Random observations and questions

Contrary to popular opinion, directions are not (generally) intended to be ignored.

According to iTunes, I have 3.6 days worth of music on my computer.

For what it’s worth, only 3min 32sec of it is techno.

Query: What ever happened to looking like you were working?

G.I. Joe cartoons are available from Netflix.

I found "The Chronicles of Riddick" starring Vin Diesel to be surprisingly entertaining.

“I like that song. Keep playing that song.”

In all likelihood, my apartment will continue to lack an Xbox 360 for the foreseeable future.

Not that it has much say in the matter. It had an argument with my credit card, and they’re not speaking.

Fantasy football is for losers. I can’t wait for my team to try and not lose on Sunday.

The Rockies making the World Series is less of a sign of the apocalypse (the end time, not the comic book character) than the Seahawks making the Super Bowl.

X-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse features Apocalypse (the comic book character, not the end time) as the primary villain.

No, I did not buy X-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse at Best Buy for $10.

That last statement was a bold faced lie.

I own one Sublime album. The same one everyone else has.

“Duran Duran is neither a Duran nor a Duran. Discuss amongst yourselves.”

The new Doctor Who theme (well...remix) is an exhilarating listen, for those who count the soundtrack amongst their 3.6 days worth of music.

Jesus, I have a lot of Led Zeppelin albums.

The Lord of the Rings is not about World War II.

I recently (as in, an hour ago) purchased the Neverwinter Nights 2 expansion pack, “Mask of the Betrayer” at Best Buy. I will not play it until I have finished my work.

Don’t believe me? Well, it’s guarded by a small teddy bear wearing a sweater with a heart on it. You try to get past that.

Okay, why hasn’t the recent wave of 80’s cartoons retro-revival trend not featured the Care Bears? Is a live action, Michael Bay adaptation soon to be announced?

I’m writing random observations and questions instead of working.

I should probably do something about that.

It occurs to me, once I get to the point where I would rather write random observations and questions than work, it’s kind of hard to go back.

Does anyone still have that stupid email I wrote in college about John Calvin, Edith Wharton, Karl Marx, and Max Weber having a gun fight which may or may not have resulted in me getting an imaginary A in my Soc class?

Subsequent efforts to write dumb emails instead of working never really quite captured the magic.

Ultimately they ended up just being stupid lists of random observations and questions.

Wait…oh, god damn it.

Haaaahahahaa, I know EXACTLY what that 3:32 of techno is. And I'm listening to it now. And I want to stay here with my new family and their feel-good candy.

Why no Xbox 360?

Duran Duran is greater than the sum of its parts. And it's hungry like the wolf.

I'm glad you have so much Zep. It allows me to have Zep.

Little Bear is a fearsome guard indeed, but he also likes video games. So, ya know. He'll either keep you from it or be your game buddy.

Michael Bay Care Bears?? My brain just exploded...
