I've held out for probably too long. Got some of that Jerry Jones optimism, but it's time to start pointing the finger. A new Diet Dr. Pepper diet and a Harvard degree has amounted to a 1-6 record. I can't decide what sucks more: the fact that the Cowboys got routed by the Jags or that Grace can't fully understand my situation, which then of course makes me feel like an idiot for investing any emotion into a sports team that is no way related to me.
GET VOUCHED already.
GOTCHA!
Instead of getting that romantic, longing tug every time I see a commercial of some goober driving his new Lincoln listlessly through wooded terrain, I decided to ride over to Forest Park. It's an apt name, but kind of uninspired. I'm glad I found this dope spot now that winter is encroaching. Oh well. Maybe go do runs here.
Alas, because it is NYC there is always the fuzz of traffic. Retarded.
Here's our kitchen. Let's dissect. Soymilk, plain. I prefer real milk or vanilla if it has to be soy. I'm a child of the eighties, grand, decadent. Messenger bag, probably means there's a bike in the apartment somewhere. To further carry the illusion of bike messenger, working hero for the internet generation. Franzen's "The Corrections." Don't want people to think I'm a bandwagon reader. I was onto him way before I saw the review on Pitchfork. This is boring.
Grace hooked it up the other day with getting me this sweet copy of "Dirty Work." I read it this summer and though I was impressed, I'm still going to say the movie version was better.
An advertisement over the webpage. I couldn't figure out how to get it off. I hate the internet.
Found this. The internet is so cool sometimes.
And now some commercials I enjoy with little thought to their products, politics, alliances, etc.
Some of these, I realize are old - "played out" - but whatever. And, also, Americana is "in" right now, it makes sense, the only logical response to all the anger the young kids had during the Bush administration. I'm not really concerned with that right now though.
I keep watching that trailer for the new Ben Affleck movie. It's disgusting. It really pisses me off. I don't come from a long line of extreme poverty, but it's so obviously offensive that I wonder why no one is talking about it. Maybe they are; I'm not really looking. Is it even out yet? Really, I just don't get it. Maybe it's more dramatic to see a family that has everything then to watch them lose it only to see them enact some sort of revenge or reclamation of their possessions or whatever the movie is supposed to do, than to watch a family that already only has two dates on their calendar (1st and 15th), is surrounded by a community that is neglected, and then see the one member in that family that was able to hold a job for three weeks lose it. Maybe this is the Tea Party's "Amistad" or something.
The NBA started. Roy Hibbert lost some weight and is making moves to be MIP this year. Oklahoma City is the sexy pick, but it's hard to root against them. Deng dropped 40 last night, with Rose doing 39 or something the night before. The Bulls might actually get it together.
Started watching, cautiously, the Knicks. I'm not converting, but I don't really like any other professional New York franchise. Maybe there's some respect there, like "hey we killed it back in the mid-late nineties, but we suck now so it's cool to root for one another."
Gotta love Reggie "God, I'm trying so hard to find a catchphrase" Miller.
Going to go mail pictures of Brett Favre's wiener to everyone at Valley Ranch

yeah, Deng had his first solid game of the season.
ReplyDelete'bout friggin' time!
plus, they did give Durant and crew a run for their money, so we'll see how that shit plays out throughout the season.
as for your boys, i want to express sympathy for you, but being the glutton for punishment that i am for a franchise that hasn't mustered up a World Series appearance since the beginning of the Nuremberg Trials, and a World Series championship since Bulgaria declared its independence from the Ottoman Empire, i find it difficult to empathize your pain.
it has become so bad, even my brother has lost all hope.
fuck it! go Royals!
i know i have no room to complain. like oh woe is me i've only experience three championships in my life. probably how russia feels when we bitch about our space program, seeing as how we were the only fools to make it to the moon. what?
ReplyDeletei'm pulling for the bulls even though i genuinely, with all my heart, think rose is stupid. not "stupid" as in playground slander, but clinically stupid. and like i said OKC is sexy, but shit. Durant is too excited to play for this city. It's great for the NBA. I really don't know the last time a legitimate star was excited to be in a shitty market with an extremely young, unproven team.
OAKLAND OR BUST!
i kinda can't stand that levi's go forth commercial in pennsylvania. totally robs malick's days of heaven as well as david gordon green's george washington (which itself steals from malick).
ReplyDeletebut whatever.
i'm excited about watching some more blake griffin this year.
yeah, that' s kind of why i put the disclaimer before because i was trying to look at them isolated from anything, but now that u mention it, it is totally george washington. i'll check out malick now, thanks.
ReplyDeletei really hope the clippers turn the corner. gordon (as pissed as i am that he left IU in such a mess) has proven himself and if baron davis can get over his breakup with elton brand, they might do something
