The waters run still in Apoloville. Ooooo, so eerily quiet . . .

Last night I was watching the Tonight Show, which is unusual since I think Jay Leno is a low-brow dumbass who rarely makes me laugh. However, Keanu Reeves was on. The homosapien still has it. Keanu, Keanu, cool breeze over the mountain. I have been in love with him since I was like, I dunno, 10. He’s so mellow and centered. Sure he’s got the spacey surfer dude image (and what is wrong with that?!), but he’s not a put on. He may not be a genius (Who knows, maybe he is.), but he has a sincere intellectual quality. Here’s a purr for my old love. *purrrrrrrrrrrr*

Have I ever said anything about enlarging Russian penises or long, nappy brown hair?  Who ever was lookin’ for a naked Ann Curry was sadly disappointed when they found Dark Blades. And I couldn’t be happier about the overall, widespread disappointment of all those searchers. What? No one browses for Apolo Ohno anymore?

Actually, I did a little research. Looks like you can’t find Dark Blades in a browser anymore by just typing in Apolo Ohno. It’s a conspiracy! a conspiracy!!!

Site Update
 Just moved November and December Babbles to the Morgue. They were too small to justify separate pages.  :(

Happy Sunday evening! How's it goin’?

Dark Blades’ Wallpaper
For a while now, Pirate Apolo has been in the back of my head, but I never have been able to get him on the site. That is until now. He’s out and on our first desktop wallpaper offering. Click here or on the Wallpaper link under DB Reports & Reviews. Hope you enjoy! If you have any probs downloading, just email us.

Apolo on TV
Did you see Apolo on the CBS Early Show yesterday morning? It was brief and almost a little weird. Like, I am so not used to seeing him on TV anymore. (I am still lobbying for the 24-hour Apolo channel. Can someone get a petition started on that?) Man, oh man! Someone went to town on his head. He had some seriously tight braids. It looked pretty neat tho'. I bet he loves having people do his hair, touch his head. I do. I love getting scalp massages and all that. It just relaxes me into a coma. Love it!

Anyway, it was fun to see Apolo. They showed a little bit of home video from his 13th birthday. It was cute.

Here's the fun thing: He mentioned our old pals Ohno Zone! He talked about how his new site will be finished next month, but in the meanwhile people can get info at sites like OZ. I laughed out loud. That was so awesome. I bet Noelle, the OZ site mistress, is on cloud 9 right now.

In fact, Ohno Zone has the video you can download from their site. So, if you did miss it, no worries. You can watch it on your computer. 

So, get your Dark Blades wallpaper, head over to the OZ to get your video, then leave those guys a nice note for all the hard work they do over there keeping us informed.  ||:) <

Apolo On TV
Did you miss it too? Apparently my heartache was on the Best Damn Sports Show Period Friday night while I was on a flight home. Grrrr.  I didn’t even find out until I got online yesterday. Double grrrr.

Maybe someone out there will come up with a transcript or something. Until then, check out this link to screen grabs I found on the ever-dynamic Ohno Zone.

Site Updates
1.  Though we think we’ll probably keep “… for Apolo fans with a dark side.” As our tagline, we wanted to have a little fun with it. So, you’ll notice when you log onto the home page the tagline changes under the logo once in a while.

2.  I decided to take down the last picture we hung up in the Messin’ With Nature exhibit of Fantasy Pics. It always bothered me. I thought it kinda sucked. I can’t believe I ever posted it. So, it is down for good or until I fix it to my satisfaction.

3.  Okay, well, I can’t take something down without posting something up. After a long period of neglect I posted up a new old convo in Voyeur.  Check it out when you are bored, and don’t forget to have those Apolo issues of W and Sports Illustrated For Women out and ready for reference.

(BTW, if you went to check out the Best Damn Sports Show Period home page, you might have noticed they have a link called Voyeurism. Those fuckers. They stole the concept from us. Losers! Way to go jack-offs!)

What are you doing online?
The World Short Track Championships from Warsaw, Poland are on ABC today. Times vary per broadcast area, so go check out your local listings.

Remember that Superstars competition Apolo was in last year? It also is airing again this weekend. Now, I doubt it is the same one he was in last year, but you never know. So, you can look out for that too if you are just lounging in front of the tube all weekend – not that there is anything wrong with that.  ||: ) <

Woohoo! I am home! You guys, I have been so fucking busy. Holy Hell! My cat and my fish are like, “Who the fuck are you?” And I’m like, “The fuckin’ bread winner, assholes!” Okay. I didn’t say that. Of course, if I did, they wouldn’t understand me anyway. They don’t speak English.  Well, I am home now and relaxing. *sigh* *stretches out toes in kitty cat fashion* Meow!

Dark Blades, Year One
Some random point this evening will mark one year on the Web for Dark Blades. I can’t believe we are still here. I mean, what is the matter with us? With me? We must be mental! 

 “You are special just the way you are.”  

Thank you, Mister Rogers.  
You will always mean the world to me.

TV Stuff
Kids, don’t forget to watch for the Emperor on Hollywood Squares all this week starting tomorrow. Times vary per area, so check your local listings. Try the Yahoo TV directory.

Two of our favorite badass stalker chicks, Abigail and Molly, attended the show taping and said, “Anton does NOT disappoint - giggles and hair flips GALORE!”

So don’t miss it or you’ll hate yourself later.

What’s a Wonder Ball? It’s a big ol' hollow chocolate ball with Sweet Tarts inside. Exciting, huh?!

Apolo Goes to Hollywood
Looks like the rumors may be true. Check out this post I read from an Apolo Yahoo Group.

“According to an official e-mail response I received from Hollywood Squares, Apolo is scheduled to tape Hollywood Squares this Sunday, Jan. 19.  The episodes are scheduled to air Feb. 24-28.”

That should be interesting. Hmmmm . . .

Contestant X:  “I’ll take the Emperor AO for the win, Ted. Jack. Pete. Whatever your name is.”

Host:  “Okay Apolo, for the win, according to a recent survey, who is the ‘hottest’ man on the planet? You or you?”

Apolo:  “Uh, Ted, Jack, Pete, whatever-your-name-is, the answer would be me.”

Host:  “Do you agree or disagree, Velma?”

Contestant X:  *silently pensive*

Host:  “Velma, I need an answer.”

Contestant X:  “Frank, Mitchell, Chet, Floyd, whatever-your-name-is, this is really a stupid show. Apolo, how long will it take for you to repel from that box you’re in and meet me in the backseat of my Beetle parked in the back lot?”

Apolo:  “2 minutes!”

Host:  “That’s the correct answer! X gets the center square!  . . . Velma?”

*Contestant X has disappeared, and Apolo is repelling from the set via Whoopi’s leftover hair extensions.*

Bruce Vilanche:  “This show has gone to hell.”

Paul Lynde from the grave: “I haven’t seen a show this exciting since 1976 when I electrocuted myself at the site of George Goble going down on Betty White’s square. Or do I mean triangle? Or do I mean box?!! Hardee. Har. Har.”

Happy New Year! You made it!

This really is my favorite holiday. You can celebrate the great moments from the previous year and at the same time toss aside all the crap – learn from the mistakes and move on. You can look to the New Year with all hope and optimism. It is a blank piece of paper before you. No lines. No color. No eraser marks even. It is pure potential in a 12-month package.

I wish you all the best as you put your pen to paper and draw up a joyful year of beauty, accomplishment, and love. 

Cheers to us all! *raising my glass of mint ice tea to you*
