Discontinuing Mole Blog

It's not fun taking notes while watching the show. So I'm not missing out anymore. Sorry!
I will however, post my suspicions every week.

The Mole, Episode 6

Welcome to my Mole, Season 5, Episode 6 blog. Did you enjoy the re-cap and unseen footage? Gotta love Alex.
I'm not going to give a complete summary, I'll give key details, and Mole suspicions. I tally all suspicions, which will add up at the end.


Grapes of Cache
Alex, Clay, and Mark are chosen as runners.
Craig, Nicole, and Paul are chosen as thinkers.

Thinkers have to answer questions, and they give the location of wine bottles, that Alex and Clay have to find.
Mark was chosen as their best athlete, and he runs a treadmill, which is the timer of the game. Each time they find a bottle, the treadmill speed increases.
Paul has to relay the answers/locations to Alex and Clay, who have a GPS system helping them find the wine bottles.
Each bottle is worth $10,000

I find it funny how Craig and Nicole couldn't answer the question with the months. They're stupid as hell. Checks for both of them.
Mark is not the mole. He was smart enough to answer the questions better than the bitch and fatty.
Nicole tried to keep a wrong answer on the board, and now Nicole and Paul get into some stupid fight. Check for Nicole.
Alex jokes about breaking the bottles and having a drink, and Clay takes it seriously. Ha ha. Funny guy.
Paul relayed the wrong answer to Alex and Clay, wasting their time, and Paul tried to blame Craig and Nicole. Check for Paul.
So they complete the mission, earning $70,000.
Pot Total: $247,000
Mark, I compliment you for running for 53 minutes and answering most of the questions. Good job!
Nicole didn't answer any of the questions. Check for Nicole.

--Commericial Break--

Craig also reveals Nicole doesn't take any notes. But neither did Dennis Rodman. And he won the game.
Mark has an idea to get Alex drunk before the next quiz.
Clay brings up the fact that Alex hasn't had an exemption, and he is still here.

Swing Out
On a bridge that's 90 feet above the Mendoza River,
They have to bungee, and leave a bag of tea in a bullseye, which is worth $10,000.
There are also outer rings to the bullseye, marked as $9,000, $8,000, and so on.
Nicole claims she doesn't want to jump. But she did Over the Falls! Check for her.

Mark is first. And is offered an exemption.
Everyone needs to guess the amount the total amount will be. Whoever is closest will get the exemption.
Mark guesses $10,000.
He doesn't hit it in the targets.

Paul is second, and calls Jon a sick individual, and insults him a little.
For the exemption, we don't know how much Paul guesses.
Paul misses completely.

Clay is third, we don't know what he guesses either.
He misses as much as Paul did. He thinks they moved the target.

Slike is fourth. He compares it to Over the Falls, and says it's more scarier.
We also don't know what he guesses. Before he jumps, he apologizes to his mom.
After we jumps, everyone's all like "Oh my god!" Then we cut to

--Commercial Break--

Now we're back to Craig jumping.
His bag doesn't go anywhere. Probably because he was screaming the whole time.
Nicole claims Craig's scream messed everything up. And Craig didn't miss the ground by much, according to Paul.

Alex is fifth. He's having second thoughts. But he jumps anyway.
We don't know what he guesses either.
His bag makes $4,000 for the pot.

Nicole goes last. Paul mocks Nicole, he's funny.
Her bag misses completely. Clay thinks her missing the target is Molish.

Alex was the only
Mission Total: $4,000.
Pot Total: $251,000.

Exemption Result:
We finally learned what everyone guesses.
Mark's Guess: $10,000
Paul's Guess: $12,000
Clay's Guess : $14,000
Craig's Guess: $20,000
Alex's Guess: $15,000
Nicole's Guess: $28,000

Everyone went over the limit. So no exemption.
Craig, Alex, and Nicole had the advantage! They saw everybody jump, they should've noticed how hard it was! Checks for all of them.
Alex claims he doesn't need an exemption. Check for him.
And Nicole leaving an exemption out in the open with a completely ridiculous answer. Check for her too.
I don't blame anyone for missing the target. I couldn't do any of that!

--Commercial Break--

Nicole and Clay trade information. Turns out she never wrote anything in her journal, and she claims she might get executed.
Clay and Mark go along with their plan to try and execute Alex by getting him drunk.

--Commercial Break--

So at the time of the quiz,
My "Mole" Tallies, and My Suspicions:
Alex - 2 - Suspect. A lot more than the last few episodes.
Clay - 0 - Not really suspect. But in the last few episodes, he is still a suspect.
Craig - 2 - Suspect.
Mark - 0 - Not the Mole.
Nicole - 6 - Pretending to be the Mole. But Suspect.
Paul - 1 - Suspect.

Player's Suspicions:
Alex - Nicole
Clay - Mark/Nicole/Paul
Craig - Nicole/Mark
Mark - Nicole
Nicole - We don't know. She might just be the Mole!
Paul - Nicole/Craig

The Quiz
I will not write the questions that were on the quiz, but just any notes that were said during previous confessions, and aired during the quiz.
Paul thinks if he's confident, he'll make it through the quiz.
He notes Craig might be the Mole, he gives wrong answers, no one ever blames him.
Clay suspects Paul for giving wrong coordinates.
Alex notes Nicole for being all scared at first, then jumping in perfect form.

The Execution
Alex........Gone!!
Man, I was like "Oohhh!!", and so was Craig, Mark, Nicole, and Clay.
Alex toke it very well. Mark wanted to go first.
Alex claims he liked going to the Andes. Clay liked Alex.
And Paul said he liked Alex for entertaining them. Nicole said she'll miss Alex.
So as the episode fades out, we hear Alex's guitar fade out with it.
I'm gonna miss Alex too. You're a great man, Rockwell.

Analysis
What in the hell is Nicole's problem?!?! She's either being a really big bitch, or the most obvious Mole. I suspect her so much right now. Let's call her the producers' mistake.
Mark and Clay have been benefitting the group even more than past episodes. They're coming off my radar.
Craig is also one of my suspects, just under Nicole. He can fuck up and not get blamed just because he's fat.
Paul, I'm not sure about him. I'll just have to see.
I never suspected Alex at all. I thought he was the best team player, and I'm glad he's not the Mole. He deserves that money more than anyone else out there.

Rockwell, I really am going to miss you. Please comment me on MySpace!

Also, if you're reading this, please visit SaveTheMole.com, and watch this video I made on YouTube. We need to save this show from being canceled by ABC!
If you love the Mole as much as I do, please help out!

See you next week.

P.S. I wrote this all down on the spot, as the show was going.

The Mole 5, 2008

So I need some things to talk about in my blog, so I choose this new show that's up, called the Mole. I've seen all 4 seasons before it, and I prefer the 2nd season out of all of them. It had the best games, the best strategies, and the best confessions. Blah blah blah and yeah.

I'm gonna rant about the future episodes and stuff. So expect me back this Monday.

I think Clay or Mark is the Mole.

R.I.P. Computer: c.2003 - May 5, 2008

Last night, the computer I've had ever since I was 9, died. Too many viruses fucked it up, and even after re-formatting, it still wouldn't work.

It has found it's new home in my shoe closet, however, a brand new Mac Mini will be replacing my son very soon.


R.I.P. Computer: c2003 - 5/5/2008


Coming soon!


Computer's Old Specs
80 GB + 30 GB Hard Drives
1 GB RAM
ATI All In Wonder 2006 Edition Video Card
Realtek Sound Card
DVD Burner and Reader

It'd be a better thing for everyone involved....

..man, nothing good to eat in the house.
Or drink. My soda supply is running out.

I'm also not very satisfied with the new Wake The Living song. If it were someone's first impression, we would fail big time.

*sigh*

April 23, 2008

Man. Haven't blogged in a long time.
Just wrote a new song and recorded it with my friends.

Enjoy, mes copains.

Also, happy two month anniversary of meeting TMBG!

.....damn good times.

I'm not paying for my drumset!

In the recent debate between Jason DeLima, and the DeLima parents, a decision was settled in which I don't have to pay for my $800 drumset.

I don't believe I ever told you guys about my drumset.

Ludwig Accent Kit w/ Hardware (around $300)
22" Bass Drum
16" Floor Tom
13" Tom
12" Tom
14" Snare

Sabian B8 Cymbals (around $300)
10" Splash
14" Crash
16" Crash
18" Crash
20" Ride
14" Hi Hats

Total: $600
Add in about 3 more cymbal stands, and a cymbal arm
Grande Total: Around $800. (Not including anything I got for it afterwards, like rings and drum sticks.)

And I'm not paying monthly for it. I'm saving up for a Saluda China.

But sadly I still have to pay for my unlimited texting service.
But that's okay.

They Might Be Giants - Borders - February 23rd, 2008

Even though this happened a week ago, I feel the need to put this in my blog so it doesn't seem all empty.

It was probably the best day of my life, first TMBG concert, first time meeting them.

I hope some of you saw me there, I was wearing a yellow shirt with a duck on it, like Homestar Runner, and I filmed the entire concert.

My mom woke me up at 8 AM, and we left the house at 9 AM. Train came at 10:25, and we landed in NYC at 12 PM. We went straight to Columbus Circle, and straight to where TMBG was performing.

To my surprise, I saw 2 people there setting up, one had glasses on. I didn't believe it at first, but the people were Marty Beller and John Linnell. I was going to have a heart attack. Pretty soon, John Flansburgh came, and I started spotting more people, like Marty's kids, and Robin Goldwasser and stuff. It was REALLY cool to have been within 4 feet of everyone there. The Johns also look so much older in person. I filmed 2 songs they performed at soundcheck, "Flying V" and "Apartment Four". While messing around at the soundcheck, Linnell had fun with the "Robot Parade" voice, and playing a bit of "Alphabet Lost And Found." Flansbo was also trying to find a microphone setting that would make him sound like he was on the radio, which foreshadowed something...

My mom and I sat in the same spot until 3 PM, when the concert was starting. All the little kids and their parents got to sit on the floor in front of TMBG, and the adults without kids had to stay behind them. I got to stand to the right, and my angle during most of it was pretty awesome. As more people came, the more we had to move back. I chatted up with some cool people there, like the people standing next to us, and I met someone that co-runs TMBW.net. It was all really cool.

When John, John, and Marty started walking up there, everyone started clapping and cheering. They started out the show with a pretty cool rendition of "Alphabet of Nations." I love how they tried to replicate the echoes by just screaming them into their Shure microphones. After the song ended, they joked about how some kids complained that "West Xylophone" wasn't a real country. It was pretty silly. Then they played "Apartment Four" for the second time ever, well live at least. Their songs from "Here Come The 123s" were a real treat to hear, as they were the first times they've ever played it live. Some kids pushed over one of their signs, and apparently everyone noticed it. The Johns joked about that as well claiming "we have really good insurance.

They introduced the next song as "a song we originally wrote for adults, but we somehow found it relates to children." They started playing the riff to "Doctor Worm", and in my excitement, I yelled pretty loud. That song's my freaking theme song. Rabbi Vole played a bass solo this time, haha. After that they started playing "Pirate Girls Nine", another good "Here Come The 123s" theme. Linnell singing the girl parts was pretty funny. I like their pirate accents too. After that, all the little childrens sitting in front of us were told to stand up, which wasn't a good for me trying to film the concert. Flansy told all the adults in the back to lie down. Well otherwise, I was really glad because they were getting into "Clap Your Hands", which is a very enjoyable experience for anyone, even if they've never heard of TMBG. When Flansburgh screamed "Everyone scream again!", I heard a lot of silly screams from little kids, some kid screamed as if he was being killed, that gave me a really good chuckle, and Flansburgh probably heard it too, because he commented "that was such a bad idea, but thank you so much!"

The next part of the show completed my life to the max. Everyone started sitting down, and John Flansburgh announces "we have a special treat from the imaginary drum riser." Marty took center stage to perform one of the greatest kids song ever- Alphabet Lost And Found. The whole concert I was waiting for it to be performed, because according to TMBW.net, the song was only played live 13 times, and it wasn't on any downloadable show. Marty enjoys dancing a lot, and interacting with the audience and Linnell. He has quite a good voice. Beller is my hero. After that they played "Flying V", "One Dozen Monkeys", "Particle Man" and "Bed Bed Bed." I'll tell you about them another day, because I'm tired. That was the end. And there was a little kid crying because they didn't play "Robot Parade." I was crying on the inside too. Stupid sound check teased me!

Meeting them was my favorite part. All 3 of them vowed to staying until everyone got what they wanted signed, and I found that really nice. When I came up, I was so damn happy. John Flansburgh looks at me, and says "Hey come up here." I handed him the covers to my "The Else", "Here Come The ABCs" and "Here Come The 123s" albums. I was really happy when he asked me what my name was, and the two Johns really made it personal when they wrote my name on my albums. I got to stand behind the two Johns (4 inches away!!!!) and take a picture. John Linnell wasn't looking at the camera, but who cares? I got to breathe the same air as them!

Meeting Marty was awesome. I got to talk to him a little bit. He signed a drumstick for me, and took a picture with me. His autograph says "Marty Beller! Drums!" It's the coolest thing ever. I'm so glad I got to meet the best drummer in the world, and my favorite musicians ever.

Oh, and the girl who lent me the red sharpie, I kinda never gave it back, sorry lol.

The entire concert and soundcheck is up for grabs on my YouTube. You can find some more about this on this page. A photo album will be up soon with the whole show. Thanks TMBG for an awesome concert!



Oh it's pointless staying up for even twenty seconds more
When everything has happened and there's nothing else in store
The thing is now to lay my head down, close my eyes, and snore
And so to bed directly I gooooo..........
