As anyone who follows me on Twitter knows, I recently adopted a kitten. After a long and arduous search, one that included visiting tons of shelters, browsing PetFinder.com, and attending adoption events, I found the perfect guy for me at Denver Municipal Animal Shelter. His name is Señor Macho Solo (after 30 Rock) and he’s a lynx point Siamese. He’s sweet and playful and has boundless energy, something that encouraged me to find him a companion so he wouldn’t be so bored when I’m gone during the day.

The search began again as I tried to find the perfect sidekick for little Macho. I checked out the websites of various shelters, including Boulder Humane Society where I got two precious kittens as a child. Knowing that many shelters don’t haven time to constantly update their websites, and that there would likely be an influx of new kittens after Christmas as people “returned” their “gifts”, I decided to make a stop at MaxFund Animal Shelter in Denver. Widely publicized as a no-kill shelter that truly values the lives of animals, MaxFund seemed like a place where I could find a little buddy for Macho and feel good about supporting such a good cause. Little did I know what kind of insensitive and irresponsible behavior I would encounter.

I was super excited to see Sendhil Ramamurthy back on tonight’s episode of Heroes. That show is bursting at the seams with hot guys (see: Zachary Quinto) but Ramamurthy always manages to be a scene-stealer for me. While watching tonight, I realized that he looks a bit like another uberhottie… Orlando Bloom.

Since many people argue that the writing on Heroes has gone down hill since the first season, let’s just focus on something we can agree on: that Sendhil Ramamurthy is a total babe.

The title of this post says it all. Here’s the posters for Failure to Launch and How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. They’re basically the exact same image of Matthew McConaughey leaning on his blonde co-star (Sarah Jessica Parker in one, Kate Hudson in the other) in some light background. If I was still doing weaktwin.com, I’d have put this up there, but that’s a whole different story.

I did another interview about the NBA and social media. This one was with Rey-Rey from TheNoLookPass.com. We started this interview way back in April and didn’t officially finish it until last week. Check it out!

I recently talked to Alexis Gentry, the daughter of Phoenix Suns’ head coach, Alvin Gentry. I thought she’d be a good person to talk to when it comes to NBA-related stuff. I mean, being an NBA coach’s daughter, I thought she could provide a view on what it’s like to be in that position. Alexis also runsTrashwire.Com, a very good entertainment news site that has TV, movie, and concert reviews among other things. Also, if you’re into Big Brother, check that out as well.

Ms. Gentry was kind enough to answer all the questions I had in the E-Mails we exchanged and was quite candid in this conversation. I’m in purple and Alexis is in orange. It’s no secret what team she roots for. Duh.

If you haven’t already seen my tweets about this, here’s a link to my interview with ValleyoftheSuns.com about the NBA and social media. Check it out!

When Suns head coach @AlvinGentry first started tweeting, he credited his daughter for getting him to join Twitter.

So who better to go to for the second part of ValleyoftheSuns’ in-depth look at social media and the NBA than Alexis Gentry herself?

OK, so the head coach has only sent out a happy Fourth of July tweet since the draft lottery, but he provided some insightful commentary on the Suns’ season last year and promises to do so again this season.

Alexis answered a couple of my questions via e-mail about how her dad got on Twitter, what grade she’d give him as a tweeter and what she’s doing with her entertainment Web site, Trashwire.com.
