Anybody else see the commercial for the movie Quarantine that was shown during the Cowboy game last night? Seemed a bit too intense for prime time football.- Here are nine minutes of fans jacking with a sleeping guy at Shea Stadium. As much as I never thought I'd watch all nine minutes of it, I couldn't turn away.
- I'm thinking about growing my hair longer again. I tend to alternate every year.
- The Cowboys are great, but I just have a bad feeling about this team.
- Probably mentioned before: If I take an afternoon nap, it takes me an hour to fully wake up. And I'm incredibly confused when I wake up thinking that it is morning.
- Texas Tech is in the Top Ten for the first time in forever. (But we don't know much about them since they've only beaten Eastern Washington, Nevada, SMU, and Massachusetts.)
- The Dallas Morning News implemented a "comment section" on most of its stories about a month ago, some times it doesn't know how to deal with them. Case in point, Barefoot Sanders (the federal judge who presided over the Dallas ISD desegregation) died over the weekend. Most of the initial comments were racist diatribes which were immediately taken down.
- Odd note from that Barefoot Sanders story: "1936 -- Is named freckle champion of the State Fair of Texas." Say what?
- I always wanted a cool nickname. I don't think "Barefoot" is cool.
- It seems like only yesterday that we didn't trust the reliability of email. Now it's a rare occurrence if one doesn't make it to its recipient.
- Another home invasion in northwest Tarrant County, and another home intruder dead. What is up with these stories?
- Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker and DJ AM were injured in a plane crash this weekend that killed four but they survived. I think I've heard a Blink 102 song, but I had never heard of DJ AM.
- That "Eveyone's Going To Choctaw" jingle is getting on my nerves.
- I attended one game in Yankee Stadium and saw a fan blow out his knee as tried to hop down a several rows of empty seats.
- Craziest obituary ever in the Dallas Morning News?
- So the federal government is going to buy $700 billion in bad loans? Does anyone else think this magic wand trick may one day implode?
- And I've said it before, if you are a simpleton like me and want to understand how this mortgage crisis came to be, you have to listen to the one hour speciall of This American Life: A Giant Pool of Money. I actually listened to it for the second time this weekend. Fascinating.
- I've seen maybe 15 minutes of Grey's Anatomy but I bet it's pretty good.
- Edit: The Ticket just mentioned that the holder on Martin Grammatica's failed field goal yesterday (the game doesn't matter) was wearing a watch while on the field yesterday. Off.
