A Big Dude With A Cool 'Tude

For a 12:30 in the afternoon showing, “Iron Man” is crowded. A lot of people must’ve done their 100 miles for the day or just playing hooky or want to see it before the big game.

I don’t know if it’s been said already or not, but here’s my theory as to why Speed Racer is tracking so poorly and is estimated to tank; cause nobody likes Emile Hirsch. Looking at the box office returns on IMDB Pro, only one of his films, Into The Wild has returned a small profit. Everything else has flopped. I kind of want to say that I called it, but I did.

The road uniform version of Coffee Bean is nowhere as good as the home court, home uniform version of Coffee Bean. The road team, gotta love ‘em for trying, but they make their hazelnut too watery and you know, how important these drinks are for me. Let’s hope that they can knock it out tomorrow afternoon.

I think the downfall of American culture rests solely upon the shoulders of these Judge shows, “People’s Court” knock off, “Judge Judy” wanna bes. I was in a waiting room this morning and for a while, the TV wasn’t on. It was great. There was a couple of people off on the other side, talking and I was in another corner, reading my book. It was nice and quiet, but then one of the employees came in and switched on the TV and I was forced to deal with loud, court shows where people argued over wedding photography and cats and dogs and back rent and apparently a comedian named Alexndra McHale is famous enough to be the celebrity jury duty show, which got me to thinking that I could probably get on that show either as an internet personality or the guy whose dating LC. I just think that these show represent the beginning of the end of the beginning to the end.

Dear Mr. Saramago,  Your book, “Blindness” would be so much easier to read if you used quotation marks every once and a while. I’m enjoying it or at least I appreciate the concept, but I could use a couple of these “” every once and a while. Thanks buddy.

No Age: Nouns: Pitchfork Record Review → 9.2? Yeah, that sounds about right. Buy it tomorrow. Buy it tomorrow. Buy it tomorrow. Buy it tomorrow. So, don’t spend too much money on carne asanda and Tecate to get that one cute girl/guy drunk enough to like you at that Cinco de Mayo party. Just be yourself and have a couple of beers or margaritas and save the rest of your money for the new No Age album. Besides, everybody who should really celebrate Cinco de Mayo already celebrated when Oscar won the fight even though the fight was “weak sauce.”

“Silence” by Portishead. I still have yet to pick up a hard copy of the new album and at first, I was a bit indifferent to the new album, then I heard this song while I was driving and I started to think I was in a Michael Mann film and I felt awesome. It also made me drive a lot faster and sort of fit the mood I was in from where  I was leaving and where I was going.

Fact: I still haven’t seen Iron Man nor the new trailer for The Dark Knight. 

Fact: The Lakers won and that’s all that matters.

Is there a mercy rule in basketball and if so, they can enforce it during this awful, terrible Hawks/Celtics game? Holy shit.

I don’t understand how I can totally disconnect myself from Eastern Conference playoff games and zone out. Example, I’m watching the Hawks/Celtics game and I could give a shit. I tried to watch the Pistons/Magic game last night and once again, I could give a shit. As soon, as the Spurs/Hornets game started, it was as if I was injected with caffeine directly into my brain and I was there with the whole game. Clapping, yelling, etc. What is it about the Western Conference in the NBA that makes me stand up the whole fucking time? Is it my total and utter disdain for the Spurs or what?
