Last month, I posted photos of my friends Mark and Leslie's triumphant R2-D2 cake, and I am happy to report that in the time since, the tasty dessert has become an Internet sensation. The story has been picked up by the Los Angeles Times as well as various news and radio outlets in Arizona, Boston, New Zealand, and Norway; not to mention such websites as Great White Snark, Fark, StumbleUpon, Slashfood, and, I'm happy to report, the official Star Wars blog at starwars.com. (ooooh)
Now, I'm not writing this just to toot my own horn (although, I rarely pass up an opportunity to do just that). No, I'm writing because I want to thank Mark and Leslie for giving my site such a huge traffic boost, and furthermore, since the whole point of the original post was to give their new bakery exposure, I'm super excited to say that as of yesterday, their cake has been viewed (on my site alone) by over 100,000 different people and counting! If you're in the NY area, be sure to check them out and tell them I sent you. Here's the link:
In less than two weeks, the tenth season of Big Brother will premiere on CBS, and I can't tell you how excited I am. Sure, we just finished season nine a scant eight weeks ago, but Big Brother is a drug like none other, and I don't care if I have to wait two months or two minutes for a new season. I want it NOW.
Of course, there were a lot of people who didn't love last season (unlike the vast majority, I enjoyed Til Death Do You Part quite a bit), but hopefully, plenty of viewers will return this summer and keep this most beloved of guilty pleasures alive and well. If you don't watch Big Brother, it's never too late to start. Why not give it a try this summer? As I like to say, it's not just a show. It's an experience. But be warned: without fail, the first three episodes are always exceedingly bland and boring to newbies. However, after three episodes, Big Brother will most certainly sink its claws into you and never let you go. That's a good thing.
So here's the good news. While the July 12th 13th premiere date is still a few days off, CBS will be revealing the new cast this Wednesday (according to Jokers Updates, which may or may not be wrong). I'll be sure to have a complete analysis right here at bsideblog.com, and of course, there will be photocaps of every show throughout the season. Tell all your friends!

Apparently I've been nominated for four Blogger's Choice Awards! A very kind person (Pearlblackdragon) put my site up for them, and I'm incredibly grateful. It's an honor JUST to be nominated.
Screw that. I want to win this mo-fo. If you have a heart (whatever that is), you'll vote for me in the following categories. Now, there's a lot of work to do, and a lot of recruiting too. The leading blogs have around 200 votes each, and mine has about, you know, FOUR. So as you can see, I gotta play catchup. MOBILIZE, DEAR PEOPLE. Oh, and one more thing: thanks!
Yes We Can!

Sorry for the lack of blog posts yesterday. I'm in Chicago for the weekend, and I haven't had time to blog. The good news though is that I should have a FLOG on Monday. (Not to mention a few random photos of deep dish pizza and Dave Matthews -- not together though.) Stay tuned...
Well, Big Brother is wrapping up this week, Gossip Girl is coming back, there's a Real Housewives of New York City reunion, American Idol heads into the home stretch, and The Hills... well, it's new. And what am I doing? I'M GOING OUT OF TOWN. Yes, on Thursday, I begin an international odyssey that will take me to Prague and Vienna. I'm incredibly excited for it, and I plan to blog about all things Eastern European in the coming days, but in the meantime, my posting schedule will be all screwed up. I'm already behind on my Big Brother photocaps, and I can guarantee that the Hills recap will be going up late this week as well. Rest assured though that these posts will go up -- just a tad behind schedule. Of course, once I'm abroad, things will get very tricky, but hopefully, I'll be able to check out all necessary TV on the internets (we'll see). Failing that, I'll just write something about beer or schnitzel. Oh, and there most certainly will be a flight blog. How could I resist the international flog?
Thanks in advance for your patience...
It's been a while since I've given an update on the ol' site, but since today is the three month anniversary of bsideblog.com, I thought I'd take a moment to let you know about things that are going on around here and all that fun stuff.
First, as many of you may have noticed, my non-compete with TVgasm has expired, which means I can write about TV again. This is very exciting for me because as much as I'd like to put on intellectual airs and whatnot, the truth is that I live and breath television. I've recently tried to inject more highbrow activities into my life (ie. reading my friend's old issues of The Economist), but as long as there's Big Brother, I'll be a glutton for all the down-market crap the networks can give me.
Huh?
I'm in the process of switching over from thisblogismine.com to bsideblog.com, and as some of you may have noticed, it hasn't been as smooth a transition as once expected. There's been widespread reporting of images gone awry, and for some, the site merely loads up a generic page from GoDaddy.com. I assure you I'm on top of these issues (read: panicked, sweating). I'll have the kinks ironed out over the course of the next day, and hopefully this bit of cyber-turbulence will pass without incident. In the meantime, the captain asks that you return to your seats, fasten your seatbelts, and refrain from moving about the cabin.
Some people have been having issues writing comments, but I think I've got it all sorted out. Now, if you have a Typekey account, you can use that to leave comments. If you don't have that and don't want to sign up for it, no problem! You can leave a comment anonymously! Just click on the "comment anonymously" option, write what you have to say, enter in the Captcha password (the little word scramble), and voila — you've written a comment! IT'S THAT EASY.
