Sun Is Blue

• I don't know if anyone remembers a link I posted a while ago about an iPhone game called Rolando, but it was released today. I haven't played it yet, but the initial reviews are extremely positive.
• Northwestern's Kellogg School of Management accidently sent out 50 acceptance letters to students that they actually rejected. They are reimbursing those students the $235 application fee after informing them that they are actually rejected. Ouch. Would it really hurt Northwestern that much to just keep those 50 students? Instead they are hugely burning those 50 kids.
• Aaron Rose, Serena's noobenstein boyfriend on Gossip Girl is leaving the show.
• Here's a trailer for the movie I Love You, Man. Cast includes: Paul Rudd, Jason Segal, Rashida Jones, Andy Samberg, and the Dad from Juno. Looks pretty hilar.
• Rolando Review
• SimCity Review
• Kristen Wiig Interview by one of my favorite bloggers. The interview actually isn't that great...and doesn't really give any good info, but I know Lizzie is a huge fan so I figured I'd post it.
• Sweet fat-face tattoo, Tyson.
  

Another slow day of post-worthy news. Mark comes in today for the holidays. He'll be here tonight through December 27th I believe. Super pumped about that. Devon will also be here from the 20th - 24th.

• I realize hardly any of you use Twitter, but for those of you that do, here's a cool idea called StatTweets. It's basically like "following" a sports team on Twitter. You get stat updates, schedule updates, game lines, etc. I'm now following the Bulls, NU Basketball, UNC Basketball, and the Bears.
• Jessica Alba, Jack Black, and Cloris Leachman will all be guest-starring on The Office soon.
• Someone from The Price Is Right bid on their Showcase Showdown and guessed exactly right...but I gotta say, Drew Caray's reaction is really disappointing...no excitement whatsoever...lame.
• SimCity is now available on the iPhone / iPod Touch.
• Drew Peterson is engaged...again...how much money do you think people would pay not to be his wife? I would have never guessed there was someone out there that was willing to do it for free -- talk about a death wish.
• Child named Adolf Hitler denied birthday cake. Ridiculous article. Plenty of unintentional comedy. (credit: Lizzie)
  

No updates yet for today. Check out the stuff below if you haven't yet.

• Besides being a good team, the Blackhawks are also pretty sweet dudes.
• Lost will NOT be interrupted this year.
• Here is a link to a leaked Wolverine trailer.
• Wikipedia just came out with it's own iPhone application called Wikipedia Mobile (iTunes link). I was hoping it was going to be free, but it's still at a very reasonable price of $2.99. The amount of bar arguments that I've had settled because of Wikipedia makes this an easy purchase.
• I forgot to mention that Apple has released in-ear headphones that are compatible with the iPhone / iPod Touch. Supposedly they are really good. Zurek, can you leave a comment here and let me know what you've heard about them? Also, I've heard conflicting reports about whether or not they work with the Phone feature of the iPhone (answering / ending calls with the clicker thing). What's the deal?
• New York magazine came out with its Reasons to Love New York 2008 issue and their number one reason was, "Because Obama Is One of Us, Despite All That Business About Chicago." Get over yourself, New York. (source: Chicagoist)
  

Big Bears win last night -- even though the chances of them making the playoffs are still pretty slim. There will be a lot of Cardinals fans in Chicago this weekend. On to some links for the weekend:

• It's too bad the rumors of a Gossip Girls spin-off (which actually sounded cool) ended up being not true
• A new sci-fi comedy written by the super cool dudes of It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia looks like it may get picked up by Fox.
• Spin came out with its Best Albums of 2008 list.
• Chris Weitz (Golden Compass director) has been tabbed as the new director for New Moon.

More to come throughout the day and the weekend...hopefully.
