Spring has sprung and it looks like the Prez is all Twitterpated.
At least someone at the paper has a great sense of irony.
they do make a cute couple...

greed is good, publicity is great...
Let me just say that The Wall Street Journal is the last place I would ever think Rachel and I would be mentioned in. Well, maybe the last after Business Week.
Anyway, imagine our surprise that out of, like, hundreds of thousands of podcasts floating in cyberspace, the Journal chooses little ol' BEWARE OF THE BABYLON.
Now we have to deal with that NY Podcasting Association for talking about them.
Remember, first rule of Podcasting Club - DO NOT talk about Podcasting Club.

who needs a blog like that...
The gayest working band in show biz is here in the big apple and BEWARE OF THE BABYLON was there tonight.
This week's exciting new podcast comes from the line outside Irving Plaza just before the show, and then a post concert wrap-up.
On it you will learn:
- what books could have been based on Rachel's life
- how not to sing Oh L'Amour
- just how amazing are those Elkland promo people
- how to be your own personal cell phone secretary

look out! falling wildlife...

Amazingly, NY1 aired this commercial/PSA this morning from Wal-Mart about their new Acres for America program.
In a pact that could only be described as Faustian, Wal-Mart has joined forces with the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation to conserve critical wildlife habitats for future generations.
The commerical is fantastic as it recycles bad stock footage of deer, bald eagles, beavers, chipmunks, etc over pointless copy about this new program.
I'm not taking a stance on hunting here, but this is so freaking ironic as Wal-Mart is America’s biggest gun-seller.
Just saying, you flash the Wal-Mart logo with footage of wildlife, and you get a hunter with a woodie, not a bleeding heart.

I don't know about you, but I'm foaming at the mouth over the big-screen adaptation of HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY.
The opening scene of the movie is a musical number performed by dolphins called "So long, and thanks for all the fish."
The nice folks at Yahoo Movies have posted the clip and others from the film.

My dear friend Danielle has launched a really great store on-line with her t-shirts.
Please check it out and feel free to place an order or too. They are quite comfy and make you look like you have a six-pack if you are a girl or really big boobs if you are a guy. Wait. Scratch that. Reverse it.

What a strange double feature...

Back from Italy and France. How weird is this pairing at a Italian cinema? Pooh meets Cursed. Classic.
Stay tuned tonight for a most incredible BRAND SPANKING NEW podcast from Beware of the Babylon.
rockin the suburbs, of France...
Bush is here today for the funeral of his dear friend Prince Rainier.
I can't help but think that the president was confused and thought he was coming to Morroco.
Actually, it is rather early...
Still not quite adjusted to the time difference in France, this show on M6 (like the coolest channel ever) wakes me up every morning with its odd combination of old-school MTV format and the big breakfast show out of the UK.
Check out the site for clips and you will see what I mean...

le big mac de Cannes
I studied French in High School for 4 years because being a Film Geek I figured I'd someday make it to Cannes, God-willing.
Flash forward to my 8th trip to Cannes and, in what has to be one of God's greatest "I told you so" moments in my life, I still can hardly utter un peu de francais before I clam up and go no further with the French. Needless to say I should have paid more attention in class.
Even at McDonalds (western influence in France-i'm lovin it) today I ordered the obligitory half English menu item, le royale with cheese. Not "avec frommage" mind you, but with cheese.
I have no shame. It saved Travolta's career and it's good for me too.
Perhaps tomorrow I will work up the courage to ask for more ice in the hotel. Des Gla|cons for those keeping track.
Merci, au revoir.

Think French...
Although I will do my best to update the blog from Cannes, please think French over the next 18 days.This, of course, means the next podcast will be on the 19th upon my return to the states.What a great time for you to catch up on the growing library of BEWARE OF THE BABYLON podcasts, eh?

You say Vader, I say Tater...
Back from Florida now and I have to say the highlight, for me at least, was watching Jake play with the Darth Tater, the new Star Wars Mr. Potato Head that I picked up the second it hit the shelves.

greetings from florida
Note: I am blogging this post from my Blackberry while on vacation in Boynton Beach, Florida visiting my Grandparents. Any strange spellinnggs orr pu'nktuations are the fault of this device.
--------------
Set the way back machine for 1990. So it's my Freshman year and my Grandparents decide to send me a huge care package of goodies. What I find upon opening it is a box filled with every food item I've noticed in their pantry since I've been alive. This became further true as the Cheese-Its were a bizzare dark orange and tasted like fungus. Moving on to other items I notice the toothpaste's label claiming NOW WITH FLUORIDE!
Point is, for quite some time the concept of expiration dates has been completely lost on my dear grandfolks.
So here I am in Florida visiting them and I am on full alert. A quick glance over the medicine cabinet shows Advil leaving us in 03 (not too too bad), but the Pepto back in 97.
My spidey senses are on full blast when Grandma almost puts Chunky Blue Cheese dressing on my salad that expired in August of 01! Chunky indeed. You could stop the clap with that.
I shall be doing a good service in cognito later this weekend as I tiptoe to the market to buy replacement products and slip them in unknowen to my gfloks.
As proud of the fact they are still with us today, I wouldn't be able to deal with the irony of sickness from a Cheese-It cracker.
