As Woody Allen said, the heart wants what it wants. So, why are you here?

11 Points

I wanted to share my latest discovery - the 11 Points Blog, where a TV writer just makes lists of 11 things. Simple concept, great execution - he does the research to make all the posts funny, which is something I can never find the energy to do, myself. It's like Book Of Ratings before the guy stopped writing and decided to just make a crummy webcam show.

I'm still poking through the archive, but here's a couple posts that are early favorites:

• 11 Early Roles The Cast of "Lost" Wishes We'd All Forget (Josh Holloway in an Old Navy commercial with Fran Drescher and a chimp! Evangeline Lilly in a Canadian phone sex ad!)
• 11 Damn Near Identical Movies That Were Released At The Same Time (The Illusionist Vs. The Prestige makes the list, and yes, he has the common sense to pick The Prestige as the better movie)
• 11 Terms That Are Too Cute For What They Actually Mean (Number one on the list: "friendly fire.")

Fantastic internet time-waster.
