So I’m off to Vegas today. I will be there for the next 10 days. Not just for fun and games either. There will be work involved. Counting cards is work, right?
You know what sucks about this trip? Not much, really. But I can only take so much of Las Vegas. Small doses of it is nice, as in the 2-3 day variety. But 10 days? Wow. You try it. I did it for 1o days a year ago and the lights and sounds of Vegas were nauseating by day 5. Hearing the slot machines go off would give me an instant headache. So trust me when I say I will want to get back as soon as possible.
At least I will be there for the beginning of the basketball playoffs. And now that baseball is in full swing (pun intended), I’ll be placing a couple of bets on the Spurs and Braves. Daddy needs a new pair of Oakleys!
I don’t know how much posting I’ll be able to do while I’m out in the desert. But I’ll do my best to post any interesting happenings.

This gentleman has invented something. Something crazy. Crazy as in awesome! He has rigged a car to run on water.
Can you imagine? If this concept gets some serious consideration? How it will change the world? No more dependency on foreign oil. No more insane gas prices. I only wish somoene would have thought about this sooner. But better late than never.

I got to watch Grindhouse this weekend. Being a fan of Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino, I figured why not. While it’s not the best movie the world has ever seen, it’s definitely not the worst. If you like their other stuff, you should like this. A lot of the same actors from their previous films make appearances in one fashion or another.
If I had a complaint, it’s Rose McGowan. Too bad she was in the film. Not a good actress. And she has that skankiness about her. Like a poor man’s Tara Reid. Who in turn is a poor man’s Lindsey Lohan. Who in another turn is a poor man’s Paris Hilton. Don’t these girls just scream “classy”?
Anyway, back to Grindhouse. Worth the price of admission? I guess. It’s a double feature so be warned that it’s long, and your ass will most likely be hurting after a while. Worth the price on DVD? Sure, if it’s on sale.
If you do get a chance to check it out, pay attention to Zoe Bell. She is a stunt woman out of New Zealand and plays herself in the second film of the double feature. This girl is a bad ass. You’ll see why.

There is a kid’s cartoon out there called “Dora the Explorer”. A slightly more sophisticated cartoon than the cartoons my buddy Rich watches. 
The “Dora” character goes on little adventures and asks questions to the kids watching. Kind of a way to get them involved. Interactive, almost? Anyway, this character reminds me of someone dear to me. You know who you are.
Here is a clip that came out on Saturday Night Live. A little parody on the “Dora the Explorer” cartoon. This one is called “Maraka”. Pretty funny stuff! Keep in mind if you watch this, that a sense of humor is required. So if it’s not funny to you, then guess what you don’t have?

I saw “Blades of Glory” over the weekend. All I can say is, chalk up another one for Will Ferrell. Right now anything he touches turns to gold. Great flick! And the Napolean Dynamite kid did a decent job as well. And for you fans of “The Office”, Pam Beasly also comes out in the film. Bottom line, if you like Will Ferrell, then you are going to love this one.
Watching the previews before “Blades of Glory came on, I came to a realization. I cannot recall a summer where there were so many movies coming out with blockbuster potential! I mean, this could be THE summer for movies. Let’s take notice of a few, shall we?
Spider-Man 3 - Did somebody say “can’t miss hit”?
The Simpsons Movie – I’ve been waiting 20 years for this one.
Ocean’s 13 – They are back in Vegas and hopefully making up for the less than spectacular Ocean’s 12.
Die Hard 4 – John McClane. Yippee-ki-yay, mother%$#&!
Shrek the Third – Should be funny. Not my first choice of course.
Transformers – I will watch it, but I have a gut feeling this one will be a big let down.
Fantastic 4 – Jessica Alba is hot.
Pirates of the Carribean – I liked the first two. Should be a winner.
Rush Hour 3 – Chan and Tucker. Enough said.
The Bourne Ultimatum – Gotta love those spy flicks! Probably will be better than last year’s Bond flick.
Those 10 movies alone. That’s all I want to see this summer. Those and the one with Adam Sandler and Kevin James pretending to be gay firefighters. Why you ask would DQ want to see this film? Two words: Jessica Biel. And I’ll top those two words with these three words: Jessica Biel’s Ass.

Jennifer Aniston and Courtney Cox kissed on the season finale of “Dirt” Tuesday night. What is “Dirt”? Damn good question. I guess it’s a show that one of them is on now. And apparently it’s not doing too hot if they had to bring in the big guns and show a kiss between these two. This had to easily be the most watched episode of “Dirt” ever. But after hearing so much about it, and then finally seeing it, I have to say it sucked. See for yourself.
Seriously? That’s it? That’s what the big deal was? There was nothing sexy about it. I got more of a kick when Jennifer Aniston played grab-ass for a second on Courtney Cox.
So we can easily come to the conclusion based on this episode, that the season finale for “Dirt” was probably in fact the series finale. Because if you can’t make a kiss between Courtney Cox and Jennifer Aniston smoking hot, then you obviously are in the wrong line of work. I mean, how easy is it to make that scene hot? And they blew it? Wow.

I don’t know a whole lot about Jennifer Love Hewitt. Apparently she used to be famous in the 90’s for being on a TV show. Saved By The Bell, maybe? Who knows. It matters not. Because for whatever reason her career took a nose dive, it has thankfully led to this.
It’s not Victoria’s Secret, but it’ll work! So now she is doing add for Hanes underwear. Not too shabby. And after watching the video below, all I can say is, nice rack nose! This definitely has gotten my attention, which is what advertising is all about, right? So the ads and commercials have done their job in that regard.
Where they have failed, however, is in getting me to spend any money. You see, my drawers are already Hanes. The ‘Hanes His Way’ collection, to be exact. I now apologize for the visuals.

The super hot girl with the provocative internet pics got voted off of American Idol last night. I’ve never seen the show except for one episode during the tryout stage and all the YouTube clips my buddy Brian is forcing me to watch. But from what I have seen, there is NO reason why she should have been voted off! I mean, did you see those pictures? ? The girl is smokin’! Antonella is so hot, she makes my hair hurt.
Again, someone is telling me that this is a singing contest. I heard her sing. And I’ve heard worse. Doesn’t her hotness count for anything? Oh well. It’s not like anyone should feel sorry for her. I’m sure she’ll be making the rounds on Maxim and Playboy over the next few months. Meaning we will get to see more of her true talent.
