TGIF and Jessica Alba

Man do I need a weekend. My friends joke with me that I'm living the life these days, but truth is, unemployment ain't all it's cracked up to be. As a matter of fact, it's kind of depressing.

So for all you guys at work today, enjoy your weekend. I'm sure you'll appreciate it more than I will.

On a brighter note, Yankees2000 has pictures, thanks to a clever discovery by AFOMG in which he pressed one button on the home page that says "Pictures". Yup, we are really starting to get the hang of this blogging thing.

As I'm sitting here, having endured a 2-1 night that saw a bullshit three by the Illini destroy my dreams of a perfect 3-0, followed by a depressing Warriors loss, I, like many of you on your hungover Friday, need a pick me up.

So today, we pay tribute to Ms. Yankees2000.

This young talent needs little introduction. She broke into our hearts with her stunning performance in "Flipper", parlayed that into a lead role in the Devon Sawa smash, "Idle Hands" and truly won our hearts as Honey Daniels, a dancer/choreogragpher who sets out to steer her neighborhood's youths in the right direction while keeping it real, in the 2003 smash, "Honey".

Here she is, Ms. Yankees2000, Jessica Alba, posing in an exclusive photo shoot with the Y2K staff down in St. Croix.

















Using my one swanky Hollywood connection, I was actually able to grab a few minutes with Jessica who was sweet enough to give our little site a few moments of her invaluable time. Let's just say that this was the greatest phone call of my life.

SM: Hey Jessica, thanks for coming out.
JA: Very happy to be here, Sip. What's up?

SM: First off, how do you feel about being named Yankees2000's Biscuit of the Millennium?
JA: Haha, it's a real honor. Can't say I know much about your site, but I have heard good things and so I am definitely honored.

SM: Well we are honored that you are honored. So are you much of a sports fan?
JA: Actually, I am. I played a ton of sports as a kid, I was kind of a tomboy growing up so I played everything -- softball, basketball, tennis.

SM: But now you are such a biscuit!
JA: Quit it, Sip. But thank you!!!

SM: So what are some of your favorite teams?
JA: Well actually Sip, you're gonna like this. I grew up a huge Mets fan. Back in '86 I used to sit there with my father and watch all the games. I was 5 at the time so I'm just barely able to remember anything. But I loved that team. They were a ton of fun. So I've kind of stuck with the Mets since then.

SM: Those are the sexiest words these ears have ever heard. So what are your thoughts on next year's team?
JA: Honestly, I'm a little out of it these days, but I heard about Delgado and Wagner so that should help us a lot. Delgado's VoRP blows everything Doug Mientkiewicz and the rest of them managed to do last year right out of the water, plus Wagner's K-per-9 stats are out of this world next to Looper's.

SM: Wow.
JA: Yeah. I think they could win the division. Let's hope.

SM: So who's your favorite Met?
JA: Are you serious? Do you even have to ask that? Let's just say he's got the "Wright stuff".

SM: Yeah, we love him here too, almost as much as you. Word on the street is that you once went out with Derek Jeter. What the hell were you thinking?
JA: You jerk! I knew you'd bring that up. Let's just say Derek has that Tom Cruise thing going on. You know the whole, "I don't like women, but I need people to think I do". So we would go out for pizza and be spotted. In all honesty it was good publicity for me when my career was just starting to grow, and it got people off his back. But let's just say I don't think he's a very big fan of people like me.

SM: That's what we thought.
JA: Oops, can you cut that out?

SM: Afraid not, Jess. Can I call you Jess?
JA: No problem, that's what all my friends call me.

SM: So your birthday is April 28th. So is mine. Do you think there is something there?
JA: Of course, Sip. I love unemployed bloggers. You guys are much cooler than A-list celebrities and dudes named Paris.

SM: Thanks, Jess, needed that one. Anyway, I think it's about time we wrap it up. Anything else you want to say to your many fans here at Yankees2000?
JA: LET'S GO METS!!!

SM: You are perfect

That was probably the greatest 7 minute phone conversation of my life. Not sure what else to say.

Have a good weekend, all.

Check out A&E for what will be a weekend filled with "Point Break" and HBO Z for at least 5 showings of "Honey".

Vaya con dios,

SM
