MIDNIGHT SNACK: "And Singin, 'Fun! Fun! Fun!"
Some random thoughts as I put the kibosh on my independent study of John Dickinson (who, surprise, surprise, didn't suck!)
1) For Marc: I saw a Safari today. But it just wasn't any Safari, it was a "Safari XT," and looked a hell of a lot like the A-Team van. I couldn't help but think the XT stood for "X-Treme" making it the (whisper) Safari (shout) X-TREEEEEEEEEEEMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
2) Nice to see that the Real Oliver Perez finall made it north from Bradenton. I hope he brought the team's bats with him.
3) This week's 24 had the best ending of the season thus far. Chloe, ASSAULT rifle in hand UNLOADS on "Evil Terrorist Flunkie of the Week (c)TM" The coolest part was thinking they were as good as dead when the guy started shooting into the car, only to find the glass to be bulletproof. Just great writing there.
4) Did anybody out there own the Mad Scientist Monster Lab? You basically took plastic skeletons, built monsters out of them with a play-doh-like substance, and then dropped them into a vat of "acid" and watched them disintegrate, all as their eyes and shit fell out. They don't make 'em like that anymore. One of the coolest playsets I ever had.
5) While shopping in Wal*Mart with Carolyn last night (update: we're friends again), I came across the NEW AND IMPROVED DARTH VADER HELMET SET. I'm pretty sure I could fit MY massive head into this thing, and it comes with a full three-piece helmet and voice-synthesizer kabob. If someone wants to send me this as a grad present, I PROMISE to use my unemployment time to build a full-blown leater Vader suit for All Hallow's Eve.
6) Skip Bayless (of ESPN Page 2 and "Cold Pizza") = GREAT Writer/ TERRIBLE TV Personality.
7) Another Wal*Mart moment: it seems as though Wiffle Ball bats have been replaced in popularity by FOAM RUBBER BATS. Do these people have ANY idea how quickly Wiffle Ball records are going to fall? This is the equivalent of giving Big Leaguers aluminum bats. I would've been putting balls through Hazel's second-story windows with a FOAM bat.
8) Just for the record. Let's say my old 4th grade math teacher, Mr. Potts, owns a Ferrari. It's "Mr. Potts's Ferrari" NOT "Mr. Potts' Ferrari." Why can't people understand this?
9) I like Matchbox Twenty. There. I said it. Now I don't have to hide from it. Last night's lyrics were from a Matchbox Twenty song, and it's made me feel ashamed for hiding from it last night. The new "solo" Rob Thomas thing kind of concerns me (especially his haircut), and they were the first concert I ever went to (with Doug and Drew! HA!). So yeah. Make fun. It's sad that I'll admit to Hootie and the Blowfish, but will hide Matchbox Twenty like its the music equivilent of lepracy. I've been scarred ever since Triumph the Insult Comic Dog said they were like if "Cher was the lead singer of the Goo Goo Dolls," and I couldn't even dispute that.
10) Marc's comment that I'm "Seth Cohen" from the OC is either a compliment, or a massive dig. I've not decided as of yet. I've only seen one episode (2 weeks ago) and it involved him being all about the Girl Who Knew About Comics. All I can say is, "At least he has a hot girlfriend." In actuality, I'm probably some sort of bastard cross-breed between Seth from the OC and Xander from Buffy.
11) "Gilmore Girls" = not that bad. "One Tree Hill" = CRINGEWORTHY.
12) I'm really sick of this paper. And when I'm done, I have five days to write a brief on how Captain Kirk received Ineffective Assistance of Counsel from Worf's grandfather in his trial for the assassination of Klingon Chancellor Gorkon in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country.
13) (had to finish with thirteen!) I've got an extra Buccos ticket for tonight, and there's tailgating involved. It's free. Who can meet me at Penn and 9th at 5pm?
Be good to each other. if you're lucky, the server won't crash at work tomorrow, and you'll get a real Daily Dose from me.
peace.
