I’m not sure if I can remember the last time I had a meatless meal.
I thought ‘Modern Family’ lost it but last night’s episode was of their best, the writing was fantastic.
I saw my ear/nose/throat doctor yesterday and my allergies and sinuses are hitting me with the ol’ one-two. At the end of my appointment I asked his thoughts on Vitamin D and he said I should just refer to my primary care physician. I told her that my primary care physician highly endorses them but I was trying to get different perspectives on the matter, and he once again said I should just refer to my primary care physician.
It turns out some Asians were upset at the last episode of ‘How I Met Your Mother’ accusing them of “yellow facing”, I term I’ve never heard. I’m usually very sensitive towards the mocking of Asian portrayals, especially the slanting of eyes and over-exaggeration of accents, but I didn’t find anything wrong with the episode whatsoever. To me it was along the line of Italians having some sort of mafia connection or their love for pasta.
Robert Gates was on ‘The Daily Show’ last night. Stewart is a better interviewer than most people give him credit for, and I do admire a lot of Gates’ character, our country was fortunate to have him serve.
Mo Rocca was fantastic on Letterman last night, I had no idea he was such a great interview.
Overheard on a commercial, “God gave me this body, I’m gonna strut it.”
I wanted to get WifeGeeding’s impression of ‘Friday Night Tykes’ and she couldn’t even make it through the intro, she can’t stand seeing children treated like that.
I think every Cowboys fan is happy to hear that Mike Zimmer finally got a head coaching gig.
Wade Phillips is disappointed he hasn’t even gotten an interview as a defensive coordinator. If you go through his Twitter media he has a few interesting pictures of the new house he’s having built in Houston.
Sometimes I feel like there are so many great things out there to learn about, in books, in television, and cool projects like learning a new language, coding, or a medium to large range home construction/modeling project. There are times I can’t wait to get started on them, and others where I feel like there’s so much out there none of them are worth tackling, and sometimes I try only for the energy to fizzle out.
Here’s a list of ten things you may not know about Girl Scout cookies, I was most interested in the link for the original recipe you can cook at home, which is pretty simple.
Man Who Collected Every Gatorade Flavor Forced to Throw Them Out by His Mom – When I was a kid Gatorade use to come only in glass bottles. On one summer day my brother put one in the freezer for a quick chill but forgot about it. As the Gatorade froze it expanded and broke the bottle and the broken glass fell into the ice-maker. I’ve always chewed glass and one piece just didn’t quite feel like the others, but it was a little hard to tell as my mouth was a bit numb from all the ice chewing. For a moment I almost bit really hard on it, but stopped at the last moment, spit it out, and showed my father who wasn’t too happy. And to beat some of you to the punchline, sometimes I do wish I would have chewed or swallowed the piece.
The coach that went from Butler University to the Boston Celtics has them with a 14-26 record and fourth in their division.
I chopped down a tree with a ax yesterday, I think that’s a first for me. Granted, the trunk wasn’t that big so it wasn’t much of an accomplishment, but it made me feel manly.
One of my neighbors is getting a pool, and I was lucky enough to get an insane amount of free dirt to level out my backyard. Now it’s time to work on a retaining wall and modify the fence.
I’m not sure if I’m sick from allergies, sinus problems, or some bug, I’m going to the doctor today.
Here are some interesting rules new University of Texas football coach Charlie Strong is implementing, the full list is here.
Players will attend all of their classes and sit in the front two rows of all of their classes.
If a player misses a class, he runs until it hurts. If he misses two classes, his entire position unit runs. If he misses three, the position coach runs. The position coaches don’t want to run.
Players may not live off campus anymore, unless they’re a senior who hits certain academic standards. The University will buy out the leases for every player currently living off campus and put them in the athletic dorm.
I finished the current season of ‘Sherock’ and I’m already going through withdrawals, but I most certainly applaud the season finale. #bravo
PBS aired some sort of behind the scenes special on Sherlock and it was great. I really liked how it shows the series is closely tied to all the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle novel. Funny thing, but when I first started with the series my first thought about the Benedict Cumberbatch was that they most of chosen him for his acting chops because he isn’t attractive in the least. But when watching that behind the scenes special they talked about his sex symbol status. You can watch that special on PBS’s website here and it does’t contain any spoilers for the upcoming series the American audience hasn’t seen.
That special stated that Sherlock Holmes is the most portrayed literary human character played on film and television, Guinness World Records backs up that claim. He’s been depicted on screen 254 times by 75 actors. But the most portrayed literary character of all times belongs to . . . Dracula. I’m assuming both records do not include porn parodies.
I’m trying to figure out if I’m just caught up in the moment or if ‘Sherlock’ is the best television series I’ve ever watched, even better than ‘Breaking Bad’. I think one thing that has helped me was the ability to binge watch the series.
