A few things to get out of my head:
Seriously, that Friday song is THE WORST. Go listen to it and I guarantee you'll wake up with that crappy tune bouncing around in your brain like a super ball. Stephen Colbert did some meta-clever cover of it on the Jimmy Fallon show and while I was smiling because Colbert is funny, I couldn't stop thinking "Why are you listening to this damn song?!?" So awful.
Speaking of awful, the Blazers are getting beat right now at HOME by 20 (!) to Golden State. Golden State...are you kidding me? This is why I hate NBA basketball. Players just don't care enough. Sure, the quality of basketball is better than college (as evident by that atrocious National Championship game..good lord), but they just don't care. Every NBA team takes off, I'm guessing, 10% of their games. Which blows. I don't go to games because I'm cheap and lazy (a winning combo), but if I was in the stands right now, I'm walking down to Paul Allen and asking for my money back (or, rather, walking toward Paul Allen and getting dragged off by security...okay, talking to everyone around me about walking toward Paul Allen but instead going to get $12 popcorn). The Blazers playoffs start now...right now. They need that sixth spot or better to play someone they might beat. Instead, they'll probably slide to seventh and play the Lakers and lose in five games. NBA...it's fannnntastic.
The proliferation of Do Not Attempt is reaching epic proportions. For example...Lexus commercial (I think) where the car is driving around on some zany city with roads that go straight up or upside down or are impossibly curvy and, yep, you guessed it. Do not attempt. Thanks for that...I'll make sure not to drive my new Lexus upside in some crazy future world. I know some lawyers, and they're delightful people. So I don't blame them. As I said, I blame stupid people, cause you know someone did something crazy like drive their car with the cardboard sunscreen still up in the windshield and crashed into a tree and sued. "How was I supposed to know I should move it before operating the vehicle? There was no warning!"
Also, how you like the one space after periods? I read somewhere that the old double space after period rule was dead, which, I must say, blew me away, not to mention it took me about three months to get used to. And I'm only half used to it as it is.
Last night I watched the first two episodes of "The Killing," a show on AMC. It was great. If you're not watching, you're dumb. It's one of the most beautifully shot shows I've seen a long time. The subject matter is tough, so be warned. It's about a high school girl that gets killed and the case to solve it, and follows it from murder to resolution. Each episode is a day in the investigation. I think the most interesting thing is that, before I had kids, stuff like this show would just wash over me. I'd still think it was great, but it wouldn't have the emotional impact it has now that I have kids. Tough not to at least imagine what it'd be like if something that awful happened to my little girl. So yeah, I gave her a big hug while she slept. That being said, great show. Watch.
Also, you should be watching "Justified" and "Fringe." Because I have awesome taste in everything. Now, time to get out of these plaid pants and hit the sack.
