In my first passionate sexual awakening, I made sweet sweet love to my housekeeper, Isabelle.

I was quite amused by the University of Tennessee's football team, wearing black jerseys on Saturday to compliment their official orange and white school colors in celebration of Halloween.  That's the spirit, boys!

I want to eat at the Kashiwa Mystery Cafe in southern Japan.  That's right, it's a mystery cafe.  You order and pay for your food, and then you go sit down.  Waiters bring you, not  your food, but the food that the previous person in line ordered.  Surprise!  That just sounds like such a cool idea to me.  Unless of course the person in front of you ordered something absolutely disgusting.  But would a restaurant even have disgusting food?  Hopefully not.

The cafe has a few rules. Among them:

• Treat the next person. What to treat them with? It's your choice.
• No buying twice in a row.
• Please enjoy what you get, even if you hate it. (If you really, really hate it, quietly give it to another while saying, "It's my treat...")

Now I have to go to Japan.

They say that money is dirty, covered in dirt and germs.  Evidently, 90% of it also has traces of cocaine on it.

I wanted to see "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen"...until I read Roger Ebert's review.  Yikes.  He rips the film apart.

"'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen' is a horrible experience of unbearable length, briefly punctuated by three or four amusing moments. One of these involves a dog-like robot humping the leg of the heroine. Such are the meager joys. If you want to save yourself the ticket price, go into the kitchen, cue up a male choir singing the music of hell, and get a kid to start banging pots and pans together. Then close your eyes and use your imagination."

I think I'll save my money!  I can always see it on DVD.

Thoughts?

A well-liked California teacher set out with the intention of giving her students a DVD full of classroom memories.  What they got instead was a sex tape.  The offending DVD starts with a menu screen that displays various school trips and functions. Click on one of them and “you see kids in a classroom sharing stories. They then start clapping and the video suddenly cuts to sex.” Oops!!!  As soon as the teacher became aware of the mistake, she called one family's home and had them spread the message to other families, warning them not to show the DVD to their children.

The parents all seem to be pretty understanding, and it doesn't sound like the lady will lose her job or anything.

I bet she'll triple check before she sends anything else home with the kids.

I was very amused to read about Oregon's ultimate frisbee team, who is in trouble after removing their pants and underwear in the middle of the game.  One player defended the action, saying "We put on the longest shirts we had.  We have some jerseys that are pretty long."  Oh, that's good.  That's so good.

The Cleveland Cavaliers finally lost, amazing enough.  It was their first loss at home all season, but the Lakers brought them down.  Obviously it was just a matter of time, but it was neat that they were able to amass such a streak.

I'm a little surprised that the Phillies are up 2-0 on the Dodgers.  Looks like they've got a good shot at being in the World Series.

LOS ANGELES -- Former NFL running back Lawrence Phillips was sentenced Friday to 10 years in prison, two years after he was convicted of assault with a deadly weapon.

The sentencing was repeatedly delayed while Phillips fought to withdraw a guilty plea in a domestic abuse case that could have led to a stiffer sentence.

Phillips was convicted in 2006 of seven counts of assault with a deadly weapon.

The 33-year-old former Nebraska running back has been jailed since August 2005, when he drove onto a field near Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and his car struck three boys, ages 14 and 15, and a 19-year-old man, who suffered cuts and bruises. The car narrowly missed four other people, prosecutor Todd Hicks.

Phillips was allegedly upset after losing a pickup football game to the youths and accused them of stealing some of his possessions.

Chicago lost a good one today.

"Actor/comedian Bernie Mac passed away this morning from complications due to pneumonia in a Chicago area hospital," his publicist, Danica Smith, said in a statement from Los Angeles, California.

She said no other details were available and asked that his family's privacy be respected.

The comedian suffered from sarcoidosis, an inflammatory lung disease that produces tiny lumps of cells in the body's organs, but had said the condition went into remission in 2005. He recently was hospitalized and treated for pneumonia, which his publicist said was not related to the disease.

It sounds like a group of high school girls in Gloucester, Massachusetts have made a pact to all get pregnant and raise their babies together.  Why on Earth teenage girls would WANT to get pregnant is beyond me, but this must be a dream come true for the high school boys.

A Canadian waitress lost her job when she went into work after shaving her head for a charity called Cops for Cancer, a local fundraiser for cancer research.  The woman's friend was going through cancer, and she also lost her father to the disease--it was an issue close to her heart, and shaving her head for the charity was a no-brainer.

But then she went to work, and her boss told her to go home and not to come back.  How horrible is that?

Staying in tonight to watch Knocked Up.  I love this movie, and I'm always up for a good laugh.
