Here are a few thoughts on the Grammy's. I watched some of the show tonight, I saw some of the noteworthy performances, including MIA + Jay-Z + Kanye + Lil Wayne + TI. MIA was wearing something totally ridiculous--I guess it's hard not to when you are 9 months pregnant, and she is known for being pretty crazy, but still...

So I was just driving back to my room, and I had it on the top 40 radio station, and I heard a song I've never heard before. It was an up-tempo dance type track, about being in the club, and it had some of the ubiquitous auto-tune going on. And these were the lyrics to the chorus ( Read more... )

this movie?
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0318081/
It came on TV at the hotel we were staying at outside of Yosemite two summers ago, I watched it with my dad, and maybe some more of my family. It was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. I remember reading the Bradbury short story it is "based" on (I use the term very loosely) in 9th grade English. ( Read more... )

Has anyone else noticed how much this year's Titans are an opposite mirror image of last year's Patriots? Last year's Patriots went through the regular season winning all of their games by large margins, throwing the ball most of the time, running up scores and putting on an offensive show every week. Tom Brady and Randy Moss were the superstars of ( Read more... )

Well, I am not feeling quite as confident as I did a few weeks ago when I predicted that the Hornets would win the 2009 NBA title. I still consider them to have a good shot. A difficulty is that you want to pick a West team, since the good teams are so concentrated over there, but it's really just as easy for an East team to win, especially if they ( Read more... )

I haven't posted on this in a really long time. And this is going to be brief. I'm really just using this as a record of a prediction I'm about to make ( Read more... )

Division I College Football must implement a playoff system. It makes no sense not to have one. The money-hungry and tradition-loving people in charge seem to think the system works the way it is, but the truth is that it doesn't. There is so much less parity among the top teams in college sports today than there ever used to be, and this is ( Read more... )

last night i had a weird dream. basically, it was about zombies. i got up and wrote about it, then went back to bed and had another dream. read more below:

first, an introduction: there weren't a lot of zombies actually in the dream, but they were the basis for the "plot," and they weren't really like normal movie zombies, because this was some ( Read more... )

I love hating Alabama football. It's just so awesome, because they really do suck, they haven't been good in years, yet their fans still seem to believe it's the Bear Bryant years and they're due for another national championship to add to their "12" (not all legit). They have this sense of entitlement that they deserve to have good teams, yet they ( Read more... )

I had my wisdom teeth out this morning. It wasn't too bad at all. My surgery was at 8 and I felt fine until around noon, took more pain medication, which works really well. I've had ice on my jaw and eating jello and yogurt. I felt really sick for like 5 minutes earlier but then it passed, and that's the worst it's been so far. I have been pretty ( Read more... )
