The lame list
People, I got nothin'. It's time to update and yet I haven't a single coherent thought about an irrelevant topic that would last longer than a sentence. Here is an example:
Sad.
Wait it's the next day and I thought of something else bugging me.
- Is it just me or is Jared eating his way out of a job? In the last Subway add I saw, he was looking a little bit like Jiminy Glick.
- Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip sucks because of Harriet Hayes, the unfunny collagen-lipped spokesChristian upon which every scene is focused with a garishly misplaced intensity. The second reason it sucks? Stung.
Sad.
Wait it's the next day and I thought of something else bugging me.
- The Rolling f*&^ Stones on tour again. It's like, they won't rest until every last American has forgotten they were ever a relevant rock band. I went and saw the "Steel Wheels" tour bloody 17 years ago, I think they were calling it their "last tour," and there I was, still a teenager, thinking "man, it's sure painfully lame to see Mick Jagger in a neon sports jacket hopping on one foot in the late 80's to a song about Viet Nam."
- Also the other day yet another bad movie was on HBO, this time, called "Just Like Heaven." And it struck me for the ten millionth time that I don't know how people with so much money and so many resources can persist in making such boring and dumb films. Mark Ruffalo, why oh why are you playing shuffling, chemistry-free romantic leading men in tone deaf Hollywood comedies? I mean aside from the big paychecks? What's with the selling out? Let me guess, you have a pair of those $700 dollar tickets to the "Bigger Bang" tour at the Hollywood Bowl. Sigh.

It's hard to make those "hot links" like you did in this post (and others). That alone makes your effort far superior to anything I'm capable of. For example: -if you click this nothing happens-. sad.
Um. I thought you were an engineer. What happened sib???
The Rolling Stones remind me of this carpet store in my neighborhood that was always claiming that they were going out of business, but never actually did. They had a Going Out Of Business, Everything On Sale sign up for like an entire year. Eventually, everyone was just sick of that place still being around. I mean come on, close already. That's how I feel about the Stones.
Now I'm hungry for hot links. Mmmmm...
when I speak of my "capabilities" I do not refer to technical ability.. but rather motivation. Of which I have none. "hot links" was probably the greatest term from the early days of "the net" and perhaps the greatest term ever to come out of the technology industry. a redundant term that meant, perhaps? to differentiate from cold links? which were what.. url's spelled out that you were forced to type in from scratch? Okay maybe there are other great terms.. like "drag & drop" which is somehow, inexplicably compelling. and of course.. "floppy disk" of which only the disk part was relevant to it's function. Did anyone really care that it was floppy? I'm serious now..
i just had a ... "The Stones? Really?" moment recently when a friend asked if I wanted to go see them play in Seattle. ??? I mean, I guess cool for them if they are able to still hobble around after all these years. but it might be better to just buy a permanent place in Branson, MO so they don't have to go on the road and people can come to them. They could call it: "Gramps with Amps: The Rolling Stones".
"bro" seems on the cusp of one of his infamous "bread rants" about technology terms and floppy disks...
I have a FWT (Friend Without Tivo) and recently caught the Subway ad that TD (Tiny Dog) was referring to. It does seem like Jared is on the way back to his PSP (Pre-Subway Pants). I guess the talk show circuit green rooms serve more than Subway sandwiches...
