hooray for meatwad
According to this guy on the TVOP forums, Arrested Development has been picked up by Showtime but Mitch Hurwitz hasn't yet decided whether he wants to continue.

What a bizarre show. As offbeat and funky as a pregnant wad of meat. A clip of Wonder Showzmen.
Ahh, that brings me back. Two pieces of dialogue from the pregnant meatwad
Aqua Teen episode:
Frylock: Well guess what? Meatwad's pregnant.
Meatwad: True that.
Frylock: Meatwad you can't possibly be pregnant!
Meatwad: Ye of little faith! How do you know that?
Frylock: First off, you're a ma...
(stares at Meatwad while Meatwad's smiling)
Frylock: Well you're kind of a...
I don't know, you're a male!
Meatwad: I am?! Awesome, that is so cool! I always wanted a gender!
Meatwad: Oh... boy, I apologize. My hormones are goin' nuts. Now, please... if you would... get the f*** outta my way. I mean, how many times I gotta f***in' write "ice cream" on this f***in' list before someone gets in f***in' gear, and brings home the f***in' ice cream? Maybe I should get a steak knife, and etch it in your muthaf***in' forehead! How hard can it f***in' be? Ice muthaf***in' cream! I guess that's the price I pay for livin' with two f***in' morons!
In Chicago and have no idea where to park? Go here to find the best priced garage.

Ehhh, fabio
(graphic stolen from www.action-squad.com. they're good shit so go read it.)
The 2006 lollapalooza lineup has been announced. Among those performing: Feist, Gnarls Barkely, The Shins, Manu Chao, Common, Matisyahu, BSS, The Editors, The Stars, Calexico, The Frames, Mates of State, and Of Montreal.
Also, Intonation and Pitchfork have announced some of their lineups. Can you believe it!
A funny list at that shrine to literary ostentation McSweeney's.
Been watching 'The Sopranos'? Two lines that I enjoyed from the past two weeks (SPOILER alert!):
"Ammazzare Malanga" - Uncle Junior, before he shoots Tony in the stomach. Junior is so funny sometimes. Check out this audio mix from the episode if you don't know what I'm talking about.
"Let's go Van Helsing." - Paulie Walnuts to Anthony, who has recently grown his hair out. Paulie is pretty fucking fantastic too. Paulie Walnuts. What a name. A lot better than Tony Sirico, who, surpise surprise, has a criminal record.
Conan's coming to Chicago!. He will be for four shows starting May 9. Ticket information will be disclosed on the March 28th show.

The real turban cowboy
So I guess I stole 'Turban Cowboy' from someone, not that he was bright enough to come up with the name himself. His name is Vikram Chatwal, and he's the heir to the Hampshire Hotels chain. What's the deal with hotel heirs and heiresses becoming socialite STD-magnets who do nothing but buy contraceptive and sleep with each other? Here's the problem. These people are EVOLVING. They are becoming resistant to disease. They've survived virtually everything out there, having been exposed to every virus, every drug, every bacterium, etc. I mean, Ms. Hilton smokes embalming fluid. That shit will kill YOU! And when they procreate, they are going to create genetically-resilient, disease-resistant, though tragically daft, superbabies. And their genes will flourish. They will spread from NY to Tibet, from to peepee to cacka, from generation to generation. And the human race will be fucked. Fucked!
Anyway, Vikram just got married. To a model, of course. I'm keeping my name gawddamnit.

Jesus can the NYT name drop geneticists. "We are still evolving." Like a two-bit hooker in Addison couldn't have told me that. The NYT has too many field writers.

Andy and Conan, back together again
"The Sopranos" started Sunday. Watch the trailer here.
Rejoice! Andy and Conan are getting back together again, though not on "Late Night." Conan is developing a sitcom for Andy in which he will play an accountant who takes over an office that used to belong to a private investigator. Old customers keep coming to him and he isn't getting any new accounting business so he assumes the role of the previous occupant. Ha ha ha. What a bunch of funny guys! Just please bring back the driving desk.
Gooawd. Who the shit approved this design? Probably Brandon Flowers. Jeez. He's probably cutting his coke with eyeliner now.
If you are a t-mobile customer, lucky you. You now get free wireless on weekends at places where t-mobile wireless is available (Borders, Starbucks, etc.).
Google Video your way to becoming a surgeon.
It's unofficial. The Dotcom boom is back, but this time in New York.

Steve Holt!
David Sedaris in the New Yorker. His usual "my family is F'd in the A" angle. How much longer can this be done?

Wanna be the Papa, You can be the Mom. oh oh!
A discussion about sex ratios in developing and developed countries, and a related article on
female infanticide in India.
Depression and the presidency: A relationship.
A very interesting conversation between Malcolm Gladwell and Bill Simmons as part of Simmons' "Curious Guy" feature. Science and statistics as they apply to sports.

2. Rumors abound concerning Showtime picking up Arrested Development.
3. The actor who plays Josh, the wonderfully written and brilliantly acted Deputy Chief of Staff from "The West Wing," Bradley Whitford, will join the cast of Aaron Sorkin's new show.
Trailer mashup No. 1,742: Requiem for Toy Story II.
