G4's series Filter will return on June 3 with a new look, tone and feel, as well as a new host - model/actress/swimsuit calendar icon, Beth Ostrosky. G4 has also named Olivia Munn as the new co-host of the live news program, Attack of the Show.

Casting Call: Do you have a gardening issue? Then HGTV's Gardening by the Yard with Paul James wants you! The show is looking for fun, energetic, articulate homeowners to appear as guests on the program. Note: this is not a makeover show, rather a program that deals with specific gardening problems or questions. If you are interested, send an email with a description of your gardening dilemma, contact information and digital photos of you and your garden to: lsteele@sfpseattle.com. DVD or VHS tapes + description and contact info to: Lauren Steele, Screaming Flea Productions, 5950 Sixth Ave. S, Suite 109, Seattle, WA 98108.

My favorite part of that casting call is "articulate".

Today is 4/20:

It's Earth Day.
It's the 7th Anniversary of Columbine.
I'm sure it's some sort of pot day or something.

NPR had a whole piece on 4/20 from the perspective of a mother of tweens/teenagers. It was fun.

[eyepoky.livejournal.com]

[fadingembers.livejournal.com]

On 4/20 the Columbine anniversary or 4/20 the drug code deal wtfever?

[eyepoky.livejournal.com]

although i did start work on my podcast
sent out emails to band
picked a name
got a gmail account
but still don't know how to use garbage band

[jaina.livejournal.com]

The drug code! It was presented in an amused tone because the mom wondered where her hippie cred went, because she had to ask what 4/20 was. Fun fact: no one really knows the direct origin of the date. Eep, it totally wasn't all "haha, school shootings are lighthearted!"

[jaina.livejournal.com]

You put them out to the curb Monday nights.

[wangch61.livejournal.com]

i wish it was free pot day.

[fadingembers.livejournal.com]

No, definitely not - I remember hearing 4/20 in high school, and Columbine didn't happen until my senior year. I vaguely remember someone saying it stems from the police code for drug possession. Maybe it's because it's on Earth Day, and all those damn hippies light up.

Next Wednesday is free cone day at Ben & Jerry's if it makes you feel better.

[eyepoky.livejournal.com]

monday nights?
won't the raccoons get to it?

[jaina.livejournal.com]

Apparently there are a whole bunch of things it could have stemmed from. I guess everyone was too stoned to remember which came first.

[fadingembers.livejournal.com]

I thought you pulled the string in back of Shirley Manson and she started up.

[jaina.livejournal.com]

That's what the electric traps are for.

[eyepoky.livejournal.com]

i bought a mac book pro
i have no money for traps

[eyepoky.livejournal.com]

[eyepoky.livejournal.com]

[eyepoky.livejournal.com]

[jaina.livejournal.com]

That's the best use for the PSP so far.

[wangch61.livejournal.com]

oh shit i just remebered it is my sisters b-day!
Her b-day is 4/20/1969.....you would think a person with that b-day would be much cooler.

Re: you guys are having fun with the fact i can't spell

[fadingembers.livejournal.com]

Actually, I thought you were making a disparaging comment about the quality of the program. But if not,

HA HA! YOU CAN'T SPELL!

[fadingembers.livejournal.com]

dude, there's like 500 million awesome numbers in that birthdate!

Joey Lawrence and Carmen Electra were also born today, but not in '69.

Re: you guys are having fun with the fact i can't spell

[eyepoky.livejournal.com]

do you want to (try to) podcast this weekend?

Re: you guys are having fun with the fact i can't spell

[eyepoky.livejournal.com]

no i can't

[fadingembers.livejournal.com]

And Joey Lawrence and Carmen Electra! They form a triumverate of evil and pop music.

This is the most educational thing I've read all day. Prior to this I didn't know one could be a swimsuit calendar "icon".

Is there an official induction ceremony, or is it more of an honorary title?

[fadingembers.livejournal.com]

Not so much an induction ceremony, but a REduction ceremony as she is shrunk to 100x100 pixels. OH!

[restivemind.livejournal.com]

So, you're saying the honor is just "titular" ? *rimshot*

It's my little brother's birthday! Holy shit he's 25.
