Rambling
-Wade
I think I have a fever. And no, not for more cowbell. A legitimate fever, and I'm probably going home soon. That whole "riding the bus" phase of my life is for the birds. It's my right as an American to drive anywhere I want. Um. Yeah. So here are some rambling thoughts.
Is it an indictment on me or on the state of television that when I heard of a new show called "Cracking Up" I immediately imagined it as a reality show where FOX videotaped people smoking crack and their subsequent hilarious antics?
Lionel Ritchie getting a divorce? How could anyone leave the man who sang "Hello"? "Say You Say Me"? "Can't Slow Down"? I think *I'd* marry Lionel Ritchie if he'd sing those songs to me. With the stipulation that he'd never sing "Dancin' on the Ceiling" ever again.
Do malt liquor manufacturers make their product taste like ass on purpose? Or are my tastes just not that refined?
I'm happy with my baseball draft. A little annoyed that I made a lot of picks out of obligation vs. the player I really wanted, but that's what trades are for. Although I'm notoriously horrible at making trades. Rocco Baldelli for a small cheese sandwich, anyone?
Alex has written three articles since I posted my last one? Yikes, gotta get on that. NFL training camp might open before I get that playoff prediction piece down.
"Surgeons to remove Ashcroft's gall bladder." I love how that's a headline in newspapers. Since he'll be under, can you also get rid of that stick up his butt?
My disdain for local television news (and especially weatherpeople) has been documented. So I've found an alternative-- "The Daily Show" on Comedy Central. wadE (and maybe Al) have been fans for a while, but I've never embraced it. Now I have to watch it (at least the until the first commercial break) every night before I go to bed. Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, and Mo Rocca deserve Emmys. Or is it Tonys? Grammys? Whatever new award the entertainment industry has invented to pat itself on the back.
OK. Off to watch Gameshow Network.
