- I bought something at Dick’s Sporting Goods the other day and during a purchase I provided my rewards card number and then was offered an receipt by email. I wish more places did that sort of thing.
- My phone has been acting slow as of late. I tried several soft resets and that didn’t resolve the issues so I was forced to do a hard reset. So far, so good, but all my settings and preferences weren’t saved so now there’s a bit of an uncomfortable period going on.
- For the heck of it, I signed my kids up for the White House Easter Egg Roll Lottery.
- When my obituary gets published, I hope it doesn’t say who preceded me in death. I’d prefer it to say something like “those that beat him to death”.
- I’ve never been much of a red velvet cake person. Actually, I like to keep my cakes quite simple – white, yellow, chocolate.
- We saw a special on Robin Roberts’ recovery. As courageous as she was, it must be nice and a bit of a stress reliever to know you have access to the best medical care in NY and to know you have the funds to pay for it.
- Sixty-nine-year-old Robert Deniro and sixty-six-year-old Sylvester Stallone are making a boxing movie, here’s a picture of the two fighters. The ‘good’ news is that it’s a comedy.
- Hugh Jackman’s wife wore pant suits to the Oscars last night. Odd.
- William Shatner is 81, but he seemed quite run down last night.
- I seriously thought Seth MacFarlane was singing “We saw your boots” when he first started to sing during the monologue. I also thought his clap throughout the night was too audible, if that makes any sense.
- I thought it was a bit touching when the first thing Anne Hathaway said was “It came true.”
- When Barbara Streisand first came out I thought she forgot the words to her own song.
- Uh, um, why wasn’t Andy Griffith in the In Memoriam tribute?
- When Spielberg lost Best Director, I wonder if he was trying to get the orchestra to play the Jaws theme early for Ang Lee.
- There’s no telling how crazy the folks at Fox News went after the First Lady made a surprise appearance at the Academy Awards. But wouldn’t it have been awkward if Django Unchained won and had to be presented by the first black First Lady?
- And to think, Ben Affleck use to get on my nerves.
- @unclebarkycom As tweeted at start, Affleck now has one-upped Spielberg twice. Was in #ShakespeareInLove when it beat #Ryan for Best Pic. Now this.#Oscars
- Joaquin Phoenix didn’t take losing well
- A video from The Onion, but it’s really only the title of the video that I thought was funny: Oscars Fashion Report: Kathryn Bigelow Stuns On Red Carpet Wearing Blood-Soaked Rags Osama Bin Laden Was Killed In
- I haven’t seen Silver Linings Playbook and haven’t planned on it because it focused upon the Philadelphia Eagles (it’s one of those stupid rivalry things) and I thought Jennifer Lawrence was a horrible casting choice because she looks so much younger than Bradley Cooper. But then again, I really don’t know much about their characters other than them being depressed, so with her Academy Award win, perhaps I need to give it a try.
- If I was investment savvy, I would have bought into gun and ammo manufacturing stock after Obama was elected or after Sandy Hook. For instance, Smith and Wesson was trading around $2.30 at the beginning of January 2009, it’s now trading over $9.00 a share. If I’m reading this Google Finance chart correctly, that’s over 105% return.
- Everytime I see a commercial for ABC’s “Once Upon A Time” I’m just amazed at how cheep and cheezy the special effects look.
- One way to spot a new local news anchor is the flubbing the pronunciation of Waxahachi.
- I you have a messy room, don’t expect the Tooth Fairy.
- If he wanted to, the Pope could literary fly away on his own.
- A dog walking himself.
- Jermaine Jackson Changes Last Name to Jacksun
- What’s the difference between ‘C’ and ‘CE’ on calculators?
