You may have seen Urbane's San Francisco map, in which areas of the city are named by what they are known for instead of their actual name (for example, the Sunset district was translated into, "Well, the cab rejected me again, claiming I live too far from everything else.").
Urbane has recently released their latest map for the "Yay Area," renaming every city from Novato to Los Gatos with what they've observed in that particular area. We're definitely only going to refer to the East Bay Hills as "Hills of Income Separation" from now on.
Fans of the satirical workplace comedy Office Space will love the new techie sitcom Silicon Valley, which chronicles several software engineers working to be successful in, you guessed it, Silicon Valley. Both are written and produced by Mike Judge, who also brought us the popular cartoons Beavis and Butt-Head and King of The Hill, as well as the quirky comedies Idiocracy and Extract.
The show will star T.J. Miller (She's Out of My League), Thomas Middleditch (Wolf of Wall Street), and Zach Woods (Gabe from The Office).
WARNING: SEASON SPOILER ALERT
Well folks, we are nearing the end, and instead of a steady build up of excitement, it's like someone is slowly letting the air out of our balloon. It's no wonder that Reality Steve's prediction is that Juan Pablo ends up with no actual engagement to anyone. He's not really smitten with anyone and they, in turn, aren't really in love with him. How do I know? Gurl, I've been watching this show since it's inception! The look on Ryan and Trista's face when they were together on dates said it all: Damn, I'm falling for this person. (They are, as you know, still married, and seemingly happily so.) So yes, gentle reader, I get all of my Life Lessons in Love from watching The Bachelor, and my radar tells me that this flop of a season will further flounder on the shores of amour.
This week was the hometown dates, which is usually one of the best things about this show. We get to see the stern dads, and the asshole brothers, and most importantly, the socio-economic class from which the Bachelorette has sprung (yeah, I'm a nerd). Most all of the meetings went pretty well, with zero tension, though the aforementioned lack of passion and heart were indeed present. Watching Juan Pablo try to explain to various people why their daughter/sister was still there on the show with him was painful at times. He's not feeling it.
When we were young, we watched our fair share of garbage TV during the summer, and one of our favorites was when Maury would bring on goth and punk teens to give them wholesome makeovers.
Now, we get to relive those days in these short clips on YouTube, from the British show, Snog Marry Avoid. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the reality show, it's based on the premise of giving people makeunders -- removing their makeup and changing up their wardrobe.
The clips are addictive, so give yourself some time to watch these quick transformations.
