So sometime between when I left AZ and when I got back up here to the hills of Hell, the backlight on my computer died. Yeah, so I dropped it off at Best Buy the day after I got back, and they told me it would be two weeks. Then 9 days later, it was back. And I had the 3-year thing, so I didn't have to pay. So it works now, and it's all good. But since my last update, I've been in a very observant mood, so I have lots of random observations and rants.
If you'll excuse me, I have to pee. We'll be right back after these messages.
"My boloney has a first name. It's O-S-C-A-R..."
And, we're back. Where were we? Oh, yes, on to the random observations.
I went to get my hair cut last week, and I guess the lady was having a bad day or something, either that or she was trying to scalp me, cause she was pressing the stupid clippers against my head so hard that I actually almost got up and walked out. Seriously, it was ridiculous. Ok, that wasn't as funny written down as it was when I was saying it in my head.
You know what I realized the other day? The chick who was so awesome in "Phantom of the Opera" was also in "The Day After Tomorrow." The latter was on HBO2 last week, and I had to stop and watch, cause, well, that movie's like a train wreck, you can't help but watch, even though you don't want to, and it hit me all of a sudden who it was. Amazing. At least she's moving in the right direction.
Did you know Aaron Carter has a Greatest Hits album? Seriously. That loser has only had one song that even came close to being a real hit and that was a remake of one of the stupidest songs ever.
Someone please explain to me why when I tried to take back my "FSU Edition" geology book to the FSU Bookstore, the reason they said they wouldn't buy it back is because they can't buy back books that are FSU Edition! I wish I was making that up.
Only in the School of Music can I see a guy brushing his teeth in the bathroom at 2 in the afternoon and not think it's strange.
So on the first day of classes, I was walking by Garage 1 and I heard honking. It made me smile, cause I'm not one of those suckers that has to find parking every morning. :-D
Why is it that drummers and guitarists always wear shirts with instrument companies' names on them and no other instrumentalists do? Is it some fantasy where they're famous enough to get paid to wear them, or what? I'm very confused by this.
Speaking of fantasies, I love the noise you make when you're walking around wearing wing tips. It makes me feel important.
That 70's Show really got crappy after Ashton Kutcher and Topher Grace left. Speaking of shows that got crappy after someone left, 8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter really sucked after John Ritter died. I don't mean any disrespect or anything, but it just did.
I was walking recently, and I saw the first sign that spring is coming. Little groups of 15-20 middle aged people with teenagers looking embarrased. You know what that means: Preview tours. And next weekend is when all the middle aged people with kids already here and torturing themselves in the School of Music come for Parents weekend. Great. If you take the Crusades in the Middle Ages and switch the words around, we've got a bunch of Middle Aged people Crusading across campus.
So the last movie I saw in theaters was Fun With Dick and Jane. It was funny, although I recommend it as a rental, nothing more. Pretty typical of Jim Carrey. Definitely funny, especially his kid and the end.
On to sports. In pretty much the only thing going on right now in sports is the NFL. The NBA and NHL are still in the middle of their seasons, and that means nothing is happening. The Panthers suck, and the Heat are underachieving, although they're still gonna make the playoffs cause the rest of their division sucks worse. In the NFL, the Super Bowl matchup has been set, and the Steelers are gonna be meeting the Seahawks.
Speaking of the Seahawks, they have a running back named Maurice Morris. Who names their kid that? Honestly! That's worse than Mercury Morris (another real NFL running back name). At least Mercury is a fitting name for a speedy little running back. But Maurice Morris? How bout I name my daughter Amber Ambrose? I mean, no wonder that kid grew up to be a football player. He probably took so many beatings in middle school that it made him tough enough to play.
Also on the NFL, why do teams recycle crappy head coaches? I mean, the Saints just fired Jim Haslett after however many years of unspeakable mediocrity, and yet he's getting serious consideration for other head coaching jobs. And that let's not forget that the Packers just hired the offensive coordinator of one of the worst offenses in football. Except for the occasional Bill Belichick, who sucked in Cleveland, and now has one three out of five Super Bowls, most coaches who suck with one team suck with another. And yet they still get hired.

See, after the whole boy-priest sex scandal, this is mild.
Ok, I'm done. You guys have a good one, and remember, good health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.
Adios
