The Sarah Silverman Program has never been known for its strikingly coherent narrative. And it still isn't. And it's probably never going to be. But this week's episode did feel slightly more like a full, thought out (in a loose sense of the term) story than a plot derived from two or three jokes. I do have to stress the word 'slightly', too. Full-blown plot or half-baked story, I care not as long as it's still funny. And by God it was this week.
And yes, I know you're not supposed to start a sentence with "and".
Sarah finds herself underwater in a dream, her body modified to match that of a Mermaid. After singing a song with some fish and deciding it's cold underwater, she hustles over to a geothermal vent, spewing heated water, and sits on it to warm up, only to find herself in bed. Only problem is the bed is wet too. It seems that she's gone back to her old childhood habit of wetting the bed.
Meanwhile, Laura and Jay are out driving and discussing their vacation plans. They get a call from Sarah telling them that she's had an accident, so they haul ass over to her house expecting something terrible to have happened. When they get there, Sarah is sitting coolly on the couch, directing them to the bedroom, in which Jay finds a wet bed. Not the kind of accident that they'd been expecting, apparently.
Brian and Steve are, you guessed, fighting about something again in this week's episode. The fact that they're gay but they're also strangely not gay detracts from the viewers' ability to distinguish them as a couple, effectively making them seem way more married and annoying than they should be. Their arguments are always about stupid stuff though, so it's hard to take them too seriously. This time the argument is about Brian's beard, which has grown enormous, probably over a foot and a half long. Which is seriously commendable. Anyway, they're going to the mall to get their "ironic christmas pictures" taken, but Steve thinks that Brian's beard pushes the jokes a little bit over the edge. Brian obviously disagrees. They go to the mall to get the pictures, and Brian trips on the escalator, effectively catching his beard in the mechanism that keeps it moving. Steve slams the stop button, and who other than ADAM CAROLLA to come offer advice and support. He shows up sporting a wonderful mustache-less beard, informing Steve that a beard is a precious thing, each beard is unique, like a snowflake made of human hair. When the rescue op comes to a stand-still, the rest of the bearded workers come to remedy the situation.
Sarah ends up meeting a little girl with a bed wetting problem in the grocery store who gives her some valuable advice with which to battle her current affliction: ice cream, jelly beans, and no sleep. This is then turned into an awesome, catchy song about dry sheets, ice cream, and jelly beans being three of their favorite things. Damn, this song will be with me for days. In the end, Sarah doesn't actually solve her bed wetting problem, she just shoots Jay's turtle, Toot, because her lack of sleep convinces her that he's talking to her, attempting to convince her to take over the world. All in all, there weren't too many jokes in this episode, and the humor is more based on the situations. Adam Carolla was an unbelievable highlight to the episode that pushed the episode over the edge. In actuality, he's probably the only reason I'm giving this episode a seven, because he's just too damn awesome. One more thing I'd like to touch upon, that the brilliant Sarah Silverman does a good job bringing up at the end of this episode is the word milk. The word milk, and how some people tend to say it more like "melk" rather than with the I sound. Me and Sarah don't like it. Quit it.

Chocolate News (S01E01)
I've always liked David Alan Grier because he taught me the word "Tofurkey", which I still laugh at to this day. He's also at the helm of a new Comedy Central series called Chocolate News, which, if you aren't learned in ebonics, means news for Black people. I know that usually people hear "news" and think about a continuous timeline of negative events served fresh. But Chocolate News is the good kind of news; the kind that is completely made up and has no connection to the day's events, other than metaphorically.
So yeah, it is more of a sketch show than a news show. But it's a sketch show that feigns seriousness. This is the only reason I can think of to not call this show an attempt at Chappelle's Show part 2, but I'd have to imagine that any sketch show with a Black male lead from now on might (perhaps accurately) be called that.
Obviously, the type of comedy presented in the show is more geared toward a few minorities than your average white citizen, and I don't mean minorities in any negative way. It's stuff like a rapper doing PSAs for kids with scantily-clad women dancing and the usual clichés, a history lesson about the REAL first African-American person to run for President, and a visit with Maya Angelou to sample her speech for Barack Obama.
The real question here is about the host: David Alan Grier. A show is only as good as its host -- unless he/she can make it something more. I do think DAG is creative, funny, and dynamic enough for this role. If you dislike him, you are probably not going to like this show. As good as he is, though, even mid-character, you're still going to know it's David Alan Grier. Becoming the role is not his problem; he can nail the facial expressions and the lines and mannerisms, but whenever he gets excited, he becomes himself again. In my opinion, this isn't that big of a deal. You have to keep in mind that it's his show, and personally, the jokes were funny enough to distract from it.
Basically, Chocolate News is The Onion for Black people. And I love it. If Grier can continue to bring the laughs and maybe be a little more consistent with his portrayals, I could actually see this show taking off.

The Sarah Silverman Program (S02E10)
Sarah Silverman has done something great with her show. She's perfectly matched the writing style with her own sense of humor, probably because she's taken over much of the writing reigns. I've never seen a show that literally starts out by making jokes about a woman's bush. Until today. I think that's a good thing, though. The wait makes it better.
This week's premise is this: Men who look like Osama Bin Laden face the justice of the underside of Sarah's Ford Focus. I wonder if Ford gave them that car to use. I wouldn't think a corporate giant and staple in America's history like Ford would want to stick its name on a show like The Sarah Silverman Program, which promotes the use of drugs, running people over, and kidnapping the heads of corporations. Watch out, oldest living relative of Henry Ford!
So much ridiculous stuff happens in this week's episode that I have no idea how to review it. I could just stop at the world 'awesome', but that might be a big ambiguous. I could use a qualifier, like seriously awesome, but I think two words is a bit scant for a real review. How about an infomercial-y pitch for you to watch this week's episode?
"Do you have a huge, seventies-style bush? Do you think every man with a beard that you see while driving your Ford Focus is Osama Bin Laden, and do you have an overwhelming desire to run him down? Do you want to see a dramatic re-enaction of 9/11 with the twin towers played by two vaguely gay, chubby stoners? Have you ever mixed up a happy ending at a Korean Massage parlor for pooping? Well, now you can experience all this and MORE in this great episode of The Sarah Silverman Program!"
There... I think I got all the main points. To be honest, this week's episode was actually a stand-out episode. There were tons of hilarious puns and Silvermanesque jokes. There were totally hip musical references, with nods to Vampire Weekend and Wilco, two of indie music's most promising artists. There was a sneaky homage to Silverman's friend, Liam Lynch, in the name of the massage parlor that Steve goes to. There's a thinly-veiled underlying political message, but I'm pretty sure that everyone in America is so sick and tired of politics that nobody will take heed. Valiant attempt anyway, Ms. Silverman.
Two last things to mention: I hope that one day, "The Twelve Days of Christmas" is changed to reflect the hilarious result of Steve's massage mixup. They could change the line to "seven shrieking asians." It would be perfect! And, lastly, The Sarah Silverman Program is extremely colorful. That's an exceedingly obvious observation that I hadn't even observed until today. Good job, me!

Guns N' Roses - Chinese Democracy (single)
Once upon a time, Axl Rose was such a badass. He even got arrested at a show once! He threw the mic to the ground and walked off-stage, making rock n' roll history in a time when nothing good happened - the 80's. Lots of dumb shit happened, though, and Guns N' Roses' legacy wilted and fell apart like the second half of their name.
Axl later attempted to revitalize the band with myriad new musicians, with a potential album entitled "Chinese Democracy". After over a decade of waiting for it, many quipped that the album seeing the light of day was as unlikely as China actually becoming a democracy.
Today, though, Axl proved them wrong. The title track from Chinese Democracy is online today, in all its auditory glory.
The song starts out quite ominously with a single note droning in the background, when you start to hear voices. Upon first listen I couldn't tell what they were saying, but after a few attempts I've decided that it's people speaking some form of Chinese, although I can't tell whether it's the actual language, or the infamous Rosie O'Donnell dialect (Ching chong ching!). Next you hear a lame, muted guitar riff, followed by some more guitar that is too crunchy for the year 2008. Also, it sounds like the guitarist kept forgetting what to play, which is funny. Then you realize that it's taken over TEN YEARS for this music to reach the public. Then it becomes kinda sad. Axl comes in with his trademark howl and the song kicks into top gear.
The verses and choruses are entirely predictable and cheesy. Sounds like something that came from the nü-metal era around 2000. And it probably did! The lead-guitarist that replaced Slash (Bucket Head? Or one of the 200 others...) does absolutely nothing to distinguish himself from the huge-haired legend, except electronically alter a few notes in a solo or fill every now and then. Honest to god, you will hear his parts and think that it's Slash.
And then there's Axl's voice. It was one of the main standout factors for Guns N' Roses, and it may be here, too, but for a different reason. He can't hit the notes anymore. He sings an octave lower than he used to. Granted, there is an overriding backing vocals layer during the verses where he sings the high part too, but it's mixed very low. In the parts where he doesn't have himself to accompany himself, his voice sounds stupid. It's low and raspy, not resembling the classic screech at all. It could be anybody, and it sounds dumb.
The lyrics... oh, the lyrics. They consist of some vague, faux-social commentary that actually does not present any discernible argument or point, and on top of that, it has arrived over ten years too late. At this point, the song just sounds like a bad joke about itself. One of the lines is "'Cause it would take a lot more time than you / have got for masturbation". He doesn't even say what would take that much time. China becoming a democracy? I've gotta believe that he just saw the underlying 'ation' suffix rhyme scheme and couldn't resist. Ironically enough, the most used word in the lyrics is "time". He even ends the song by saying, "... and you're out of time!"
Bold words coming from you, Axl.

IceClean (Mac Only)
Since switching from Windows to Mac, I've found myself with a complete lack of a need to scan my computer. For anything! Sure that's a great thing, it's just... so ingrained after a lifetime of AdAware, Spyware Blocker, McAfee Virus Scan, etc. It's like Phantom Limb Syndrome -- it's gone, but you still feel like it's there. Yeah, you could scan for spyware, but I've done that twice in the half year I've had my Mac, and not once has a single threat appeared, so that's out of the question.
Enter IceClean, a high-powered, multifunctional application that will keep your Mac running clean, secure, and fast. On one hand you have the body of the app: compact and clean, it can look up Whois information (sneaky), trace network addresses, display all current socket connections, and display system info, mostly dealing with memory and processors. The body isn't where the power lies, though; the menubar is where IceClean keeps the big guns. This is my only complaint about the program; the menubar menus should be available on the body of the app as well, because that's what I've noticed confuses people most about IceClean.
Here are the three main menus and their subsequent actions:
OSX Maintenance:
- Full System Profiler
- Verify System Disk
- Periodic Routine Cron Scripts
- Verify Preferences .plist files
- Repair Permissions files
- Update Prebindings
- Update Locate & Whatis Databases
- Rebuild LaunchServices
OSX Cleanup
- Remove System Caches
- Clean Font Caches
- Deep Safari Cleanup
- Clean Safari Icons
- Deep System Cleanup
- Remove Log files
- Remove .Localized files
- Remove Temporary Files
- Remove All files
Security & Network
- System Journaling Process
- System Activity Monitor
- Network Info
- AFP Connection
- Firewall
- Firewall Rules
- Firewall Settings
There's also a menu called Utilities, which will allow you to make use of many of your Mac's inherent abilities, including some that aren't readily available without downloading some program to enable them, such as Finder Animations, Address Book Debug Menu, Safari Debug Menu, and Fast Mac Screen Lock.
Basically, IceClean is all you need to keep your Mac running at top speed and efficiency. I do a Deep System Cleanup once a week (which requires a restart), and my computer runs as well as the day I bought it. I even have an anecdote about why IceClean is so great: I downloaded Google Desktop once upon a time. It's a great little thing to have if you feel it's necessary; I thought it was at first, but I realized after having it for a month that I hadn't used it once, so I tried to uninstall it. The problem is, I didn't know that Google Updater was simultaneously installed, which was where I could've uninstalled it, had I known that. So I went through and tried to delete every single file associated with Google Desktop, which did not remedy the problem; the app would still appear, it just didn't do anything. At this point, I found out about Google Updater and tried to uninstall it, unsuccessfully. After much frustration, I tried repairing my permissions files, restarted, and I uninstalled Google Desktop in like two seconds. IceClean works wonders. You'll see.

The Sarah Silverman Program (S02E09)
Sarah Silverman overslept. Upon realizing this, she predicts that her sister will call her about getting lunch at any moment. She does! Sarah deduces that she must be psychic. Walking into the kitchen, she even sees far enough into the future to know that she's going to walk to the fridge and drink some Orange Juice (which was, reassuringly, Simply Orange juice).
Meeting at the same diner they always do, Sarah and her friends discuss her psychicness -- or, a few minutes later, her lack thereof; she realizes that she's not psychic, her friends are just predictable. Going by typical Silverman judgement, she decides to instantly disown them, and sets out to find some new ones.
So begins a strangely funny homage to the old Sesame Street songs, in which tone-deaf kids barked under seventies-era bubbly-fonted words. The song introduces her new friends, who are all strange enough to be found at your local State Fair. Except for Mark the Chinese Lawyer.
Meanwhile, Todd Barry makes a cameo as a completely unnecessary grief counselor, who thankfully utters no mention of the Doggy Bounce, hired by Sarah to cheer up her ex-friends. After being disowned, Sarah's friends find themselves in the midst of a medical emergency having to do with Steve's "pot tits", in what I can only imagine is a thinly-veiled attempt to include marijuana in every episode this season (and applaudably, though not overly creatively, so).
The end of the episode is half-predictable, which is only half less-so than Sarah's friends. Predictable or not, it wasn't exceedingly funny, and I think I only laughed twice during the entire episode. Sarah Silverman is great at portraying those little emotions that only comprise a second or two of face time, which is impressive. Also, I can't say enough about how hilariously lame Jay Johnston's character, Jay, is. He must have so much fun playing him. "Making New Friends" was made up largely of bad puns and one-liners, and barely chuckle-worthy jokes, but it imparts the important lesson that emotionally retarded people only have to buy absurd gifts to keep friends.

Wendy's Flavor-Dipped Chicken Sandwich
I'm a big fan of sauce on things. Whether it's dipped or slathered on, I'm there. Fast food restaurants don't usually facilitate this characteristic of mine, opting to be greedy bastards by using less sauce, thereby saving them like .0004 cents. Sauce can be a make-or-break factor in deciding what would be the most awesome thing to eat. I guess Wendy's finally realized that, inching past their competitors in the sauce category, because the Flavor-Dipped Chicken Sandwich probably could not have more sauce on it.
I experienced the Flavor-Dipped Chicken Sandwich by means of the Buffalo variety, which is one of my favorite flavors. When I unwrapped the sandwich, it was as if someone had shot one of those poor buffalo, who had proceeded to drip his delicious, spicy orange juice all over the wrapper. I lifted the top of the bun and found more of the same. Usually, a sandwich with a name similar to this one would be unveiled, I'd buy it and realize I've been swindled, staring down a small dollop of flavor in a circle on top. Wendy's stays true to their word, though; if you buy this sandwich, do so expecting generous amounts of sauce.
The chicken that the item is made from was surprisingly real. It was juicy and flavorful, and best of all it actually FELT like chicken, not some anonymous material of a slippery, mushy texture. The sandwich is easily big and thick enough to satiate one's hunger, but don't be surprised if you want another after eating the first because it was so good. Be aware that the greatness comes in BBQ flavor, too.
