I have a new obsession, and it's name is Final Fantasy 10. I play every night until my eyes bleed out of their sockets. It's ridiculous. Even now, I am thinking of when I will be able to play next. It's absurd.

Okay, so I saw David Cross do stand up last night. Our seats were front and center. No. I mean, FRONT and CENTER. I was practically looking up his nose the entire night. It was pretty exciting (in an obviously adolescent way) to be so close to the subject of my most recent obsessive celebrity crush, but it was also kind of scary. Whenever I have seats that close to the stage at a comedy show, I have this dread feeling that the comedian will ask me a question or try to include me in the show in some way. There was none of that last night, thank god.

You know, even though he was very funny last night, he was just off, somehow. He looked tired. Of course, there were moments of David Cross brilliance, but nothing like in "The Pride is Back," his HBO special. But he did a bit about how he hates people who use the word "literally" incorrectly that had me howling, I admit ("Dude, I was laughing so hard, I literally shit my pants.").

Here's what was irritating, though: He spent about 20 minutes talking about politics and how much he hates George Bush. Now, although my political opinions tend to be pretty similar to his, it was still irritating to hear him rant and rave and not even be funny about it. I mean, please, David. Just because you're famous doesn't mean anyone gives a rat's ass about your political viewpoints. And if I ever see him in person again, I think I'll tell him that. I think he'll appreciate it, don't you?

Ultra Baby Fat opened for him. They're from Atlanta, and they're pretty good. I bought their CD, even. 'Cause you know me, I like to be on the hip, alternative, cutting edge.
