebody apparently agrees with me. Joshua Allen did a little "research" to determine that 2 minutes and 42 seconds is the ideal song length.

I know it's not a serious piece, but he does bring up one of the best pop songs ever written, one that I continue to enjoy and marvel at the more I hear it: "There She Goes" by The La's:

The song is "There She Goes," and is so flawless that it instantly made everything else the band did pointless. This ditty is two minutes and 42 seconds, and is all about songwriting economy...

The main riff acts as the intro. The verses are the chorus. The solo is 100 percent fat-free and leads right into a tidy bridge. And then we’re back where we started. It's like some ingenious IKEA futon or Japanese love hotel where every component is doing double-duty. When "There She Goes" is over, I guarantee absolutely no one in the room goes: "Jesus, finally."

You already know that Yankee fans are the be-all and end-all when it comes to deciding what's classy in baseball and what's not, right? Well, I'm very pleased to report that Daring Fireball tech blogger and Yankee fan John Gruber has bestowed the "classy" label to Bill Buckner's treatment on Fenway's opening day!

Classiest thing the Red Sox have ever done.

We Sox fans can now bask in warm glow of Gruber's proclamation! Ahhhhhh. This must be what it feels like to be a Yankee fan all the time...

According to a poll of 109 historians, George W. Bush is the worst president ever.
