I got thoughts, yo.
Some Thoughts:
- The fact that Amy Robach is older than me is a fracking travesty. She’s beautiful and looks like a thirty year old, which makes me feel sickeningly old at this very moment. I only first saw her when I was watching her interview with Carrie Fisher on GMA. Now that Carrie chick is more than half-crazy. Yet I love her so.
- Physical attractiveness is a huge part of the newscaster life. You gotta be someone people want to look at–if you’re a lady that is. The dudes seem to get hired simply because…
- Remember GJ-1132b. Many scientists tout it as the best chance to find life outside of our solar system…
- Also remember Garett Swasey who was recently buried. He died defending the people of a Planned Parenthood clinic that came under terrorist attack (not the muslim variety. The other sociopolitical variety). A lot of people, including myself, give police crap for the bad ones. He wasn’t one of the bad ones.
- Now to the local police of my tiny little town: Stop pulling me over. Stop following me. Stop acting like it is random. It isn’t. Just in case you were wondering, I’m not a thug.
- HTC’s new commercial with echoes of Orwell’s 1984 is trying very hard to draw allusions to some very powerful ideas and imagery but doing so in a juvenile way. Senseless parkour moments and overreaching–especially at the end when all of this high drama boils down to getting a pretty girl’s attention. Weak sauce, HTC.
- Also weak sauce Dodge. Even my kids noticed how terrible the wordplay was on your ‘The Dodge Side’ commercial. No. Just no. I hate the rampant commercialization of Star Wars with a end cap in every store and commercials everywhere. Yes, the show is a cultural touchstone, but does every touchstone have to be corrupted by capitalism?
- Clemson v. UNC came down to one of two things: a ref on the take or a ref who wasn’t doing his job very well. He called a phantom offsides call that cost UNC an onside kick recovery and, as a result, the game. Now what made it ever better was hat the offsides wasn’t even called on a particular player and upon review, nobody on the UNC side was even close to being offsides. That reeks of suspicion. It also isn’t the first time this season a game in that conference ends on a bad call.
- Dealing with a broken finger still. I thought it was just a sprain, but that seems less and less likely. I wish I could heal like a 20 yr old again.
