Bag of Randomness

  • If I hear “Blurred Lines” on the radio one more time I might just take hostages.
  • I repainted the front door to a darker blue, and for some reason I decided to buy an oil based paint.  Despite all my experiences painting, this was my first using an oil based paint.  It’s a bit harder to paint with, as well as cleanup, which I somewhat expected, but I failed to take into account the much longer drying time.
  • WifeGeeding has resurrected the slug bug game.  He’s better at finding them with her one eye than I am with my two.
  • I gave ‘Sleepy Hallow’ another try, but I’ve lost interest all ready.  Like I said, it would have made for a better movie than a television series.
  • I was the only person at Braum’s the other day.  As I sat and waited for my food I heard the food order announced and I actually took the time to look at the number of the receipt to make sure it was my order . . . despite being the sole person in the joint.
  • Sherlock Holmes has to be the greatest fictional character ever created, especially when you consider the longevity of the character and the numerous versions and modern adaptations like ‘House’, ‘Monk’, ‘Elementary’, and ‘Sherlock’ just to name a few.  I love how the character is always flawed, handicapped somehow, yet has confidence and this amazing ability to deductively reason.
  • I’m looking forward to the new Robin Williams series on CBS, but I think the promos are making it look bad.
  • The college age child of a friend at church at a stroke as an infant and as a result has lost the ability to taste.  In case you are wondering, she’s fairly thin.  I’m thinking if I had to choose to lose a scent, it would either be taste or smell.  I think smell is more important to keep for safety reasons, but man it would be hard to give up taste.
  • The Musers on The TICKET brought back the topic of at what you you should stop wearing jerseys as part of your outfit.  I still stand by my rule that you don’t wear a jersey of someone who is younger than you, which means you should start weaning yourself of jersey wear in your early twenties.
  • I think The TICKET app is different on the iPhone and Android systems.  The app on my Android phone doesn’t include a rewind or forward feature.
  • I guess that freezer death in Mineral Wells was an accident after all?
  • Speaking of Mineral Wells, here’s the history behind the Welcome Mountain sign.  And yes, I know it’s not really a mountain.
  • I wasn’t aware there was a movie made about Hell’s Gate out in Possum Kingdom.
  • This haunted house gives you the option of going through it in the nude.
  • I share a lot of readers with that Wise County lawyer but I’m often told they read his blog first and then mine, which isn’t a big deal or anything.  But in case you aren’t aware, Bag of Randomness is posted at 2:00 AM each morning.  I can’t get Barry’s Morning Thoughts to load until 8:30 AM.
  • A few ruined it for everyone – Disneyland: Disabled Will No Longer Skip Lines
  • Atheism starts its megachurch: Is it a religion now?
  • Baskin Robbins even has more flavors – These Are North Korea’s 28 State-Approved Hairstyles
  • NBA Planning Nicknames on Jerseys
  • Bono chased by angry anarchists in Germany –  Interview
  • Opinion piece I haven’t read but thought my audience might like to check out – The Evangelical Orphan Boom
  • Former President George W. Bush said President Obama should not be criticized over his frequent golf outings
  • More BrBa thoughts:
    • It’s fun to watch a show with you guys.
    • With the blue meth back on the streets, I’m guessing everyone thinks Walt is actually back cooking.
    • The actor that played the vacuum cleaner guy is smart enough to be in something called the Triple Nine Society.
    • A couple of items to note about Grey Matter Technologies I found on its Breaking Bad Wiki page, which makes me want to watch Season 2 Episode 6 again:
      • It was my hard work. My research. And you and Elliott made millions off it.” Walter White S2E6
      •  For reasons not yet explained, Walter suddenly left Gretchen during a vacation with her family, leaving her and his research behind.  S2E6
    • I’m having second thoughts on the ricin being left for Elliott Schwartz.  Lydia likes to drink a lot of tea, I can see Walt tying up that loose end by dropping it in her next brew.  Orrrrrr, maybe Walt is really ticked at Charlie Rose and is saving it for him?  Nahhhh, that’s nonsense.  It’s more likely Walk and Charlie Rose will have an epic shootout.
    • I hope Walt Jr learns that his father didn’t directly kill Uncle Hank.  He may have been responsible and even dug his grave, but he didn’t pull the trigger.
    • If there was a Hank funeral, I’m sure Marie woke purple.  I think it would be cool to find out in the last episode that she already remarried, and wore a purple wedding dress.
    • What’s the over/under of the number of “bitch” left in the series?  I’m thinking there’s two left.
    • Regarding Andrea’s death, I guess Todd is now the one who knocks, and Jessie sure knows that now for sure.
    • Jessie found a picture of Walt dressed like Santa, and the last episode made it look like Walt was living in the north pole.
    • Interesting comparison of Walt and Skylar’s perdickerment in the pilot and the most recent episode.
    • The New Yorker’s next cover is BrBa inspired.
    • Todd’s thoughts on Lydia, warning, a bit perverse humor but no nudity or anything.
