- Forgot to mention it yesterday: Kudos to Sarah Palin for willing to make fun of herself on the Saturday Night Live anniversary show.
- "Every line of this movie should be memorized instead of watching that crap." - Me last night in response to someone in the Family Unit wanting to watch The Bachelor as we were watching the Phantom Of The Opera. I don't know if I should be proud of myself or embarrassed.
- I didn't hear much about "The American Sniper" trial yesterday, but I thought I saw a Texas Ranger testify who was named Ron Pettigrew. Wasn't he a trooper assigned to Wise County at one point?
- Watched some more of Black Mirror over the weekend. Can't recommend it enough. I love stuff that makes me think.
- I received two birthday presents over a week ago which have been sitting there on the kitchen counter unopened. It is driving everyone else nuts that I won't open them. And all I say in response is "Discipline."
- Chico ISD has called a $7 million bond election. Question: Is government the biggest employer in Chico?
- We used to fear the USSR hitting us with nuclear weapons. You know what I fear now? A cyber attack. I tried to come up with examples of what it would be like but my mind just raced.
- "Weatherman goes crazy over thunder during snowstorm." I saw this yesterday and couldn't believe people thought it was worthy of watching. That's a guy trying way too hard.
- The Cowboys will end up putting the franchise tag on Dez Bryant.
- I think Facebook has become a place where everyone posts four year old videos.
- As I listen to far right wingers on TV and radio, one thing has dawned on me: They want people to be either pure or evil. They want Chris Kyle to be flawless. They want "Mama Bear" to be beyond reproach. Hey, I'll admit it, I do to. But I don't how you can live in this world past elementary school and not realize every person is composed of grey.
