Leondro DiCaprio Fanhome: friday update

Hello Blogospheres! Blogosphere is the name for people who read BLOGS! Seeing how you are all reading this BLOG, you are all blogospheres!

So it is Friday, and I felt it was in order to give you an update on a few things near and dear. We shall start with the...

NBA PLAYOFFS UPDATE!!

Western Conference:
Phoenix 1 - Dallas 1
San Antonio 2 - Seattle 1

Good matchups, and suprisingly competitive thusfar...

Eastern Conference:
Detroit 1 - Indy 1
Miami 3 - Wash. 0

Speaking of Miami, Zo' started in Shaq's place last night and went 5 of 8 for 14 pts. 13 rbs. and 4 blocked shots. We traded Vince Carter for Zo', and he played what some are calling the best game of his career for the Heat last night.

...but for those of you who aren't so into hoops, how about an:

IDOL UPDATE!!

My man Bo Bice is still putting the "rock" back in "Amer-ROCKIN' Idol". This week he laid down the theme song to The Apprentice while wearing a black suit, aviators, flip-flops and a diamond-crusted dollar-sign belt buckle. It was the best thing I have ever seen, in my life. Randy responded with: "All I can say is, when your album comes out that song better be on it!"

Like Buttah'

And then Wednesday rolled around and saw Anthony Federov sent packing. Bo Bice is your next American Idol. Believe me, I am never wrong about these things. And no, Leo's Oscar prediction does not count as one of "these things".

Speaking of which...

LEO DICAPRIO UPDATE!!!

Though I don't talk about him so much anymore, Leo is still very much the life-blood of this website. For instance, just this week Leo called me and was like: Mar Flan! Who loves you baby? And I was all: Yo Leo, I gotta respond to your question in rhyming couplets as it's the only way I can properly express myself...

Leo, my friend, you most lovely fellow,
Come to my house, where we can eat Jello,

I'll show you my gameboy, my Playstation 2,
My new bright blue sneakers, my dandruff shampoo,

I'll show you and tell you all about me,
And I'll make you a sandwich: tomato and brie!

Your Favorite! I know! You are one of the greats,
I spend time in chatrooms, researching your tastes!

We'll be having such fun, the time will fly past,
Me and my Leo, together at last.

WORK UPDATE!!

I met a guy from Hong Kong at the office this week, and he told me a story as we looked down on City Hall. He told me about the old Hong-Kong Zoo, which closed about five years ago, and was roughly the size of City Hall's grounds. It resembled a run-down farm, or country fair, more than a zoo, and they really only had two animals of any significance: One was a lion, weathered and flea-bitten, sitting in its tiny cramped cage. It stopped eating properly because it was so unhappy, and so you could see its ribs through its sides, like the backside of corrugated cardboard.

The other animal was, in his words, "a tiny, midget elephant". I laughed at this description, thinking it was a figure of speech. He corrected me, saying that it was an honest to goodness midget elephant, so only children could ride on it because it was so small and weak. And the children would indeed ride it, all day lining up to have a ride on the little elephants back, round and round on its little track, each and every day.

And that was it. The zoo then closed five years back and that was the end. Such a sad story. Kind of reminded me a bit of the Parking Lot Farm. I am not really sure why I am recounting it, I guess I just wish it had a happier ending.

IMPROV UPDATE!!

So every Wednesday I go to improv class from 8 to 10:30. It has been lots of fun so far, but people keep asking me "What did you do at improv?", and I have had a hard time answering. This past week was week five, so I figured I might as well get everyone up to speed:

WEEK 1:
