How am I supposed to find someone willing to go into that musty old claptrap?

1. toddv pulls a Bubba Crosby and wins the iPod Walkoff crown. Holy shit, everyone had amazing entries. See, that's why I love you guys... you all have great taste. iPod War #5 will happen when it happens, and hopefully it'll be a bit spicier and more awesome.

2. Speaking of Bubba Crosby, whoever designed the American League schedule for September deserves a standing ovation, because it seems pretty obvious that every single race will come down to the wire. The White Sox are in freefall while the Indians are shit hot, the Angels and A's are gimpy and scrappy, and you just know that the final series in Fenway is going to be absolutely fucking insane.

3. Speaking of insane, how awesome was last night's Arrested Development? The only real bummer was that Buster got maybe 10 seconds of airtime. But still... George Sr. as a Blue Man? (And then Kitty having blue paint on the back of her head?!!!!) I've heard rumors of who's replacing Henry Winkler (it's a shame to see Barry Zuckercorn go)... can you say Scott fucking Baio? Plus, we get Charlize Theron as Michael Bluth's love interest? Best. Show. Ever. Season Two DVD is coming out October 11.

4. Speaking of awesome, I have been totally in love with Stars, "Set Yourself On Fire". Which is ironic, since the whole album is basically about the ends of relationships. Regardless, this Broken Social Scene-related project is a stunner, and I need to talk about it with someone. Please, let that someone be you.

I thought I had enough for 5.
