I haven't been in here in quite a while...sorry (or maybe it was better that way). I was too lazy to dick around with the new google/old blogger bullshit for a while, then there was some crap about cookie functionality that was uncorrectable. Now that I use Mozilla, it seems to work okay.
Anyhow, here's some quick takes on the last 3000 posts in the blog:
1. Apparently, I'm not spending enough time on YouTube (or maybe I am spending just enough).
2. While I was tickled to see the GOP lose their majority, I fully expected the Democrats to start doing stupid stuff sooner or later. My only surprise is the rapidity with which they've started the stupidity. And though I'm counting the minutes until the Emperor goes back to clearing brush full time, I am sobered by the realization that one of these gutterball candidates is going to be his replacement.
3. As for lists (regarding the last thing I posted), I should clarify. I'm not against them in principle. Though there can never be anything like a definitive list, they can serve a useful purpose for defining canons, starting conversations with people in bars, and so forth. I was just really pissed by the contents of that particular list.
...and a few new topics:
4. So what's up with the last Harry Potter book? I thought for sure there would be all kinds of discussion. I basically liked it, despite a few pacing problems and occasional frigidity by the author.
5. Are we all still playing fantasy football this year? You better be.
6. Though it certainly has moments of sheer brilliance, I've finally concluded that The Family Guy is the most inconsistent and lazily written show I watch.
7. The Indians won't make the playoffs. They suck. Goddamn Indians....
Discuss.
