What up! - new blog site, christiananders.wordpress.com --- every superhero must unveil his identity at some point or another... 

Album of the Year!!

Today, Jason Mraz came out with his third studio album, and I must say, it's probrably the best album I've heard in my life. I am a musician for a living (or at least my alter-ego is) and I only dream of having the talent Mr. A-Z has in his pinky finger. This album promotes him from average "Geek in the Pink" to "Superhero in the Pink." The album is entitled "We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things" (which means he might have some super-villain potential). But it gets two capes up from this superhero!

Don't Call It A Comeback

Actually, you could call it a comeback.  It's been almost 6 weeks since my last post, and alot has happened.  Our superdog, Georgia, has had 9 puppies, all of which are next in line to Ace, the Bat Hound, Krypto, the SuperDog, and Underdog, as canine crime fighters.  My alter-ego, also got a new job.  A very exciting job at that.  Major props to the loyal ones who have checked this site regularly to see if there has been any update.  For the record.... if Charlie would have bit me, I would have cried more than his brother.... We're getting rid of the stupid catch phrase.  As my boy Billy would say, "Peace, I'm Outta Here!!"

The Dark Knight

Christian Bale as Batman, Heath Ledger as The Joker

This movie looks great.  July is a long way away, so I try to watch this once every 2 or 3 hours.  This movie, popcorn, buncha crunch, and my shoes sticking to the floor of the theatre sounds like the perfect day.  Until next time, same Otter-time, same Otter-Website.

Super Deals

Ok give me a second before you hit that 'x' in the corner of your screen, I promise this is not a used car commercial.  I'm not trying to sell you a 95 kia spectra with 70,000 miles on it for no down payment and 0% APR.  I simply want to give credit where credit is due.  As a superhero, I have to be careful where I use the word "super," to be sure I don't lessen my own classification.  But somethings are worth of the adjective.  The most recent experience I've had with something super is the $4.99 buffet at CiCi's pizza.  CiCi's the most spectacular "bang for you buck" you will every experience.  From the infamous "Welcome to CiCi's!!" upon walking into the door to the super awesome arcade games, CiCi's is SUPER.  You can get everything from a salad, to pasta, to pizza (regular and zesty), and those cinnamon rolls that make you blood cells like a Mack Truck on a neighborhood street.  Since Bruce Wayne is the exception when it comes to the economic security of superheroes, CiCi's provides a large amount of fuel, for a small amount of cash.  Thank you CiCi's.  Until next time, same Otter-time, same Otter-Website.

No Brainiac's at the FDA

One of the promienent characters in Superman is the Brain Inter-Active Construct, otherwise known as Brainiac. He, by far, is one of the smartest characters in comic book history, and has been the namesake of overachieving kids for years. Unfortunately, the very place that we need the "brainiac's", are the same places that we'll find the exact opposite. Take for instance the FDA (Food and Drug Administration). In March of 2007, they released a request to drug products with the following statement: "Sleep driving is defined as driving while not fully awake," they could stop there, and I would just chalk it up the extreme intellegence of Captain Obvious, but no, they keep going, "Sleep driving is defined as driving while not fully awake after ingestion of a sedative-hypnotic product, with no memory of the event." I'm glad to know the geniuses as the FDA have decided to eliminate regular sleep from the category of "sleep driving." So for those of you who are just really tired at the wheel of a car, don't worry, unless you have taken sedative, you are not in any danger of sleep driving, according to the FDA. I also am dumbfounded at the end of the definition, "with no memory of the event." Let's see, I remember falling asleep, but after that... nothing. Welcome to EVERY HUMAN's sleeping pattern. Well, officer, I was asleep at the wheel after ingesting a sedative, but I remember seeing the red light, running it, aiming my car for the fire hydrant at the corner of 9th and Main, and then thinking it would be fun to slam my vehicle into this inbankment here." As the officer responds, "well, too bad you took that sedative, or else I wouldn't have to right you up for sleep driving." Congratulations FDA, in you misinforming millions of American's... happy sueing to all the attorney's out there. Just to clarify... DRIVING WHILE ASLEEP IS BAD!!! Until next time, same Otter time, same Otter-Website.

Crazy Duo's

Clark Kent has his newspaper writing gig, Bruce Wayne has his philanthropy with billions, and Peter Parker delivers pizza and takes pictures. Every superhero has their alternate identity, mine is sitting at a desk, playing on the internet all day. Fun, I know. Today on a popular news site I read about a broadway musical that is in the works. The music was composed by none other than John Mellancamp. While this is not unusual, due to the fact that many promienant musicians have writting music for Broadway in recent years (Elton John, Billy Joel, etc), the writer of the non-music portions is unusual. In fact, he defines unusual. Stephen King. That's right, a Broadway musical coming to a stage near you, written by John Mellencamp, and Steven King. I can hear it now, "Here's a little diddy, about Jack and Diane; getting chased by ghosts and demons in a haunted piece of graveyard land." This duo is perhaps the most odd pairing since that horrible Tim McGraw and Nelly song. The good news is that I've always wanted to hear the Chevy theme song while I being terrified for my life. Good thing King and Mellencamp paired, or I would never be able to experience that.

Certain duo's don't sit well with the American public. Shaq and Kobe didn't last, neither did Brad and Jennifer, or Michael Jackson and 10-year-olds. Superheroes always get this right. Batman and Robin, Lois and Clark, Wonder Woman and spandex. The celebrity world should take notice from these pairings, and stick to sure fire duo's that won't disappoint. Although, Britney Spears' pairing with the Hair Club for Men would be interesting.... until next time, same Otter-time, same Otter-Website
