Random Friday tidbits...

I saw "Spider-Man 2" last night. Oh my god, it was amazing!!! I liked the first one but couldn't get over how good this one was. It might even be my favorite film of 2004 thus far. When the year ends, I'm going to have to sit down and compile my Top 10 list.

Jason Giambi got caught taking steroids. Or he got caught saying so in his grand jury deposition. No shocker there. What about all of the other ballplayers who haven't been caught though? I support severe discipline against Giambi but it will seem hollow if he takes the fall for the rest of the league. Is it fair that Giambi's contract be terminated but Barry Bonds gets lauded for breaking Hank Aaron's home run record? Where's the consistency?

Bernard Kerik, former NYC Police Commissioner, was appointed to be the new head of the Homeland Security Department. I guess it could be worse. They could have picked Howard Safir.

"Lost" was great on Wednesday night. At the end of the episode, they learned that one of the people living among them on the island wasn't even on the plane when it crashed. And he has evil intentions. The tension and dramatic twists keep intensifying.

The reality programs have also been entertaining as of late. "Survivor" and "The Apprentice" are both entering their home stretches. On "Survivor", Chris is the only male standing but he's in the best position to win as the remaining women bicker amongst each other. On "The Apprentice", it's down to the final four. The best reality show though is "The Amazing Race". The first team eliminated was two Jewish guys from Brooklyn. The second team eliminated was two Italian girls from Queens. Among the remaining teams are a married pair of pro wrestlers! Now that's entertainment.

Have a good weekend!
