Y'all finally get to see my new feature "Celebrity Chat Express." I'm hoping to make this a more regular thing than the IMAO podcast (which I AM NOT involved with).

I'm developing a new feature that requires a lot of photoshop and HTML work to get it to work right since it's graphics-heavy.
It should be funny, so it's worth it :)
Frank J. of 
brings us DogFlogging!!!
It's not what you think. I promise.
Unfortunately, I do not possess the technology to make this happen, but feel free to help me make that possible by clicking the below button to donate to the Justin's Broke Fund.
You'll even get a really nice email back from me that you can show all of your friends!!!
OK, so I'll be surprised if anybody donates, but attempting can't hurt, can it???
My little brother graduates tonight from West Brook.
I guess I should be happy for him or something, but all it does is make me feel old.
I walked across the stage at the Montagne Center three years ago.
From my experience, it's boring even when you're the one your family's there watching walk across the stage.
Honestly, If I had it all to do over again, I wouldn't go.
I'm just not very big on ceremony.
Heck, I've talked with my family about it and they understand where I'm coming from :)

KBTV: Rita Babies to Arrive Soon
Another baby boom could be headed to Southeast Texas, and it`s all thanks to one of the worst natural disasters the area has ever seen.
June 24th marks exactly nine months since Hurricane Rita hit, but the babies due from couple’s “extra time together” during the evacuation should be here in about two to three weeks.
All I know is that I'm not one of them with kids on the way.
And if I am, I wanna know what the heck I slept through. :)
Beagles were bred to hunt rabbits. Bruiser hasn't gotten that chance yet.
Nope, it wasn't.
For more petblogging goodness, check out The Friday Ark.
I am not racist, sexist, or any other -ist you can think of.
I hate everybody. Equally.
So there.
I like this design, so it stays.
I've already finished the work with the graphics to get the look, I'll get to the monnents pages later.
UPDATE: Comments are done!
Next weekend the Texans have their "All Access" Schindig thingy for season ticket holders.
Since I'm a season ticket holder, and it's free, I'm going.
I'll be in the same building as David Carr, one of my picks.
The Dead Pool rules say:
You may not cause the death of any pick personally unless directed to legally in the service of your nation's armed forces, law enforcement, or in self defense.
So, unless David Carr decides to jump over the autograph table to beat the crap out of me I'm not allowed to kill him.
Okay, I can live with that.
So, what are the odds that a DB leaps across the table and sacks Carr???
(Cross-posted at Mr. Crap's Dead Pool)
It's been slow as molasses in January. What's up with that???
UPDATE: Wow Google's good. It sped up soon as I submitted this post.
This is our new design. We'll see if I decide to keep it, tweak it, or go back to the old one.
I'm not going to mess with the comments until I settle on something here.
I was just on PokerStars playing one of their no-limit mini-tournaments with 18 people.
For those that don't know, PokerStars is free and is "for entertainment purposes only"
First hand I get dealt pocket Jacks.
Now, I usually sit out the first hand in these tournaments because some idiot usually pushes all-in with nothing in the hopes of accumulating a huge stack of chips at the start. But I figure "Hey' I've got a good hand here to rack up some chips," so I push all in with two other hands at my table. I'm in the lead by far pre-flop. One of the other guys has A-6, I don't remember what the third had.
The flop hits... Mister A-6 now had a set of Aces. I'm thinking "I'm fucked" because the only thing that'll save me is runner-runner Jacks.
And I'm outta there like that.
I guess I shouldn't complain considering how many times I've gotten a card that saves my ass on the river, but hey, it still hurts.
You ever wanna just yell "BULLSHIT!!!" really loud to someone who's giving ya a sales pitch???
I just got off the phone with one of those online schools that I'm considering doing my criminal justice degree through and felt like I was getting bullshitted through the whole talk.
I mean, at least try to make it so that your phone people don't sound like they're ading off of a script. That was PAINFULLY obvious.
Honestly I felt like my intelligence was being insulted the whole time.
Well, that's one school off of my list and, sadly, an hour of my life that I'lm never gonna get back.
I'm lost.
Yes, I know the story between Jack and the ChiComs, but still... Just as I'd thought that this whole season was crazy enough, they add a whole new level of craziness by showing Jack on the slow boat to China.
Should be interesting to see how this plays out next season... or if they touch the storyline at all...
I can say that a lotof 24 fans are gonna be pissed...
I'm thinking about changing to a new template.
Back when I was designing templates for Through our Eyes, I spit out one design (a three-column design similar to the one 
has) that used the Astros colors. It didn't get picked, but I'm thinking about using it here.
I should note that Through our eyes isn't using the template that was selected because the hosted WordPress platform (which we're using on a temporary basis) does not allow customized templates.
Simply put, I've had this look the whole time and I kinda want a change for some reason...
I'll play around with it later this week.
I gotta remember to make a button for Through our eyes too...
Tonight is the season finale for 24.
24 addicts, such as myself, will either have their TiVo's juiced up or be camped out in front of the TV tonight to see the last two hours of day five.
I could talk about what all's happened this year, but I won't for many reasons:
This is the last week this year where the guys get to see Jack blow the **** outta everything and the ladies get to drool over how hot he is.
Fpr all your 24 needs, check out Blogs4Bauer.
Oh, you wanted to know what the biggest night of the year is, I'm sure... it's gotta be the season premiere.

...it's that Bonds leaves Houston still stuck at 713 homers.
Not that Bonds didn't swing a good bat, mind you. Take a look at his stats.
GAME AB R H RBI BB SO Mon. 3 1 1 1 1 1 Tues. 4 3 2 1 0 0 --------+--+--+---+---+---+ TOTAL 7 4 3 2 1 1
That's a pretty good line for two nights. Just not the HR that everybody was looking for and that I didn't wanna see our guys give up.
After these three losses with a combined score of 34-5 I am now convinced that the Giants own the Astros. I don't know why, they just do. It's just one of those weird things in baseball that happens sometimes.
Just be glad that we don't face them any more this season.
By the way, the Giants pitching staff did not retaliate for the Bonds plunk last night. I still say that was intentional. If you still haven't seen the video, you can click here and there's a link to pop it up on that page. Sorry, I can't link straight to the video, but I did try to.
Yes, I'm a little surprised that they didn't. I guess the league made a phone call or something.

ESPN.com - May 15th San Francisco @ Houston recap
HOUSTON (AP) -- Nobody wants to surrender Barry Bonds' next home run, and Astros right-hander Russ Springer wasn't about to wind up on the wrong end of history Tuesday night.
He wound up and plunked the San Francisco slugger instead.
Having seen the video, it didn't look like an "accidental" plunk to me. Springer was going for him and the umpire obviously thought so too since he tossed Springer and Astros' manager Phil Garner (as is the norm in these situations).
I have no problem with throwing at Bonds. I've never liked him. Not one bit and I haven't since before the steroids thing. It's his "God's gift to baseball" attitude.
Springer's probably going to be fined and/or suspended for his actions. I'll gladly help Russ pay that fine.
If nothing else, the plunk added something to an otherwise ugly 14-3 loss.

In a recent interview, Donald Rumsfeld mentioned the importance of blogs in the informations battles in the war on terrorism.
He's actually working on one. I think it should be named "Ramblings of a senile old guy."
What? That's the impression I get when I hear him talk.
...if you caught 714 or 715 off of Barry Bonds?
We've got a post up discussing it at Through our Eyes.
You know you wanna check it out.
I've finally got my computer built and running.
I'm actually running off of it right now.
Unfortunately for y'all, there's A LOT of files to move over to this thing, and that takes time. Lots of it.
UPDATE: The newspaper project's been keeping me busy too.
Check the weather first.
I didn't do that before I went today to get some computer parts and I ended up regretting it on the way back.
I was coming back from the Fry's in Webster (Map) and from the about halfway up the ship channel beidge on the Beltway to about Anahuac it was raining constantly. It was a blast, lemme tell ya. One stretch was so bad that everybody was driving 30.
If I'd had any idea it was gonna rain like that I wouldn't have gone today.

Through our eyes: A younger perspective on Southeast Texas is now officially up and rolling. We probably won't be up to 100% for a week or so, but we do have it started and I've started to post over there.
All my posts will be cross-posted here for now, but I may change that later to get traffic over there.
Should be interesting to see how this takes...
Chron.com: Lidge removed as Astros closer for now
Astros pitcher Brad Lidge has been temporarily removed as the team's closer in an effort to allow him to work through his struggles in non-pressure situations, manager Phil Garner said prior to tonigiht's game against the Colorado Rockies.
Although Lidge entered the weekend tied for the National League with 11 saves, he's struggled with his command much of the season. Lidge, who saved 42 games last year, has blown three saves and has a 6.48 ERA in 18 games pitched this year.
This is good. I've had a feeling that Lidge's problems were more mental than anything else. Basically a confidence thing probably stemming from Albert Pujols' blast off of him in NLCS game 5 last year that looked like it would have gone all the way to Katy had the roof been open.
Lidge came in in the 7th last night. Up 5-1, he set theRpckies batters down in order with one strikeout and had really good stuff. The 'Stros went on to win 12-2.
Brad will get his head on straight and he should be back to his dominant self in no time.

Sorry y'all, but the newspaper project's been keeping me busy so I don't really have the time for it.
I'll try to get it up tomorrow.
The reason I was gonna build a computer is because my laptop has been acting up and I wasn't sure I could fix it.
Well, I fixed it last night, so I'll be keeping it.
My bowling league had it's last night of the season tonight.
I'm in a money league. They cost a little more weekly to play in (mine was $14) but have prize pools for the top teams in the league and pay an amount per game your team wins throughout the season. My team earned about $580 to split between the five of us equally, so I walked away with $116 and change.
It'll put a dent in the money I'm going to be spending to build a new computer this weekend so I aint complaining.
Texas has two people trying to run for governor as independents this year, which is no easy task in this state and hasn't been done in 100+ years.
To get on the ballot, each person had to gather up 45,540 signatures from people who didn't vote in the primaries. Those petitions are due today.
Self-proclaimed "Tough Grandma" Carole Keeton McClellan Rylander Strayhorn turned in her petition Tuesday. Reports are that she used a lot of boxes.
Postcards from the Lege: Strayhorn Reboxed, Kinky Intends Motorcycles
“As our staff is beginning to consolidate and organize all of the petitions that Ms. Strayhorn turned in yesterday, we have consolidated her 101 boxes (of petitions) down to 12,” says Scott Haywood, communications director for the Secretary of State’s office.
Haywood is not sure what the agency will do with the leftover cartons (all 101 delivered Tuesday were slapped with Strayhorn bumper stickers). He made it clear that Strayhorn did not fill boxes to the brim.
“If she had not been so hungry for media attention, we would not have had to waste time consolidating her petitions into a more usable format. By trying to get a bigger play in the media, she has made the process more time-consuming for our office.”
[...]
McClellann said Strayhorn’s campaign organized the petitions in 101 sets. “Try organizing one box full or carrying one full,” McClellan said. “It’s a shame they waste time doing this cheap partisan attack.”
They don't get along because of Strayhorn's lawsuit attempting to get the signature verification process sped up so there's no telling what's going on over here. I'm leaning towards the Strayhorn camp over-inflating what they have, but then again I'm really cynical when it comes to politicians.
On the other side, humorist, singer and mystery writer Kinky Friedman is turning his petitions in today and they seem to be confident that they've got enough.
Kinky Friedman for Governor : NEXT STOP: ELECTION DAY
During the past two months, independent Texans across this great state -- from the Piney Woods to the Great Trans-Pecos, from the Llano Estacado to the Rio Grande Valley -- have signed the petition to put Kinky on the ballot and give voters a real choice on election day.
This Thursday, Kinky will announce that his name will appear on the November ballot as he turns in tens of thousands of YOUR signatures to the Secretary of State.
The blog entry I linked to earlier mentions his plans for turning his in too.
Side note: Independent hopeful Kinky Friedman plans to deliver his voter signatures at midday Thursday; he intends to cruise in from his South Austin headquarters with a police motorcyle escort. (He kind of needs it to slip the usual backed-up traffic on Ben White Boulevard and Interstate Highway 35.)
FYI: IH-35 through Austin is a parking lot more hours than it isn't.
The Texas Secretary of State tells us that he'll have the petitions validated and we'll know weither or not they make the ballot in about six weeks.
UPDATE: The AP is reporting that Kinky Friedman turned in 169,574 signatures on his petition. The number is provided by the campaign, not the official, verified number from the SoS office.

(Hat-tip: 
)
On last week's episode of Prison Break, I couldn't help noticing a long, random montage set to the theme music from House M.D.. Apparently some lazy music coordinator pulled the wrong track from the Fox music library. I would post this bizarre sequence, but due to random technical difficulties, I can't. Nevertheless, it got me thinking. What would happen if TV shows played the theme songs from other TV shows in the middle of an episode? The results are surprisingly entertaining.
How do I know?
Today's the first day we're suppossed to hit 90...
There's suppossed to be a "cold fromt" coming through today though... gonna cool us down all the way to 82 tomorrow.
Better get out the jackets!!!
The court's baliff made us think that we were in for it today.
Then when he sat us down in the courtroom he let us know otherwise... The case for today settled and we were told to not come back until we get another summons.
Wow, that was easy...
We've got the meeting tonight... it should be interesting...
The main thing I'll be concerned with tonight is the template design... the thing I've been busting my ass off doing the past week or so...
OK, so maybe not that, but I have been working hard... I promise.
The case that was on the docket today for the court I was assigned to was settled at the last minute, so I'm done for the day.
I don't have to go back until Wednesday.
I also got some CD's while I was getting clothes.
Kelly Clarkson's "Breakaway" just happened to show up with the two Gary Allan CD's.
OK, so I wanted to buy it. So sue me.
It's a really good CD. Way better than I'd expected it to be... and I did expect a good one.
There was one I totally forgot to buy though *sigh* oh well, I'll maybe find it here in town. If not, I'll just make another trip to Houston and run to a few more places.
I finally went and bought some clothes for jury duty, which starts tomorrow.
Damn I'm gonna look good... because we all know that jury duty is a great way to pick up chicks...
Easy... not much I wanna write about.
There'll probably be plenty of cuss-filled tirades next week. Good fun for all.
This week it's Bear.
Dangit, you found me.I could have just rang the doorbell and you would have come running...
My Wandy jersey came in yesterday :)
After I'd left for the game :(
Oh well, I'm happy with it.
Maybe I'll take some pictures later and model it or something...
Last night, the one thing that I DIDN'T want to see happen did.
No, not the Astros losing. They won 5-4.
Albert Pujols stepping up against Brad Lidge.
For the three of you that don't know, in game 5 of last year's NLCS, Lidge hung a slider that Pujols would have hit halfway to Katy had the roof been open, winning that game. The 'Stros went on to win the series.
This is a situation I didn't want to see happen period, but the thing that made it even worse is that a Pujols HR right then would have tied the game up.
I watched anyways.
He hit a deep ball to center that Willy T. caught just in front of the hill.
*sigh*
What a relief.
Blogging will be light today because I'm going to Houston.
Why am I, you ask?
Pants.
I need pants.
And shirts, maybe a few ties.
Gotta look good for jury duty, cause we all know that jury duty is a great way to pick up chicks.
And somebody told me that the Astros are playing the Cardinals tonight. I might try to Audioblog that after the game. Maybe the Audioblog won't suck this time.
The Trash Palace - ABC's Extreme Wool Pullover?
The call came a few months ago. Some fast-talking Los Angeles-based producer from ABC's "Extreme Home Makeover" called and requested some ideas on projects that would be good for the show.
[...]
However, when I asked about the musical act, the "Extreme Home Makeover" representative hemmed and hawed, saying it hadn't been booked yet. In addition, we would not be allowed to do the behind-the-scenes stuff the Los Angeles guy had promised.
Why am I not surprised about the exec's trying to pull off the stunt they did?
Probably just because I'm really cynical.
Brian's way nicer than me. I would have blown the secret with a five inch tall banner headline on the front page.
Yes, I'm pissed. What gave you that idea?
They have it in their databsae that I didn't buy the warranty when I bought my computer, when I KNOW I bought a one-year on it.
The problem is a minor hardware thing that, if I'm right, would take no new parts and two minutes to fix. I'm just not willing to void the warranty that they don't think exists.
Now it's on ME to prove to them what I bought when I ordered the system from them. Paperwork I probably won't be able to find.
The expiration date they had for it in their database was from BEFORE I BOUGHT THE F***ING COMPUTER FROM THEM!!!
This is ridiculous.
And no, I'm not going to buy from them again.
I hope y'all can forgive me for this lie. I ended up buying them.
Spent way too much, but after the draft I think they'll be good this year. I'm thinking 8-8 minimum.
That, of course, is a HUGE improvement :)
Less than $30 out of my pocket.
It's not like I was being cheap, I couldn't find the kind of shirts that I'm looking for at Target for jury duty next week and couldn't find two CD's I wanted.
I did walk away with a small mocha frappuccino and two CD's. Toby Keith's White Trash With Money and Fenix TX's Lechuza.
Blame Pack for turning me on to Fenix TX. He's got a great song by them on his MySpace. Well, he did.
For some reason they remind me of The Offspring.
I guess I'll get the new Hoobastank CD and (yes, I'm serious about this one) Kelly Clarkson on Wednesday when I'm in Houston getting clothes. Katy Mills has an FYE in it that's bigger than my house. They should have it.
What? Kelly Clarkson can sing. And she's nice to look at too. REALLY nice. :)
. . . and show the boycotters just what I think of them.
After I run to the bank.
(Via my Fact or Crap calendar)
Did you know that fire ants recruit slaves from other ant species to do physical labor?
It's true, I swear. That's what the back says. Apparently fire ants are only capable of fighting.
No wonder the little bastards are so annoying.
Yes, that's right, I'm going to let all of y'all in on the big secret. What's going to solve the problem.
LET US DRILL FOR OIL!!!
Really, it's that simple. We've got enough oil underground in the U.S. to sustain the country. But all the tree-huggers and people screaming "Not in my backyard" prevent us from doing that.
If they'd shut up, gas would likely not cost $2.85 a gallon.
Seriously.
Chron.com - Texas county to boycott Exxon Mobil
BEEVILLE — High gas prices are unquestionably painful in this small South Texas town that is at least an hour's drive from malls and specialized medical care, but some residents are doubting the wisdom of the county board's call for a boycott of Exxon Mobil Corp.
Opponents of the boycott that starts Monday note that oil and gas taxes fund much of Bee County's budget, and they say a boycott could end up harming mom-and-pop gas stations whose main profits are not from oil.
The boycott against the world's largest oil company will continue until gas is down to $1.30 a gallon, said County Judge Jimmy Martinez, the county's highest elected official. A gallon of regular unleaded cost $2.92 on average around the nation and $2.80 in the Corpus Christi region today, according to AAA.
Bee County (Web site, Wikipedia) has a total population of just over 32,000 people, what makes them think that they can have an effect on the global oil markets?
I have no idea.
Anybody got any guesses?

Earlier I blogged about wanting the 'Stros game to rain out.
Game's over, we win 3-2. The TV cuts to commercial.
When they come back from the commercial, it's pouring.
Go figure.
At least we got the win. I can't complain about a 16-8 start to the season, even if it looks like that's only good enough for third in the division. It's only putting us back half a game.
The 'Stros are up 3-2 on the Reds in the top of the 8th.
The threat of rain has bee hovering around all day, and I wouldn't mind it now since a rainout at this point would mean a win.
Mainly it'd just keep Lidge from blowing another one.
I heard back from them already.
My replacement copy ships out tomorrow.
Now to just find a box to ship the original back in.
For those that don't know, Performancing is a plugin for Firefox that allows you to write a post on your blog without going through the normal methods.
Anyways, i configured my blog early on to not do line breaks automatically because it gives me more control over appearance, but it can be a pain in the butt once in a while having to put them in myself.
Anyways, I figured out how to get Performancing to put them in for me automatically. If anybody wants to know, lemme know and i'll explain.
It's not hard, I promise.
They're about to be tested.
I'm attempting to exchange a set of DVD's I bought last week. One of the discs was warped and got scratched up pretty bad when I tried to play it in my laptop.
Oh, you're wondering what just might piss me off, aren't you?
The packing slip didn't ever get to me. Probably Jason just chunked it when he opened the box thinking it was his. The odds are that I would have lost the slip anyways before now.
If they're going to be a pain in the ass about it they definately won't get my business again and will incur the wrath of Justin. And you don't want my wrath. It's not a pretty thing.
Motiva Enterprises announced Friday it has made significant progress toward a 325,000 barrel a day expansion at its refinery in Port Arthur. Sue Parsley with Motiva tells KFDM News the company has not made a final decision on the expansion and could still decide against it, but if it happens, the Motiva refinery in Port Arthur would become the largest in the country.We have more refineries down here than you'd believe anyways. I wonder if this is the smartest investment though, as that plant got something like four feet of storm surge during Rita. Then again, it was back online in a month. A lot of 'em in Louisiana and Missisippi still aren't.
(A Filthy Lie)
Did you know that Evil Glenn has a podcast? I didn't until my sources at the U of Tennessee told me. The same ones that told me about his fast food venture and who InstaGrandma was.
They also tell me that there are lots of downloads, which his site confirmed.
They informed me that on the next one he'll be interviewing the antichrist himself and then were quick to tell me that they're not talking about Dubya.
Jokingly, I asked "How can he interview himself?"
Turns out I was right. He is interviewing himself.
Should be interesting.
This week is a blast from the past.
It smells like dog around here!!!
The mountain is laughing at me!!!
That's bruiser at six weeks old. And my brother, Jason. I took these the day we got him in late June of last year.
So, he's really close to being a year old now!!!
I just found out something surprising about a family member.
She's pregnant, but I was already aware of that part.
The part I didn't know until about 10 minutes ago is how many.
She's having triplets.
Yea, I'm a litle surprised.
