What exactly does it say about today, and me, that at 7:59, I can't decide between watching Return of the Jedi on Spike or The Bachelorette. Is it really that bad? Then again it could have been the 9 sets of flip flops I saw at Nester's at about 7:45 (I'd put that at about a 80% flip flop rate).

*I ended up watching, via the power of the internets, the pilot episode of Big Wave Daves, a 1993 sitcom.

*But seriously, Nike finally kind of sort of made the Marty McFlys.

*A humiliated Sam Sullivan has turned to prayers and Greek Stoicism to get over his loss. [Vancouver Sun]

*Pringles, it would seem, aren't really potato chips.

*Pretty sure that gas prices or no, the idea of a "staycation" is ridiculous and lame.

*NBC has bought the Weather Channel. Gawker reports, "Imagine the cross-promotional possibilities that will emerge as global warming engulfs both coasts, and their advertiser-coveted demographics, in slow but steady ruin!"

*TV spots for the Smirnoff Cocktail product have been flowing like the Fraser. These are properly mixed cocktails. These are drinks that take the guesswork and FUN out of drinking them. Bravo. [The Spirit World]

*50 Things That are being affected/blamed on rising oil prices. Bacon could be getting more expensive, kind of all you need to know. [Wall Street Journal]

*The theme song from You Only Live Twice is explored, which is nice.

*Matthew McConaughey brings sexy time to beef with a new radio spot for the beef association.
