RANDOM THOUGHTS:
Alright, last batch of random thoughts before August comes to a close. Here we go:
The following were on my mind between Monday, August 22nd and Monday, August 29th:
- The fact that "Breaking In" was renewed by FOX while other shows more deserving of cancellation resurrection like "The Chicago Code" (which actually increased in ratings during their last two episodes), "Rubicon," "Terriers" and "Party Down" remain gone for good is the epitome of unfair.
- The only reason why I like the preseason is because a week of it finished means a week closer to actual NFL games that matter. Otherwise, it's an annual event worse than two Hurricane Irenes.
- There is absolutely no better way to spend a hot, humid, high 90s day than in your garage, putting on new inflatable tubes on your bike only to watch them both pop before you can even ride it.
(true story)
- That weird sound that you heard Sunday night was the sound of a bunch of dramatic TV actors watching "Breaking Bad" and sighing, knowing that there's no way in hell they're going to beat Aaron Paul in next year's Emmy race. His performance during the monologue scene at the end was just too good.
- Little does Arian Foster know that 60-75% of the people who actually care about his injury are his fantasy owners. (http://aol.sportingnews.com/nfl/story/2011-08-28/texans-rb-arian-foster-expresses-frustration-toward-fantasy-football-players-on-)
- So, apparently, Billboard ranked this the #1 hit song from the year that I was born:
1994: a very great year for movies ("Pulp Fiction," "The Shawshank Redemption," "Forrest Gump," "Quiz Show," "Speed," "Hoop Dreams," "The Lion King," etc.), but a not-so-good of a year for pop songs (especially considering that 1993's #1 song was Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" while 1995's #1 song was Coolio's "Gangster's Paradise").
Normally, this would be the part of the post where I say that the next random thoughts posts would be on Monday. Well, I'm not because it isn't. It will be either Thursday or Friday and it will be as part of my annual Write As Many Stuff As Possible Now So That I Don't Have To on Labor Day Weekend post, along with an early "End of the Week" and an "End of the Month" for what was a very interesting August all-around. Hope you join me then! Otherwise, keep enjoying the remainder of summer!
Sincerely,
Your pal: mj15
