Timbits...I mean...Tidbits
Sipping on Coke, chewing on some Vanilla Milkshake Whoppers, waiting for the Rider game to commence. An ideal time to blog about random thoughts and such.
From my short stint behind a customer service counter this past week, I've come to realize that smokers are a very confidant bunch. They say the name of the product they so desperately crave with authority, even when they know that us non-smokers have no freakin' clue what they're talking about. The following exchange is an accurate example: "I'll have a pack of Players Unlimited Light Cool Du Maurier Classic Camel please" "Uhhhhhh.....what color is it?"
Sweet. Theory of a Deadman and the Trews are playing at the Ex this year. I missed both of their individual concerts earlier this year, so this is definitely a sign for me to drop all my commitments and take advantage of this second chance opportunity. I don't like rides, rigged games and people endlessly asking me to step right up, but I'll go for the one day, buy a bagful of delectable spudnuts and be on my merry way...and maybe take in a freak show and a monster truck rally if time permits.
Audioslave, new album early September. Awwwwwww yeaaaaahhhhh. There's nothing on the horizon that I would consider buying until that album comes out, so I guess my free CD from CD Plus will have to wait to be hole-punched until then.
I went to the Capitol Theatre on Tuesday night and saw my first movie there since Jurassic Park. I saw Nacho Libre, and enjoyed it because it's a Mexican version of Napoloeon Dynamite, and because it delves into the mysterious underworld of the luchador. Halfway through, I realized I broke one of my most sacred rules...never pay to see a comedy in an "expensive" theatre. What was I thinking??
The newest wave of talent shows has started airing on TV, now that all the good shows worth watching are on hiatus or repeat endlessly for the summer. One thing is abundantly clear...AMERICA HAS RUN OUT OF TALENT. You guys have sucked that well bone dry! Let's find out who America's best door-to-door Encyclopedia Britannica salesman is...a fresh concept, any concept please!!!
If there's a show I'll try to watch this summer, it'll be Last Comic Standing. I can appreciate how difficult that profession(?) is because you continuously have to keep coming up with new material for unpredictable audiences. The material that is "worldly" and not vulgar is what connects with me, because I think the routines about sex, etc are too easy...and too many people go down that route anyway. Watch the guy with cerebral palsy...he's hilarious! Oh, and Hell's Kitchen is a must-watch because the chef insults the customers just as much as he does the contestants!!
What, these Whoppers are a limited edition?? If I had known that, I wouldn't have eaten them so fast! Awwww mannnnn....

Aw crap, there goes my suggestion that we should check out Nacho. Oh well. I'll call you in August about the Silverwood invitational.
