KROQ

So last night Flora asked if I heard the new Killers single and I said "I don't think it's on KROQ" (the biggest alt-rock station in LA.) But the truth is... I just don't listen to that station anymore! Why? Because they've slowly morphed into the Krappy Redhotchilipeppers Obsessed statiQn (sorry about the poor acronym.)

Seriously though, I know mr. Kiedis loves CA but hearing "caaalifoornia shoooow your teeeeth" or "dream of caaalifooornicaaation" overplayed not only grinds my gears... it grinds my ears!! It's sad to see other alt-rock stations (103.1 and anyone remember Y107?) leave the air, but judging from yelp reviews of KROQ we sorely need an alternative alt-rock station!

(btw, robert downey jr. should be added to the post below.)

gmg: javier bardem vs jeffrey dean morgan

The other night i had a rather heated dinner conversation discussing who was in vicky cristina barcelona...javier bardem or jeffrey dean morgan & wait, who was that guy in gray's anatomy? or iron man for that matter? j-k i know who robert downey jr is.

well after some research here it is....indisputable google image proof that they are either twins / clones / the same person:

can you tell them apart? i didn't think so.

& the gmg part is when i'm like "jeffrey dean morgan is so awesome in vicky cristina barcelona"....only to be corrected by some know-it-all-twin-id-master...uh that's actually javier bardem, didn't you know.

well no i don't know. & that really gmgs.

pikturs

blogs without pictures really gmg. in today's society where our attention span has reached ridiculously short levels (see: twitter), pictures speak a thousand... ok here's a pic.

comment away...

gmg: "experts"

derrick and i were munching on some bay city sandwiches today when he tells me he's awesome at id'ing sandwich meats. i pick up a piece & ask him if its prosciutto. he says of course its prosciutto don't be retarded

it was a piece of tomato.

the remote

every time i watch tv with my girlfriend, the remote magically disappears in the endless folds on her bed. i place the remote on the nightstand, but she places it on the bed. and then i end up suffering through shows on E! (please refer to post below.) That really grinds my gears.

running in heels... seriously?!

So there's a new show on E! called "running in heels". It's about 3 interns at marie claire and somehow it's more retarded than the hills. This show really grinds my gears. The end.

my top GMG moment of 2008

fidelity...merrill...etrade...I don't know why any of these other investment companies didn't pop into my head when I thought 401k rollover. instead I chose trusty old wamu and grasped within 10 seconds how this bank ended up poised at the brink of bankruptcy.

Strike 1: My account rep types with 2 fingers.

Strike 2: then, she incorrectly inputs my zip code and claims that there's no way to edit the info without completely starting over. To quote erin from the city, i smell ahi tuna

Strike 3: She calls me 5 minutes after I leave the bank and apologizes for "spacing out" while she was opening my account.

Strike 4 (see how understanding i am?): She calls me 2 days later and sounds surprised to hear my voice, "oh hmmm..." she says "I meant to call someone else." She hangs up.

!!!!!!!

I now do my banking somewhere else.
