A bundle of good news and notes...

- Chicago White Sox pitcher Mark Buhrle threw a perfect game today, only the 18th in MLB history. As a Chicago sports fan, I'm extremely proud of my boy.

- The new season of "Man v. Food" premieres August 5th on the Travel Channel. If you've never seen this show, you should catch it. Adam Richman is one of my life's heroes. While you're on the Travel Channel, be sure to check out Tony Bourdain and Andrew Zimmern as well.

- All sorts of great news is coming out of Comic-Con 2009: Sam Raimi is directing the Warcraft movie, Avatar looks fucking sweet in 3D, Archie is marrying Veronica, a new Tetsuo movie, an adaptation of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, and Alice in Wonderland's teaser premiered. I can't wait for The Hobbit news that's supposed to be coming out of the Con soon...

- The new 311 album, Uplifter, is balls. You should totally check it out. One of the best albums of the year so far (and one of the best in a while), along with Patterson Hood's Murdering Oscar.

- I wrote fictional work today for the first time in months. I think my writer's block might be crumbling a bit. Fingers crossed... I'm ready to get my filmmaking career off the ground.

- Speaking of which, Yellowberri Films will soon be working on our friend Josh Keown's (of Hot Hot Japan Hot) webshow, "The Pearl and I", for Funny or Die. Perhaps this is why my creative juices are flowing again.
