Vita.mn’s List of Lists: Hottest Local Male News Anchor

Ok, so I haven’t ever actually looked at this List of Lists thing before this year, but I already have an issue with it.  Below is the list of

Hottest local male news personality

1. Sven Sundgaard
2. Mike Pomeranz
3. Frank Vascellaro
4. Eric Perkins
5. Don Shelby
6. Keith Marler
7. Rick Kupchella
8. Joe Fryer
9. Jason DeRusha
10. Jonathan Yuhas

Ok, I love Sven and all. As in I love to make fun of him from my living room. (Or point at him as he goes running by at Lake Calhoun.) But he does NOT deserve to be the hottest local male news celebrity!

And my personal favorite (and old man crush), Jeff Passolt, didn’t even make the list. Sad. I’m calling for a recount. Also, when googling to find images of both of them, I found out that Jeff Passolt was a record scoring hockey player during his days at St. Cloud State. That alone should push him right up into the number 1 spot. Yes?

Bad News Friday.

Today JULY 25th marks what I typically consider the WORST DAY OF THE YEAR.

I saw my first “Back to School” commercial this morning.

This doesn’t have the same impact on me as it did as a child, but it still sends chills down my spine. This means summer is already coming to an end.

Random: Cell Phones pop Popcorn???

I don’t understand exactly how this is happening….but if it is real…we are all in trouble.

Random: Strawberry Shortcake has a new look.

Ugh. Ever since I heard that the Sweet Valley High books were being updated for present day readers I have been worried that my childhood favorites are disappearing.

Well now I KNOW it is true. According to this article, now Strawberry Shortcake AND Care Bears are getting a makeover.

Strawberry Shortcake has a kicky new look and instead of her trademark kitty cat friend, she now has a CELL PHONE. gag.

Care Bears will be going on a crash diet and will be showing “less belly fat” and having “longer eyelashes.”

How sad. I like my Care Bears happily plump thank you.

Music: iPod Speakers for Every Occasion

Yes, I can barely live without my iPod. (I know, its a bit dramatic) But I pretty much bring it everywhere and listen to it all the time. I just got some stand alone travel speakers to go with it, but check this out…there are tons and tons of different speakers to go with your ipod. I have highlighted a few of my favs below…

Best Speakers for Men On-the-go: iPod Belt Buckle

I can’t believe I didn’t think of this first. I think it is such a cool idea. They come in multiple designs (for men and women), but so far it looks like they are built to hold the Nano only. I am sure it will be only a matter of time before you can put your iTouch or Video iPod on your belt and let your neighbor watch a tv show at your waist. Weird. Buy them online at TuneBuckle.

Best Speakers for Women On-the-go: iPod Shoulder Bag

Ok, I found this image on this site, but I cannot find anywhere to actually order them online. Sorry, but no link for this one I guess. Call me a dork, but I could own this. It would be sort of fun to have when you are at the lake and on vacation. I love things that are both functional and fun.

Best Speakers for a Big Party: Pink Cube Speakers

These sort of crack me up, partly because they are hot pink. Check them out line at SendIt.

Best Speakers Just for fun: Giant Earbud Speakers

A playful take on the Apple earbuds. Bring them anywhere and everywhere. Buy them on the website at FredFlare.

Best Speakers for the Beach: iPod Boombox

I love this. Partly because the guy in the picture looks so hilarious. Want to relive the past days where boom boxes were a way of life? Now you can! You put your ipod into the center of the boom box and then it can be controlled by the buttons on the front.Purchase the boom box online at UrbanOutfitters.

Best Speakers for the Bathroom: iPod TP Roll

Yes. This is real. I could hardly believe it myself. Purchase this TP roll speaker system at OldFashionedValues.

Random: One more thing…

Ok last week I posted about what I purchased with my economic stimulus money…well add one more thing to that list.

Yes, I am now the proud owner of a Twins jersey. Yay! I guess now I can finally call myself a Minnesotan. You can buy them online here. I just bought mine on a whim at the game. Yay economic stimulus!

Wednesday Twins games are the BEST deal around here. Bring your student ID (which I am still using, even though I have been out of college for a while) and get a upper deck general admission ticket for $4. And even better…Wednesdays are Dollar Dome Dog night. So really…its cheaper to go to a game than go see a movie. And it really is more fun.

Check out the Twins schedule here.
