Bag of Randomness

  • We converted BoyGeeding’s crib into a bed last night, and it almost brought a tear to my eye.  I’ve heard it said a million times but you just don’t understand it until you live it, but kids grow up faster than you realize.  SisterGeeding was coaching him on how to sleep in a bed telling him to sleep on the far side against the wall so he wouldn’t fall off.
  • I think we might take the kids to the Nasher Sculpture Center tomorrow for Target First Saturday.
  • WFAA started their 5PM newscast with the breaking news of Radio Shack’s bankruptcy.  Their reporter stated that Radio Shack was at the top of their game ten years ago.  Heck, I’m surprised the company has survived being around for the last twenty years.
  • I finished the last season of ‘Psych’ last night.  It was only a half season and you didn’t see a lot of the regular cast, which was a bummer.  I also expected a big extended finale or two part story arc, but nada.  The ending tied up a lot of things, but not what Shawn’s dad had planned for the office.  There was a nice little hat-tip to another great USA series that cracked me up.
  • If your birthday is in mid-November, there’s a good chance you were conceived on Valentine’s Day.
  • I’ve noticed a lot of brand new SUVs on the road as of late.
  • Wild prediction – Brian Williams gets fired for his Iraq war helicopter attack story and Matt Lauer is his replacement.  The people in charge of ‘Today’ have been wanting to shake things up for a while and have been peeved at how ‘Good Morning America’ has surpassed them.  When you’re the face of your news network your credibility can’t be questioned, so I don’t see how Williams can survive unscathed. Lauer is already paid mega bucks and has been doing the morning gig for a long time, I can see a change happening.
  • I’m surprised with this Brian Williams foggy memory/exaggerated story of being attacked that no one has brought up the time on the campaign trail when Hillary Clinton said something similar about being under sniper fire in Bosnia only to be outed by no other than Sinbad.  At the time I was on the fence between Obama and Clinton, and it was this exaggeration which made me lean towards Obama.
  • I was told this lawyer is one of my doppelgangers, sans beard.
  • I wasn’t aware MLK’s mother was also assassinated.  It was after his death and it happened at the Ebenezer Baptist Church organ by a black man that thought all black ministers were a menace to black people.  His original target was her husband, but chose her instead.
  • Rick Moranis hasn’t done anything regarding acting since 2006, just doing voice work, as he basically retired since 1997 to become a full time father after his wife died of breast cancer.  But I heard on the radio that Mel Brooks is developing a sequel to Space Balls and wants Moranis to return as Dark Helmet.
  • National Geographic – Why Do Many Reasonable People Doubt Science?
  • Rep. Joe Barton (Texas) changed his bill number from 666 to 702.
  • Bad idea of the month – Four people have been arrested in a kidnapping case the suspects say was meant to teach a 6-year-old boy a lesson about stranger danger.
  • An atheist (former Mormon) man created a Spanish Bible app and makes more than $100,000 a year from sales.  He says he feels guilty but the money is too good to stop.
  • Vanity Fair’s Hollywood issue has British stars remaking famous scenes from American movies.  The most notable is Keira Knightley in the Meg Ryan role at the deli in When Harry Met Sally.
  • Katy Perry’s lawyers demand takedown of 3D printable Left Shark
  • It’s stuck up on me, but ‘Better Call Saul’ debuts this Sunday.
  • Today’s dose of ‘MURCIA!
