In no particular order...
*So, Saturday I went to a BBQ. The person who hosted it lives on a narrow street, and I thought instead of driving into a random stranger's driveway I would go around the block to get back on to the street I needed. I drove on to John Sim(s) Rd. I was like, HEY! And then tonight I was on my way home from The Boy's house and I heard a harmony that sounded vaguely familiar. I thought that it sounded a lot like Ashes to Ashes, but a bit different. Turns out, NPR (of all things) played a live version Bowie recorded a few years ago. Explains why it sounds different. No 80's electronic crap to enhance the guitar line, LOL. All on the week after the finale aired. Whatdaya know.
*I totally forgot to mention, but I got Top Producer for the month of April. It's my second award. Wooo.
*I'm digging The Reds team this year, although they lost again (ridiculously.) Turns out our center fielder lost a routine flyball... in SPACE! I've never seen anyone lose the ball like that. Oh well. Game probably at least would have tied if that hadn't happened, but you can't really blame him since the offense kept getting tricked by the pitcher... over and over again. Our pitching was good, but theirs was... textbook. Well, if the Cards lose tonight, we keep first place. So here's hopin', I guess.
*Oh, and I forgot: We are Tivo'ing The Good Guys at the moment. It is slightly bizarre to see Josh Lyman in a shady looking 'stach and an attitude like a deranged cowboy, but I really enjoyed it. It's really funny and actually kind of Tarantino-esque, without the gore. Very funny. It'll make for good summer fare.
*Also, the Republicans made me mad again. I was listening to NPR and was having a hard time believing what I heard. First of all, Obama is working on immigration.
Republican guy: "Yeah, we won't let that get on the table."
OKAY, FIRST OF ALL, ALL YOU DID DURING THE HEALTHCARE DEBATE IS SCREAM ABOUT IMMIGRATION. AND HERE IT IS. THE PRESIDENT WANTS TO PUT THAT ON THE TABLE.
~Obama is putting something like 1,000 troops by the border.
REPUBLICANS: That's not enough. We need 6,000. At least.
WE ARE AT WAR. WE BARELY HAVE ENOUGH TROOPS IN IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN AND YOU WANT MORE TROOPS AT THE BORDER. THE CRAP? PLUS, YOU REFUSE TO TALK ABOUT DON'T ASK DON'T TELL BECAUSE IT'S 'WAR TIME' AND HEAVEN FORBID YOU DISTRACT THE BOYS FROM WHAT THEY NEED TO DO. BUT IT'S OKAY TO HAVE THEM SHOOT AT PEOPLE AS THEY TRY TO CROSS THE BORDER.
REPUBLICANS: Yes, clearly we are still angry about immigrants.
SO YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT IMMIGRATION. YOU JUST WANT TO SHOOT AT THEM INSTEAD OF OFFERING THEM A CHANCE TO BECOME CITIZENS, WHICH IS WHAT OBAMA WANTS.
GAH. I can't tell if the Republicans are more annoying when they're in power, or when they're not.
