  • The Flash made a guest appearance on ‘Supergirl’ last night, and the cross-promotion may have worked on me. After I finish with ‘Daredevil’ on Netflix, I might give ‘The Flash’ a try.
  • The woman that places Supergirl is gosh darn cute.
  • Speaking of the DC Comic universe, I enjoyed Batman v. Superman so much, it’s one of the few movies that I want to watch again in the theater. Star Wars The Force Awakens didn’t even do that to me.
  • Though I don’t believe it, I get a kick out of the conspiracy theory that Disney (which owns Marvel) paid off a bunch of critics and bloggers to write negative reviews of Batman v. Superman as a way to challenge their chief competitor in the superhero and comic business. I don’t prefer one over the other, I just want to be entertained in such a way that I can escape the reality of everyday life for a few moments.
  • Speaking of conspiracy theories, I don’t think Ted Cruz has ever cheated on his wife. But the one thing that would lead me to do so is the time she was found alongside a road with her head in her hands late at night and police thought she was a danger to herself. That seems like the kind of thing a woman would do if she found out about her husband’s infidelity. I know she just postponed a New Jersey event, but I doubt it has anything to do with all the drama.
  • ‘CBS Sunday Morning’ had a segment on jelly beans. To the best of my knowledge, I’ve never eaten a jelly bean.
  • It’s been a bad season for them anyways – Picking bluebonnets isn’t chill, but it’s legal
  • Go ahead and laugh at this, Rev. Hart, you Yankee – Dallas-area apartment rents set new record with $1,083 average in February – In February, rents topped $1,000 for the first time, according to research firm Axiometrics. That’s an average of $58 more a month and almost 6 percent more than a year earlier. Dallas renters paid an average of $1,083 in February. In the Fort Worth area, rents averaged $974.
  • io9 – All the Ways Batman v Superman Sets Up a Future DC Universe
  • Even though ‘Better Call Saul’ is itself a flashback, I really enjoy all the flashbacks of Jimmy/Saul. Also, Kim Wexler is so very well cast.
  • Never would I’ve thought I’d hear Whataburger mentioned in ‘Better Call Saul’. Damn, now I’m craving Whataburger.
  • I love how certain buildings have a mail slot that’s see-through and goes starts from many stories on high.
  • When I put my head on my pillow each night, I wish my mind would stop racing with thoughts of what happened and what’s to come.
  • Interesting fact I heard on the radio yesterday about the Carrier Dome at Syracuse University – Despite carrying the name Carrier (an HVAC manufacturer), there is no air conditioning in the dome.
