From the Weekend
Since the posts with actual interesting "content" are still in process (they got me working here at work... go figure... so I haven't had as much time as I'd like to slack off and blog), I'm going to leave you with some filler junk that will satisfy only the most casual of readers.
Yeah, I suck. I know. I embrace it.
Things I learned from this weekend:
- Whoever bought all those shots on Friday night is a real dick.
- If you see somebody you haven't seen in 3+ years, and they've lost about 25 pounds since then and look great, there is no way to tell them that without hitting on them. I spent half an hour trying to figure out how to tell an old college friend she was looking good these days. Can you really do that without flirting or insulting them? I mean, these are women we're talking about. Not to generalize (and subsequently receive plenty of nasty comments on this post), but it can be a difficult task to compliment them without somehow backhandedly insulting them. Take this conversation for example:
Me: Wow, you're looking great since the last time I saw you.
Her: What, like I was fat before?
Me: ......
This is what I had feared, but in the end (and probably since everybody was hammered) it turned out OK. Phew.
- Dinners with my mom are still really fun, not only because of the fact that I enjoy her company, but because she's clinically deaf in one ear. This never fails to be funny. Ever.
- Satan is now taking over the sports world -- Glass Joe Brown pitched a 7-inning shutout for the Yankees, and a freakin Canadian won the NBA MVP award. Incredible.
- Good book: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (haven't seen the film). Bad Movie (to watch on TV): Out cold, starring the London twin from Dazed & Confused. Good Album (Classic): Alice In Chains - Facelift. Bad Day for a Family F-cking Reunion: July 30th, when the Black Crowes open up for Tom Petty. I'm pissed about this one.
- Still Great after all these years: The Simpsons. Jumped the Shark: The phrase "jumped the shark." Glad to have you back: The Family Guy. Can't wait for more: American Dad. (in other words, watch FOX from 8-10 on Sundays... and I can't believe I just gave a free promo to a major TV network-- somebody kill me)
