Random Thoughts: 06/06/11

I was originally going to do something else, but that can wait until later in the week. For right now...

1. Rafael Nadal played an amazing match yesterday...especially after Roger Federer had him down 5-2 in the first set. The French Open as a whole, actually, went as well as it could go without either Williams sister being involved - and that Djokovic/Federer semi was the best match I've seen all year.

2. I am tired of the Casey Anthony trial. All this reduced TV time for Richelle Carey is not the business.






3. Watching the game with the crew was great last night. Then again, every time I chill with the crew is great.

4. Found out last night that Transformers is coming out on my birthday, as opposed to July 1. Ooh, someone messed up. Only question is whether I see it in 3D or IMAX.

5. I have a feeling that Heat stuff will play the role of the female in the 2Pac song while I'm here: "Every other city we go, every other video - no matter where I go, I see the same..." - seriously, it's all Heat all the time here. At least the party will be good if they win.

6. X-Men: First Class was a really good movie. I'll try not to spoil it for anyone and just say that I thought one character's role was written and portrayed exceptionally well.

7. Subtraction is addition in a funny-looking costume.

8. If John Edwards somehow gets more jail time than Dominique Strauss-Kahn (assuming both are found guilty), the judicial system in America will need a serious overhaul.

9. Least favorite people right now...people who say they love you, but show you that they hate you. Two reasons: first, the mere fact that they're that way; second, because they think you're not smart enough to see it for what it is.

10. The only thing dumber than Sarah Palin's comment re: Paul Revere is this laughable defense of her comment (http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2011/06/sarah-palin-says-paul-revere-warned-the-british.html) found in the LA Times. Perhaps Mr. Malcolm should read his opening line and reflect on it to figure out why the rest of his Palin commentary is mind-numbingly incorrect.

11. I'm not as excited about The Green Lantern as I was a week ago. I was so sure that I was going to check it out, but now it's a "probably not" - especially since there's no $5 option here.

12. I feel like getting a glass of water. You should too.

13. So Rick Santorum says he's in it to win it. Well, two pieces of advice for not-so-Slick Rick: 1) if you want to win, you're going to have to side with the incumbent; and 2) who's going to vote for someone whose name is too close for comfort to 'sanitarium'? Oh, and 3) at least for people in Florida, we've had enough of politicians who go by 'Rick S.'. Just saying.

14. Predicted weather for Tallahassee today: high of 100 with scattered thunderstorms. Tsk tsk.

15. I didn't get all the fuss about HD when it first came onto the scene. 3D TV, though: totally different story. That is one of the most awesome things in the history of ever...yes, I've seen 3D movies. It's not the same.

16. It never ceases to amaze me how much of our society is based on two things: negativity and debt.

17. Why would anyone want to televise the Olympics? Given the fact that the endeavor has been far less profitable (NBC actually lost money last time out) than previously - largely due to people caring less - it just seems like a race to the bottom. I really hope ESPN doesn't win: they seem to let such events monopolize their programming.

18. Why is it that whenever I feel like going running it's on the other side of hot outside? I never feel like running at 8 (either AM or PM). It's always when the sun hits me harder than my feet hit the pavement. Oh well, such is.

19. I should look into finding some "motivation" while I'm here.

20. Investing is always nice, and definitely prudent. Sometimes the best payoffs from investments are those that you don't expect.

21. I'm going to need AOL BV to do better. Game 2 of the NBA Finals should not be a "Hot Topic" the day after Game 3.
