super letdown

I've decided that the best part of the Super Bowl was seeing T.J. Thyne in a cars.com commercial. Anything involving Hodgins from "Bones" makes me a happy camper...

As for the rest of the game? Since I'm fairly certain that this is neither (a) a nightmare, or (b) a parallel world that I can't escape without some sort of pocket Simon-looking device provided by The Doctor, I'll be actively trying to repress this memory.

At least Cubs season starts soon...

you know you did it, just admit it

Sometimes, I'm really glad that God invented the FOX network. And I got really excited during "House" last night when I saw the promos for their latest "event".

Starting Monday, November 27th, FOX will be airing a two-part interview with O.J. Simpson entitled "If I Did It, Here's How It Happened" - no doubt to promote his upcoming book with a similar title.

(If??? Seriously, dude...IF?!?! I mean, I know, "jury of your peers" and all that...but they had to acquit because Chewbacca is an eight-foot-tall Wookie living on Endor with a bunch of Ewoks.)

It makes sense, though, that describing a "completely different" way in which he would've cut 'n' run (in gruesome detail, of course) would put to rest any and all speculation that he really did it the first time around. I mean, there's no way that a person could come up with more than one way to slit the throats of his wife and her boy toy du jour.

Hold on... I rolled my eyes so hard that one of them popped out of my skull... ahh, there we go. Moving on...

There's some sort of delicious irony in the fact that the Wednesday night chapter of this interview airs immediately after "Bones" - a show about a forensic anthropologist that works with mutilated corpses to solve crimes after the CSIs are unable to find the real killer. Just sayin'.

yes, it is too difficult to get up and change the channel

I'm going to have to stop watching FOX.

Why, you ask?

Because they air that new Ford commercial featuring Taylor Hicks at least twice during The Simpsons hour every night, and a few more times if I decide to watch House. And if I see that commercial one more time, things are getting thrown at the TV.

If I had a puppy, Taylor Hicks would make me want to kick it.

it's better to be "done" than "good"

Or so I told myself fifteen minutes ago when I printed out my last assignment for the semester. Does it suck? Absolutely. Will I get a grade above a B? Absolutely not. Do I care? Abso...well...sort of. But it's done. And now I can worry about "studying" [cough] for exams.

"This final will be completely open iPod." ~Civ Pro professor, on allowing students to listen to music to drown out the clickety-click of keyboards during the exam.

Meanwhile, did anyone see "American Idol" tonight? I only saw a bit, because I have to watch the complete destruction of Luke and Lorelai's relationship on "Gilmore Girls". But I will say this:

(1) Elliott is awesome, even if he does sound a bit like Clay Aiken. (And I do enjoy the Gaiken.)
(2) Who let Paula Abdul off her meds? Yes, Elliott was good. Was he tear-worthy? Not so much. The only time I've ever cried listening to music was when I got to see Bruce perform "Born to Run" live, and that's because it's Bruce and one of the Five Greatest Songs Ever Written. This is "American Idol" - the show that gave us Justin Guarini for christssake. If this week is any indication as to how this season will progress, the producers better keep the horse tranquilizers on hand next week, just in case Paula loses it.
